Yeah, the worst I've ever done is yell at a neighbour the afternoon after they started a party at 1am and finished around 8am with music blasting. They didn't even hear me kick a hole in the front panel of their door during their party.

Their answer the next afternoon "It's a Saturday night what's the big deal".

If that doesn't bring me to machete in the butt territory, I don't know what will.

I had one upstairs who would blast music at 3am on Tuesday nights. My boyfriend at the time would go up and ask them nicely to turn it down. After 8 times over 8 weeks, there was still no result. I went up and said "my boyfriend is nice. I'm not." And proceeded to yell at them.

It ended in a yelling confrontation in the hall between me and them. Called the cops. Neighbors excuse was that "nighttime is their daytime because they work nights". I hated them, was so glad to move.

I'm really not the type to call cops either but besides asking them nicely we tried to make a truce and say 'please don't blast it over our bedroom' (their bedroom too, same layout). Which they ignored.

Had some pretty bad neighbours in the past too, worst one was abusing his girlfriend, called the police numerous times on them. Luckily I've gotten good neighbours this time around.

Where I live you can't call the police over noise complaints. You have to call the council, which are only open in business hours. They then tell you that if the problem persists for longer than 6 months to call them again, then they'll check on the house that is causing the problem at random intervals for the next year and then if they see anything out of the ordinary they will begin a process to deal with the problem that can take anywhere up to a year.

So in short, if you have noise problems from neighbours our council might sort it out in 2 and a half years, if you are lucky. (This doesn't include domestic violence, however, the police do deal with that.)
