Loud music abusive neighbour

AIBU to ask WWYD if anything / thoughts?
I work from home and so does my husband (not together but similar fields, he has client meetings out a few times a day). Our small garden backs onto another separate estates equally small back gardens, so there's 4 houses in our row on one estate and 3 bungalows gardens on the other estate. There's a fence separating the gardens but the bungalows are higher than the houses so we are lower down. We don't know the people on the estate behind us as whilst we back onto one another the entrances are in a different part of the village.
The 2 bungalows behind us are empty (holiday homes used a couple times a year by owners) and our neighbours beside us both work out of the home so I'm mostly the only person here during the day. Evenings and weekends we tend to go out as our garden is too small for DC now and because of this noise!
An elderly mother and her adult son live in the end bungalow furthest away from us, and he plays music all day every day, loudly from their garden. This has been non stop for months now (with the good weather and it was the same last summer) and he regularly plays the same song on repeat for hours or the same album on repeat for days on end. I love music I really do (and some of his choices are great!) but it's just so loud and so constant.
I don't want to approach them as hear them fighting daily (over the music!) and calling one another names, him swearing at her telling her what to do and her shouting back at him. He argues very aggressively which makes me jump at times. I can literally hear all this from inside and if I open up the back doors/windows (south facing so very hot atm) it's just too much. DH says to ignore it (he does), and as other neighbours haven't commented about it it could just get worse if we do say something. But it's me that's having to put up with this and now I'm worried I've become a bit obsessed by noise, I just want peace! 🙄 Should I just ignore it as it isn't actually stopping me working/harming anyone and perhaps it's irritating only me?!

If it is a nuisance, report it to the council. They will advise you.

Yes, Council should advise you of your options.

It sounds awful to me, and would do my head in. However, if he's a bit bonkers (all the swearing and shouting you mention) I would try and approach this via a third party - definitely ask the Council what they advise.
