You most definitely should NEVER call the police (especially in a working class neighborhood) over a noise complaint. Yes, it's anti-social behavior to play music way too loud. But you're potentially getting someone shot over your discomfort. If you don't feel safe talking to your neighbor face to face and asking them to turn down the music, you can try contacting the building management or other intermediaries, but definitely not the cops.
Over discomfort? Fuck you. I nearly killed myself due to sleep deprivation from people creating near non stop noise 24h every day. Every time such people got approached they threatened violence. Normal people you can communicate with don't create situations like this to begin with.
There is a slight difference between these two scenarios:
One warrants calling the Angry Men With Guns number. The other doesn't. Your situation definitely needed some dudes with weapons intervention. For most people it doesn't.
This is really what I should've said originally. In the case that there are other factors, like threats and harm to mental health, calling the police might be the right choice. What I said originally missed some nuance, and was honestly just a bit rude. Thank you for being a voice of reason
I'm definitely not saying you should call the cops instead, but contacting property management might also not be a good move as you might end up getting someone evicted for breach of lease if there are enough complaints.
Got it... going to do some
