I don't think it's a cavity wall. In fact, the noise is so clear I was doubting it was anything other than plasterboard.
I don't think I'd want to bring it up with my neighbour. I think it would be an awkward conversation to have.

Try chatting on this site diynot.com, it has loads of experts and professionals.
Lockdown has woken me up to the fact that the neighbours children are growing up, and the guy downstairs from me chooses to have internet chats in the middle of the night, and I consider myself lucky that we have concrete floors.
Good luck.

Thank you. I'll look up that site.
I imagine it's the same for a lot of people now that we are spending more time at home. It isn't easy.
We've even taken to watching TV with headphones if it's getting late.
