If I tell her she's being too loud I look like an asshole.

Only to her. Everyone else silently thanks you. Don't let assholes define the narrative by feeling like an asshole because you asked an asshole to quit being such an asshole.

I rent a closed office space but immediately outside my door sits a girl who thought it was cool to play music while she worked. I thought it was best to nip this behaviour in the bud and asked her to turn it down.

This was 6 months ago and she hasn't spoken to me since. I sometimes say hello and goodbye but she just blanks me.

Assholes will always find a way to be an asshole no matter what you do.

So she's even more quiet than requested. Sounds like a win. :-)
