What to do about noisy neighbors?

The more they drink and smoke, the louder the music gets... until 4 or 5 am. They yell insults at me when I ask them to be quiet. I'm in lawless country so calling the police won't help.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. Two wouldn't work:
I can't move and I won't join them (they are boars and bores). But I liked and will try your other ideas. It's hard to choose just one best answer!. Thank you again!

Living with noisy, inappropriate neighbors are always difficult, and it's even more difficult because you live in a lawless country, and telling them to shut up isn't working. They're being extremely inconsiderate of you. There's no problem with having a party, but those throwing the party need to be aware of the noise level on their neighbors.

The best advice that I can give is to talk to your other neighbors. Your not the only one being inconvenienced by these jerks, and you and your other neighbors can present a unified front when demanding these idiot to turn down their music. They should listen if there are 10 or 20 irate neighbors at their doorstep demanding respect and consideration.

If they still continue to act like jerks, then any of the other suggestions presented by others on this board should be considered including:

1) Move to a quieter neighborhood.
2) Join the party.
3) Buy some earplugs.
4) Get a really loud stereo system, face the speakers against the common wall between the two apartments, and play something they hate at a really loud volume right when their trying to go to sleep. Better yet, play it when they're hung over.
5) An air compressor is just as effective at making lots of noise as a stereo system. Plan on remodeling your apartment when they're hung over. It's their fault they partied so hard they're trying to fall asleep when you want to remodel your kitchen.
6) Hide things like raw meat all over their veranda.

Well, since you live in a lawless country, I would just wait until they have a big party and gun everyone down.

If violence isn't your bag, maybe you could wait about an hour or two until they try and get their rest and make a lot of noise yourself. Even better, try to catch them when they are hung over.

Another idea is to make the area unpleasant in some way. For instance, go and get some raw meat or even better some shrimp shells. Put it in hard to find hiding places. Anything tubular that you could take the end off of like a metal chair or something would work well. Even under some rocks if you have trouble finding a place. In a few days, the area should be unbearable.

Get a bull horn and ask them very loudly to be quiet.

If they don't, drown their party out with a water hose.

Noisy neighbors are always a difficult one to handle.

Then you have to make noise when they sleep.

You can buy ear plugs....and at 7 am, put on some loud music with the stereo speakers facing their house.

It worked with my neighbor ;)

I don't know, I have a similar problem with my neighbors. There door and driveway is right next to my bedroom window, and their balcony is right above their door.

You are lucky that their parties only last until 4 or 5. Because My neighbors don't start partying until 2-3 in the morning, and then it lasts for a while. There is always people coming in and out of their door (next to my window) or sitting on the balcony smoking and drinking.

They smoke pot sometimes and the smell comes into my house. Its disgusting.
My neighbor's girlfriend will stay over and bring her annoying dog that won't stop barking. And they bring their dog into my yard to poop. (Then they leave it there).

One night someone kept ringing the door bell and pounding on the door (at 3 in the morning) and when I finally answered it because they weren't going away, there was some drunk guy who didn't realize he was at the wrong house.

It is so much worse in the summer because I can't leave my windows open or I'll be accosted by the smoke and the noise of people screaming and fighting and car horns beeping. (I moved away from the city to get away from the noise and pollution.... but my neighbor is exactly what I was trying to get away from.)
