If the volume is over the limits in your city code (too loud) or the noise is happening during the night, call the police. Otherwise, unfortunately, you may just have to accept the fact that some people are louder than others and as long as you are a renter, you will most likely have to put up with noise from neighbors. Its just one of the downsides of renting.

You said you are not in a written lease, I would guess the other people are not either. That means there may not be any grounds for the landlord to evict just because of noise complaints. As long as the tenant is paying their rent, the LL might not legally be allowed to evict them. It would depend on your state law.

Maybe nobody noticed but the last post from the OP was on 3/12/09 until someone resurrected the thread on 7/12. I'd guess the OP has either moved by now or the problem has been resolved.
