I had a similar problem, but I couldn't resort to many of the options you have at your disposal.

A person moved into the apartment directly above me. He liked to have sex from about 1AM to like 5AM. Don't ask me how he had so much stamina unless he was just watching porn all night really really loud. I couldn't sleep I thought about phoning the police but decided to ask a friend on the force first, he told me the police would probably laugh at me and I'd get nowhere. I thought of knocking on his door when I started hearing the girl screaming and him moaning, I actually went to his door to do so but the noise was so loud I could hear it outside his door and chickened out because it would be very awkward. Finally I wrote an anonymous note asking him to keep his sexual activities alittle quieter in the future. The next time I heard the moaning and screaming I went up taped the note to his door and rang his bell. I did so multiple times and eventually he got quieter though I must admit I continued to hear it until he moved out. But it was nice that he dumbed it down a bit making it a little quieter.

You however have plenty of Un-awckward options that have all been listed. I would approach your landlord first (Or Apartment manager) if they do not resolve the issue after a week proceed to phone the police, I'm not sure about where you live but in Canada at least Police are required to respond to every legit complaint (Report). If after the police respond the man above you continues to blare his music talk to other tenants in your apartment about the issue. Get one of them to call the police the next time, let the police handle the issue. The police do not like coming back to the same address multiple times and are likely to do something. If he ignores the police around three times and you had different tenants call the police. Your last resort should be to look into your legal options, consult your apartments management then issue a threat of legal action to the tenant responsible for the disturbance. If the music continues take legal action against the tenant.

The idea of assault or destruction of property or retaliatory action via blaring your own music , verbally assaulting the tenant etc...etc.. should never even be seen as optional. You may really want to take the law into your own hands but its in your best interest to let the authorities and legal system deal with the issue. Only problem with doing things by the book , you may not be able to stop his music from blaring for days, weeks possibly months since to follow through with the various actions takes time!

God Speed and hope you shut the jerk up and get some well deserved sleep!
