Not exactly the same situation but have had neighbours that has the habit of throwing a loud party once in a while without telling anyone.
Next time the were setting up I went over with a bottle of popular tipple and asked them kindly please to let us know ahead next time, so we could plan around it. After that they were very becoming and even polite about it.
What I mean to say it's that even if anger is building up at your end, you should try your best and be nice, they might not (weirdly) be aware of the fall out of their behaviour.
I once had a party when I was younger and didn't let the neighbours know beforehand. The next day the guy from next door came over and I was expecting him to give me a telling off about the noise. Instead he asked me if me and my friends had moved his girlfriend's car to the other side of the road. I'd never even spoken to him before, so of course I didn't have a key to the car. He said it was a small car and a group of us could have bounced it across the road. I told him that I had no knowledge of that happening and maybe his girlfriend just forgot where she'd parked it but he went away looking unconvinced. Never spoke to him again before we moved out and I think he still believed we'd moved it.
