Tactful tip, I like it.

All of your tips thus far have been very good. I like blaming the walls and ceiling for the problem and mentioning other noises as the issue for me. I do need to tell her that I work from here and when the kids nap, etc. She has a child and one on the way, she should get it. Thanks everyone!

I know. I try to be as tactful, helpful, and gentle as possible.
I always give references and explain why something is incorrect. I try NOT to use the word wrong itself.
Some take it okay and are just shocked. For others it is as if I have personally wounded them.
One of the most common errors I see from the most experienced MTs (I am talking more than 10 years of experience, the been-doing-this-since-I-was-born kind): Using nitrates instead of nitrites in lab work. Using the term palpations instead of palpitations on a heart exam. Failing to use correct forms of mucus and mucous.
I would urge any MT, regardless of where they work or how long they have been in this business, to beg and plead for appropriate QA of their work. It is the only way discrepancies, untruths, poor habits, and a flat out incorrect terminology issue can be corrected.
If you value your work, value your QA feedback.
