Comment	I'd suggest the council route because the last thing you want is to become a target if your hunch is that they seem aggressive. Chances are they simply haven't been challenged so they just think the behaviour is acceptable. This is all much easier if you have a close with a few neighbors and you can't then be singled out as the complainant of course. Remember if your behaviour (which I'm sure is perfectly fine btw!) was offensive, you'd likely respond better to an official reproach rather than having some stranger in your block telling you what to so. Basically report it to the right authority and keep a track of it, both the behaviour and your contact with the council. Don't make it personal and equally don't take it personally. People can be ignorant, but it's not aimed at you generally even if you have to put up with it. Keeping that in mind should at least help you stay calm and in control. I'm sorry you're having a terrible time with your neighbours. I've been on both sides of this, noisy junkies in my block in an old flat and an over zealous old dear next door to my old house calling the cops on me for having parties at 8pm when I was working from home on a project while wearing headphones. It can get messy so some distance and a little perspective can be invaluable! Best of luck!
