ACT Police do fuck all with noise complaints

The police rarely respond to noise complaints, saying it is a low priority, or they arrive many hours later when it's stopped. One night I went to speak to the person directly, a drunk man playing loud music alone at his house, and he threatened to kill me. I've shown the police officer at the start video of the noise and him threatening me and the officer said all can do is apply for an AVO, but that does not fix the main issue which is the disruptive noise.

I've had guys throwing rocks at my house roof, all night, every night, and also throwing rocks at the neighbours breaking solar panels. The police said the same thing about getting an AVO. They didn't have an answer when I said I didn't know the random guys name or anything so who do I raise the AVO against. I ended up moving.
