In most communities there are policies that mandate a lowering of noise and activity after a certain hour of the evening..usually 10 PM on weekdays and 11 or midnight on weekends. However, the degree to which that policy is enforced depends on the community and the neighborhood. In addition, major urban cities are less likely to restrict activities except in predominantly residential and/or suburban communities.
I presume that you are not a student and not part of the college and academic community. If that is the case then you will be better off seeking a residence in a more adult-oriented environment. I'd recommend you begin that process right away, and also start setting aside the resources you will need to move. (Of course, this probably also means a higher rent or mortgage, but the benefits of a satisfactory living environment, security, and neighborhood are well worth the investment. You have to decide what trade-off you are willing to accept. Personally I believe one's home living environment should be what you desire the most...after all, that is the place you call "home!")
As for your current situation, I would treat it as a temporary stop while seeking a more appropriate and desirable place to live in. And start doing a serious search for a place that better meets the needs and requirements of our personal lifestyle and preference. Calling the police is something you should avoid unless matters get completely out of hand. Remember, weekends are the times that college students party and let off steam, so the police will likely treat your complaints with a very large grain of salt. The only thing you will do is to make unnecessary enemies of both the police and your neighbors.
A suggestion - ask your coworkers, as well as people where you shop and spend much of your personal time (church, library, barbershop or beauty salon, etc.) about places...usually they know of locations and vacancies in their neighborhoods, or they know of some new ones that may be soon available. Good luck!
What the heck did you expect in a college rental?
Apparently - it's a rule that college students party and get rowdy.
Start looking for another apartment - instead of trying to change the climate of the one you are in.

I would give them at least to 10:00 pm but if it's that noisy that it's interfering with your enjoyment of your property, call the police. A couple of tickets will get their attention pretty quick.
Yes you can call the police.
I moved to an apartment building in Minneapolis three weeks ago and have some very noisy neighbors. This is an apartment specifically for college students, but it is in no way owned by the university, it is off-campus. Each weekend, they are shouting and parting all night, up to 3am at one point. The first weekend I told management about it, and they didn't even care. I don't want to knock on the door and ask them to quiet down, because you never know what will answer the door and I don't want to get stabbed or anything. Should I just call the police? Also, what time is too early to call the police? It's 10pm right now, should I let them go until midnight and then call? I don't care that it's a Saturday night, I still have to get up early and can even hear them with earplugs in.
