how to deal with loud neighbors?

Sure, you can try talking to them. but I doubt if it will do any good. People who are thoughtless/oblivious/high/drunk enough to play music that loud in the first place are not likely to respond to a polite request. I once had a neighbour who would come home from the bar at 1 am or so and turn the music up so loud that it shook my windows, waking me from a sound sleep. This happened several times a week for months. His response, when I finally pounded on his door after waiting for a song to finish because he couldn't hear me pounding on his door with the music playing, was "you can hear that all the way over there?". My bedroom was about 30 feet from his speakers. Another neighbour dealt with this noise problem one night by walking in the open door of the house and pulling the main breaker for the electricity.

Call the bylaw enforcement officer. If they don't handle that sort of complaint where you live, they will tell you to call the police.

There is nothing like someone in a uniform, who handles this sort of thing regularly, to get the message across. If any other neighbours are bothered, get them to call too. Most places have bylaws against unreasonable noise at any hour of the day. If someone is doing renovations and using power tools, that's reasonable because the noise has a purpose. If they are having a once-a-year birthday party, that 's one thing. Loud music on a regular basis is another story. If bylaws or the police attend, they don't say who made the complaint and it's far better to be anonymous so the noisy people have no one to point fingers at.

Talk to them first, and let them know that if the noise is still absurdly loud, you will call the police. Don't call the cops without warning the other people cause it might screw them over. Talk first, then call the police if the problem persists. I think you're head is in the right spot.

Your neighbors are not only breaking bylaw, they are breaking the law. The volume should not be that high. Where are all the other neighbors on this???

Stop worrying about being a nice guy, and lodge a complaint with bylaw. The offending party will be sent a warning, and, if the problem continues, will be dragged into mediation with you and your other neighbors. Also, go to the local police station, and mention this problem. The cops will be interested, because they know that where there is smoke, there is fire -- if someone is making so much noise on a street, it is often because he is drunk or high, and probably has a few other habits the cops would be interested in.

You should be concerned that you have such inconsiderate yobs living so close by, because your problems will not stop with the noise. Before you know it, you will have loud parties that attract all the scum of the neighborhood, and all sorts of other problems. Nip this in the bud ASAP.

Have the police handle it. They do not disclose who complained. Or you could try going to meet them and get to know them. Then at some other time mention that they might not realize how far noise carries in the neighborhood and that you can hear their music over the tv when inside. Or, try giving it some more time and see if they get over making a racket once they have settled in.

Bring Tupac back from the dead and call the outlaws and make a new hit em up about them
