Zoning
  All States      
What can be done about an obnoxious neighbor that pays his music very loud, day and night? The police have tried, but so far nothing has worked.

You can take them to small claims court, alleging nuisance. For starters, you can rent/borrow a device to measure the sound levels at the property line and inside your house. There is probably a zoning law limiting the number of decibels your neighbor can send over the property line. In court, you should

(1) Bring witnesses,

(2) An audio tape,

(3) Copies of your police reports

(4) Evidence of the sound levels, and

(5) Any other evidence you can muster.
