probably none of my business (maybe upsetting for some)

starters first time posting on here, secondly I don't know if I'm posting it on the right place.

we live in a house that has another one attached to the back of us (so we have no back garden - just so you get the pic) and on our left a block of flats, all the walls are connected to some form of living arrangement.

currently as I type this, I can hear a load of shouting, screaming, crying, and banging. I'm not sure if it's someone in the flats or the house behind us (I think it's the house as we always hear them banging up the stairs. anyway after every bang or the man shouting aggressively I hear the woman scream "no, no, no" or "ouch" or her crying. do you think what I am hearing is domestic violence or just a very heated argument. also to add in the mix, if it is the house they also have a young child too.

I was thinking of calling the local police but if I'm being over the top and it's nothing I will feel bad for calling them out but if it is that and I don't call them it could end bad. I would ask my OH but he's fast asleep and has a long day at work tomorrow. and I'm heavily pregnant and everytime there's a bang or a shout the LO kicks me causing pain so I can't sleep.

so basically I don't know what to do so need people's advice.

You absolutely did the right thing. You don't know what could be happening in the house. They might deny anything happened but at least if nothing else the call has been recorded as a domestic incident. For various reasons people often deny anything has gone on but don't let that put you off reporting any future disturbances. Better safe than sorry

I had a similar situation in my block of flats and I went listening in the hallway to find out which property it was. Sounds horrible and nosy. But I found out, and got the police. Even if the police don't find anything going on, they then have a log for future reference.
