Can anyone help me or advise me.
My neighbour moved in around 2 years ago now. Initially he was very quiet and I didn't know he was there, even though he seemed a little wierd and kept all curtains drawn at all times and never seemed to go out of the house unless it was evening and dark.

He initially came to introduce himself after a few weeks of moving in and seemed ok, although there was an alterior motive for him coming round initially and that was to inform me that my guttering was leaking on his property.

Anyway, after around 12 months he started playing his music, and boy was is loud.
I live in a semi detached house and he is the one attached to me. I work from home and work from my home office which is the furthest away from his house and even people I am on the phone to can hear his music.

He plays it for half an hour to an hour at all times of the day, several times throughout the day, and sometimes at night.

I went to his house once to ask him o turn it down, but could not get an answer so popped a pleasant note through the door asking if he would mind turning it down. This made no difference and I had no response. After a couple more months, probably around August/September time, I popped around again when he was playing it and knocked on the door. He answered, and I asked him to turn it down. He then became very verbally abusive and his voice got louder and louder. I could smell alcohol on his breath. The type of things he was saying to me was that I shouldn't be running a business from home, that I shouldn't of bought a semi detached house if I wanted complete silence, that I must of had the same level of noise from previous neighbours because they had kids, etc etc all things which to me were nonsense. I work for a large company and happen to work from home, I don't want complete silence at all, just not to be able to hear his music work for word as if it is on in my house, and I never heard a peep from previous neighbours even though they did have kids.
I was proud of myself because I kept my calm throughout even though I was boiling inside, and in the end told him that 'there was just no talking to him because he was shouting so much' and walked back home.

This has continued every day since then, and I am reluctant to go round because of the verbal abuse last time.

I know the police don't want to be bothered with these kind of things, but what can I do?

Anyone got any advise please?
