Ms. Johnson,
I feel for you and your neighbors, however, this Tribune article dates back to 2012 and there has been no action taken and no one fined or jailed either so far as I'm aware.
It will be interesting to see if any action is taken by the relevant authorities but I'm willing to bet you will remain just another voice in the wilderness.

#FOLLOWING an increase in the number of complaints from the public, police are warning that they intend to crack down on loud parties and other public nuisances.

#At a press conference at Police Headquarters yesterday, Asst Commissioner Leon Bethel said police are concerned about the growing number of large functions and public parties being held in residential areas until the early morning hours.

#He said: "Many affected citizens have complained of loud noises emanating from these outdoor and indoor functions due to high volume speakers.

#"Divisional police commanders are committed to monitoring neighbourhoods for signs of nuisances and will take appropriate action to bring violators to justice."

#Police intend to enforce all laws covering loud music and the sale of alcohol to minors, Mr Bethel said.

#He said police will not grant licenses for outdoor music and dancing events in neighbourhoods, and are encouraging applicants and promoters to move their events to properly regulated indoor venues, such as hotels and conference centres.

#While permits are not required for private functions in residential areas, Mr Bethel said the public should be aware that any party which draws complaints can be shut down.

#He explained that any time - whether in the middle of the day or at night - a loud noise is reported to be disturbing other citizens, an offence has been committed.

#However, Mr Bethel said, this law will primarily be enforced at night.

#Those found guilty of a creating a public nuisance can be fined up to $150, or in extreme cases, even face a short time in prison.

#Mr Bethel said members of the public are encouraged to come forward immediately when they feel they are the victim of such an offence, so the matter can be dealt with swiftly.

Bass is a lower frequency, hence longer wavelength, than higher pitched sounds. Sound waves (actually, any kind of waves) can diffract around obstacles smaller than their wavelength, roughly speaking. So if you hear a cymbal in an orchestra, but you can’t see it, the sound would have had to bounce off a wall somewhere. The sound from the bass drum would just bend around everything and reach you directly. Sound loses energy at every reflection, so the high frequencies will quickly be damped - anything other than a hard tile surface absorbs high frequencies quite effectively. Low frequencies are essentially coming directly. Again, there is a wavelength effect - short wavelengths of sound will be absorbed quite effectively by a pile carpet, while longer bass wavelengths require an entire sofa or a room full of people to see much attenuation. Infra-bass is almost unaffected. That’s why people in London many miles away complained about the bass noise coming from a 1980’s Michael Jackson concert, even though they could not actually hear the music as such.

This is all true. I recall an incident in Bimini some years ago when complaints were made at 3am about noise from a club there, and upon investigation it was discovered that it was actually coming from a beach club in Miami. The sound had traveled across the waters since it was a clear calm night with low humidity. One lonely oil tanker was found to be traversing the Gulfstream at that hour in the direct path of the sounds waves - but it was surmised that they had been able to simply "bend around" the tanker and continue with very little attenuation.

The power of Satan and his minions is tremendous. We must choose not to listen (even though we can hear), but instead read and obey the words of our savior Jesus Christ.
