Can’t take it anymore

I moved next door to the noisiest neighbours I’ve ever come across. Every day without fail their tv will be on maximum volume, followed by music at maximum volume, their 3 chihuahuas yapping all day and night and ending the day with a full blown fight including smashed glass against the walls and slamming doors.
I’ve been here for 2 years and I can’t cope with it anymore. The only time I get a break is when we go out but it’s not reasonable to be out of our own home all day every day. I’m 5 months pregnant and desperately want a home birth but I know it will be stress filled and traumatic having to listen to them during the labour and ruining my memories.
I haven’t admitted it to anyone else but I’m terrified of them, I worry if I ask them to be quiet they will turn on me and make my life hell or threaten me. They are friends with all the neighbours on the road (who are similar in their ways) so I have no one to back me.
I can’t afford to move out and even if I could there isn’t anywhere to go, I would have to uproot my dc from school as I don’t drive and change our lives because of these people.
Right now they are having a barbecue in the front garden with loud music and hammering with screaming and swearing. I feel like they do it on purpose as they must know it bothers me, as they do something else if I go into my garden or come home. I haven’t had a full nights sleep since I moved here and I feel depressed and unhappy all the time.
Short of reporting them and facing the consequences of threats I’m not sure what to do. Can anyone advise please?

We had similar OP. I'm genuinely really sorry. It's absolute hell Flowers

Firstly, do you rent or own?

Thank you I rent from a housing association, we were moved here after leaving my violent ex so it was supposed to be a happy fresh start for us. There aren’t any exchanges in the local area for miles and haven’t been for the past year.

Well that's easier in one sense, as it means if you do put in a complaint, it won't affect your ability to move/sell.

You can put in an anonymous complaint. If you're feeling threatened, don't go round. It more than likely won't end well.

You do need to get authorities involved. You can't go on like this.

The only issue with anonymous reports is they’ll still know it was me, they’ve overheard a friend tell me to report them and they get on well with everyone else. They’ll definitely make my life hell while I wait for an outcome, including the other neighbours. It scares me to think how bad it will get in that time frame and the council may not even act on it.

Every time a fight breaks out ring the police, you don’t have to give your name or anything and I would be inclined to say you were walking past the house and heard what was going on and thought you should call them!💐
