Noisy Neighbours arguing
Discussion
Good evening.
My neighbours are old mid 80’s I’d say.
They however do argue a lot. The husband is a big old unit and the wife isn’t probably about 5ft.
Anyway when WFH I have heard them numerous times having arguments, The husband with a lot of swearing and insulting and the past 2 times i’ve heard clearly something thrown at the wall. My desk downstairs is located near the shared wall.
WWYD ?
A call to 111 a bit much ?

Pop round on a pretense and check the vibe
I'd do this.But if you suspect any kind of domestic violence situation, yes, call it in.
I would be careful making assumptions. We have the same situation with our neighbours, albeit 20 years younger. Lots of arguing, shouting, screaming and swearing, together with frequent police and ambulance visits. The culprit is the 5ft woman, not the 6ft boyfriend, but the police always take her side. Tbf, he is a mug for sticking around.
Also, be aware anything reported to the police may need to be declared at house sale time.

this. I would be mindful of leaving it alone until you really feel something is massively off. Also, be aware anything reported to the police may need to be declared at house sale time.

Noise cancelling headphones.
Noise cancelling headphones are great for a constant droning noise, like being on an airline flight. But they don’t work too well for short sharp noises like someone shouting.Besides nobody should have to wear noise cancelling headphones 24/7 because of someone else. It’s no way to live. They also get uncomfortable to wear after so many hours
Unfortunately, some people just seem to communicate that way. Maybe they have brilliant make-up s*x?
We had neighbours who were such a couple, one day it was so bad and culminated in what sounded like someone being thrown down the stairs. Then... Silence... s
t... Did he snap and through her down the stairs?! Nope, just as I was reaching for my phone she piped up; "what did you do that for you*#£&?! You effing broke it!"

Plus the number of times she has broken bones over the past decade or so (not so much recently)

Go round with a bag of Werthers.
Yeah i don’t really speak to them since he kicked off a few years ago when I was having some work done on my front drive. Well he didn’t kick off at me but the guys doing the work told me when I got back he had been having a right go at them.Edited by Daytonagrey on Tuesday 28th March 15:29

See the OP, they're in their mid-80s, not sure that's what they do to make up 
Maybe a friendly (concerned neighbour) knock on the door "Just wanted to check you're both all OK as we heard some loud noises, everything OK?"
They may be completely oblivious to the disruption they are causing and even be embarrassed and quieten down.
Or they may not, in which case you'll know what you're dealing with. In this case, you might fear for their safety and call the police when it happens.
