The police have no personal duty to you to do anything in response to any complaint you provide to them. For that reason, you have no basis for which to sue the police over this. Rather, this is a political issue. Complain to the police chief if you think the police officers did not act appropriately. If that does not get any results, try the mayor or city council.

Most threats are not criminal. Being a jackass and a lousy neighbor is rarely a criminal act, so the fact that the neighbors might be mad at you does not necessarily cross into the area of criminal threats.

And contrary to common belief, the police can rarely ever force entry into a home and force people to turn off the music. They MAY be able to issue a citation or try and arrest the responsible party at the residence for disturbing the peace (or other violation of state or local law) if they can (though, this might also require a private person's arrest by the reporting party). As TM stated, if you feel that the responding officers did not handle the call properly, you can speak to their agency about their performance.

Understand that enforcement of laws - particularly lesser offenses that address quality of life - are political decisions and are often very low priorities.
