several reasons for noise
covering up domestic violence is a big one.

You need to pray for that family and ask God to help you witness to them. If they move away they may disturb others where they move. Unless they genuinely having a party and inviting their neighbours and others over, there may be something wrong there, Have compassion, sometimes noise is actually a cry for help

I understand, but it's hard to overcome my anger at being thus disturbed. I shall try.

How do I stop the hatred I have for a neighbour? I am not sure which house it is, from which loud music emanates for hours. I can hear it enough to disturb me plenty and I feel helpless and very sorry indeed for those living closer to this. I just hope others will complain and get it stopped.

What compels such antisocial behaviour? To ruin the peace of everyone around them?

I feel hatred for whoever this noisy person or family are. I am praying for guidance from Jesus. But so far, I cannot stop how I feel. If I was next door it frightens me what I would be capable of doing if the authorities do not stop this. I thought I had love in my heart but I don't.

Any advice please?

check the legal noise ordinance. most places have 10:00 as the limit. if said noise is being made during the legal limits, then you have to pass the test & overcome it by receiving this as a challenge to strengthen yourself to condone issues you don't like. my solution to these types of issues is to smile about it, treats it comically, invent a rhyme about it & move on. it works every time!!! do you hate yourself when you make loud noises? i hope you resolve soon. blessings to you.

The most loving thing you can do is try to find resolution even if that creates a conflict. love requires you to actively address this for their good and the good of others. Ignore is not loving at all but is in fact unloving . if your authorities fail , talking fails . You may have no other alternative to prayerfully cause a conflict to seek resolution. Every time the music gets too loud blow a ship horn at them in alternating 10 ,30 second intervals. Tune it down low enough not to shatter glass but maybe rattle pictures off the walls. He with the loudest noise maker wins,😉☮️

Depends how many other neighbors you are ticking off with your even louder speakers...

Fighting fire with fire only works in wide open spaces. In a crowded neighborhood fighting fire with fire just makes more burned houses.

Now if you were out in the country, with only one annoying neighbor and nobody else around for miles... That would be a fun way to deal with the problem. :D
