While some cities don't have DAYTIME noise laws, nearly all have laws about noise after 9 or 10 p.m. There are also curfew violation laws, and chances are some of his guests are under 18. Chances are that there is drug/alcohol use going on. While the local cops might not be able to do anything prosecution-wise about the noise, they could stilll be prevailed upon to knock on the door and ask Junior to turn it down. One trick that always worked for us was to get the homeowners to come home a couple hours early one day, surprising the kids.

I think you are just as crazy as them. Why would you go over there and say this Because, the kid was being a smart ass. My husband had *just* talked to him and this car is here ALL the time!!! We (and the kid) know who's it is. When my husband went over there to ask about the car, he said the kid was smiling when he said he didn't know who's car it was (showing off in front of all his friends) and then just shut the door. A 180 degree change from when my husband talked to him earlier. We've been WAY more than decent with this kid and his friends. This has been going on for at least a year, if not more. We've talked to this kid several times, his aunt, his uncle (who don't live there, they just happened to be there when we've gone over to ask them to tell the kid to turn the music down) and his grandfather. They are cool when we have talked to them, but like I said, they aren't home that often and have no idea what's going on when they are gone. When we've talked to them , all is good for a few days or so, then it starts all over again. Like I said before, the kids grandparents are cool and I never wanted to start trouble with them or have them think we are being Justin Beiber Fans. If we weren't cool with them and didn't get along with them, then I wouldn't care if I pissed them off. So, that's the reason we haven't called the cops on them or anything like that. It's as if these kids are just running that house over there. I don't care what they are allowed to do over there, it's not my business, but I'm not having it around my house. I'm not about to let some 17, 18 19 year old kids think they call the shots here, I pay the mortgage, not them. I have truly had enough!

I would had the cars towed a long time ago for trepassing on private property.. and would had called the police if they didn't listen earlier. Being nice will only get you so far sometimes.. You have to show them you mean business.
I wish you luck.
Edit.. Well you are in away letting get away with it, by not calling the cops or at least getting the cars towed..

Just to chime in with what others have said - it really is important to call the police. You want to create an official record of every incident. When the police get sick of it, then things tend to start getting resolved.
Had a similar experience here with an 18 year old guy whose father passed away and left the home to him plus a hefty life insurance settlement.
