finding neighbours rows with children triggering

nc'd for this but am a regular. I live in a 'nice' area in a terrace and my neighbours on one side are very noisy. They are noisy people with parties, shouting in the garden etc, which is irritating but happens.

They row at least once a week, normally two or three times. This is kids screaming, parents screaming. It carries through the walls and is very loud in my house. Sometimes their kids seem upset and frightened. There is lots of banging etc.

I grew up in a violent household and was physically emotionally and mentally abused by my mum. I've had a lot of therapy over the years about it.

The screaming and arguments next door really gets to me and takes me back to that time. It actually makes me feel quite sick.

I've tried asking them to keep the noise down but it makes no difference. This last time I was quite worried about their dcs and knocked. I got a really rude response from their teenager when she opened the door, she was hostile and called me names. It was quite late in the evening.

I'm an lp with teenage dcs but I guess because of my background I make sure we have a peaceful home. We don't argue much anyway but its more discussions if we disagree

I don't know what is 'normal' tbh or what if anything to do next.

sorry meant to say 'naice' area as in the pretence that everything is normal, much like how I grew up also.

Never interrupt a domestic if you can help it. Very dangerous for the person interrupting xx
Call the police if you’re worried there’s abuse or violence happening when you next hear it.
Do other neighbours hear it?

Thanks tutru yy maybe I shouldn't have knocked. I don't know the other side although they are moving. It's hard because how do you tell when to call the police? I think I find that difficult to judge because it was so normalised when I was a kid but on the other hand as we don't have rows at all maybe other people do have lots of screamy rows iyswim.
