I know that heart-sinking feeling well. This opinion won't be popular, but in my experience there is nothing you can do, you need to get out. If you have a reasonable landlord, maybe you can come to some agreement. Often if you yourself can find someone to replace you, they will allow you to go. You're making the classic mistake of applying white thinking to a nigger mindset. You think that if they hear your noise, they will realise you can hear their noise and turn it down. No - doesn't work like that. They don't CARE if you can hear their noise.

This is the same conclusion I reached based on similar experiences.

I am telling you this and I have told this to many people:
With a small investment of time and money for equipment, you can beat them at their own game.
The premise is to play music that would annoy them. I recommend the theme song from Friends. You'll want to leave it playing while you're not home. If there is a way to put exterior speakers up, that would be best.
Play this on repeat loop and then enjoy.

I'm planning to get a nice subwoofer and soundbar to blow these nogs back to Wakanda with some Black Sabbath. Once I flex some muscle back at them hopefully they'll take the hint and back off
Been there and it won't work, they don't care. The issue is loud noise, if anything adding to it will only encourage them to make more noise since they will think you like to play loud music too. 🙄 These people are too dense to take hints and aren't even remotely sensitive to noise in the same way (which is why stupid people often talk very loud).
My personal suggestion; unless you are adept in dealing with confrontation (ie. assertive without getting aggressive) and can get your point across to them as friendly as possible, without feeling like a total pussy inside - then get familiar with earplugs (wax are the best) and learn to ignore them as much as you possibly can until your lease is up.

Oh yeah! Make sure you get at least 1800 watts industrial subwoofer. The kind that rock band PA systems use.
