If they get all rude or act like they don't care, turn it up once you leave or do it again the next night just call the police.

I'm a very quiet person 99% of the time, but about once every 18 months I'll have too much to drink and the party ends up back at my place. We can certainly be loud at 5am becase we're too drunk to know any better and our neighbors have said something. The second they knock or text us we suddenly realize what we're doing and turn the music off right away.

It's either that they are wasted and having fun and don't realize it's so late and they're being so loud, or they're just dicks and don't care either way.

Might as well test it out before making enemies. I personally like the idea of the police just because I'm not confrontational AT ALL, but then again if they know who did it they could easily get upset you didn't just go knock on the door and that creates a crap environment. I know friend who will turn music up on purpose or be loud when they're drunk just because they've had run ins with their neighbors before and are being spiteful.

This is exactly what I was saying.

Just like Dalton says in "Roadhouse"....."Be nice..until it's time not to be nice"

Call the cops.
