Noisy neighbour
Discussion
So I recently moved into a rented place (3 weeks ago), in a very built up area. All fine apart from my immediate neighbour, who has a son who looks late teens, and it appears the parents spend a lot of weekends away.
Cue the music being cranked up very loud, starting at about midday and going often until after 2AM on weekends. Lots of friends around, cars blaring music in the street etc etc etc
It's driving me insane!! all I can hear is thump..thump thump..thump...thump thump on and on. He has zero consideration for anyone around him and the music level is high enough I can hear the base over my telly, own music etc, constant thumping. Its way above a level you could go to sleep with.
Now he's not the sort who looks like he would take kindly to being asked to turn his ridiculously loud music down, and clearly he doesn't care about anyone around him, so what do I do?
I could call 101 I suppose where it goes past midnight, but could be opening myself up for pain if he has been doing this for a while and suddenly I move in and the police are called. I could try going and asking him and his mates to keep it down, but lets be realistic, he's not giving anyone else a second thought so is hardly likely to go "sure mate, sorry for bothering you", and I suppose I could speak to his folks, but again he probably wouldn't like that approach, and honestly he could make my life a lot more miserable than I can make his.
Any ideas (apart from move since I just spent thousands moving in here!!)

Grow a pair and just go and ask to tone it down a bit ,what’s the worst that’ll happen,he’ll tell you f
k off and mind your own business,at least then you know where you stand,or he may apologise and get embarrassed not realising he was annoying you,if the later then (pussy)grab him by the neck and give him a piece of your frustration

So, on weekdays the parents are in residence and the music stops ?
Why don't you get a big sound system and blast the bejesus out of them with a selection of MOR hits
a bit of Celine Dion maybe ?.
Oh dear, you gotta fight fire with fire or be a doormat all your days.

Use as excuse to buy big stereo.
Put sting "fields of gold" on repeat.
Crank to 11.
Go out for the weekend.
By the end of it all he'll need to do is look at a wheat crop ond he'll be shivering, clockwork orange style.

This, play the tool at his own game, someone I know had this years ago, so when he went out he put a speaker up tight against the wall facing the neighbour, stuck one annoying song on loop and cranked it right up.

Never had to endure a noisy neighbour again.
Give it 30 minutes after he's turned his off and do that.

OPer, I'm sure your neighbours are keen to hear the musical version of Bat Out Of Hell a few times while they sleep. https://youtu.be/CGI4qCgbjh8
Actually, it's quite catchy, so how about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8-WHslFhbU

We had something similar to this, I had brought it up with the parents but it would only stop things for a few weeks, in the end the only thing that stopped it was having a chat with the kid in question. All been OK for months since though!
I was about one night of loud away from doing the loud music retaliation though so the other posters are right too
