Basically, give them time to settle in. The reason you can hear them talk is due to not having enough furniture around them to absorb sound (i.e. sofa, rugs, drapes, etc), so you're going to hear their conversations for a while until all their shit is set up. Another thing is, your building has thin walls, so footsteps will be an on going occurrence that you'll have to deal with; I suggest getting noise cancelling headphones.
When to call the landlord? If they are being unreasonably loud at night by:
- Playing loud music.
- Hosting a wild party.
- Having screaming arguments.
Unfortunately, if they are loud during the day and there aren't any strict rules on noise, then there isn't much you can do about it until nighttime comes around when they have to be quiet. Hopefully, they don't have children or pets, if they do, I suggest renting a house or something.
