This is way after you asked the question, but I had this same problem with people who used to live across the street from me who played thug rap blasting all day long and I could hear it in my house even with the tv on. (And I love rap, but as you say, they were playing the s*** of the s***.)
I put my speakers in my windows and on my porch and played, full blast, opera (helps that I love opera and have some cds) every time they played their thug rap. They came outside and looked a me, I looked at them, they said, "oh, maybe we are playing our music too loud" And the problem was solved forever.
That's because they weren't real thugs. I'd have capped your ass.
