I asked this question before and got some interesting answers but the problem is still happening. I live in a largely illegal immigrant neighborhood, I recently moved back to take care of my grandparents per their request. Our next door neighbors blast music every Thursday-Sunday night until 1:30 AM, sometimes 3. There are 24 people living in the house, mostly men but some wives and children too. My friend Marilu lives there, she tells them to turn the music down but they laugh at her and say "What are you gonna do call the cops"? in spanish. I have told them many times to please turn it down, but they laugh and ignore, sometimes theyre too drunk to answer. So I call the cops every weekend, but they get there at like 5 AM when the music is off. I asked the police dept. what I should do, they said to form a community action network, lol the community also play music loud so that wont work. I tried calling INS, they said nothing there can do but call the cops. Im going in circles..

My grandparents are sick and the music shakes our walls, they hate it but know there is nothing they can do, they can never sleep and it gives them migraines, I feel so bad for them all the time. I even tried calling the cops early, like at 3 PM but they still got there in the early morning when it was turned off. What else can I do??

Ok you ready and dont get scared because it will take a little doing but will provide results.......i promise.
Here goes
Draft a letter that look like something that the INS would write and mail it to the residence and send it at least 10 homes. Send the letters to 5 illegals families including the one making the noice and 5 families of legals who you think support the illegals (one of the 5 legals has to be you. You then take the letter and start to let the neighbourhood know whats in the plans. Make sure the letter is the same letter in Spanish and in English and that the same letters are sent to all the 10 homes and mailed in the same day but from a large city or a place where there is a INS office located.. Say that INS, homeland security and ICE is planing to make a sweep of the neighbourhood and is asking the corpration of some residence in this matter
I know this is extream but I assure you that this will work especially if you inclde that the sweep will be by INS, Homeland security and ICE. They will either clamp down and or move....Let me know if you plan to use this idea and or how it goes. ...........need more idea let me know......Good luck

I truly feel for you. I had that problem like 6 months ago and all the cops kept telling me was move! The landlord there said it wasn't her responsibility! So I just moved to a better neighborhood where it is quiet, thank god! I know it's probably not easy to get up and move but it's probably your best bet!

Some municipalities have a noise by-law (at least in Canada) and you can file charges against them -rather than call the cops. I have laid complaints against people like that and if they got 3 complaints, the city would fine them (which is what happened). I went down to the Police station. If they won't take the complaint, then go to your city hall.

Call the cops every day.
It's a low priority call, but maybe one day you'll get lucky and they'll get busted. You can also call the police station and ask to have someone mediate between you and your neighbors about the noise (probably schedule an appointment or something).

After 9:00 P.M. call the police!! You have never call the law, have you?? Why?? You can make a tape of the music, drinking. Then take them to court!! But take the evidence!! And don't play around!!! By law, the police have to make them turn the music down!! The police have a Chief of Police, The Chief has the mayor. And the mayor have you as their boss!!

Go to the precinct. talk to the police captains. Go to local government officials. andcomplain about too many people living there. they can change the taxes on the property from residential to commercial. If the landlord is being charged 10-20 times the tax, beleive me the people will be out.

Every municipality has some noise by-laws. You might have to report them and have the police drop by and ask them to comply.
That's about it.....unless you know someone with a dog that tends to bark at loud noises. Then get him to let you babysit the dog for a week or so.

Buy crazy glue. Wait (patience is a virtue which sounds like is almost exhausted in your case). When no one (pertinent) is around... super glue the volume knob or control to the 0 setting. Try squeezing the glue into the crevice or crack around the volume control. Test it out 10 minutes later... hopefully, they'll turn on the radio and they'll have no volume (or very quiet). If they buy a new radio or stereo... ask again for them to lower the volume. If they don't ... repeat glue procedure. ;)

I had that situation in basic terms as quickly as. that they had a dj gadget proper on the back component of our wall. After the fifth time of the law enforcement officers no longer exhibiting up in time and that they wouldnt turn the track down, our sprinkler gadget accidently had the timing mechanism activate & overshoot the dividing wall, and it sprayed water throughout their dj kit. They then stated as the law enforcement officers & the law enforcement officers asked us what got here approximately and we suggested it develop into twist of destiny. by no potential had yet another situation after that. P.S. law enforcement officers additionally suggested it develop into complicated to take heed to them reason each and all the loud track had effected their listening to from the 4 different cases they had to tell them to teach the track down earlier.
