The noise of a nearby tavern

There is an izakaya across the street from my house, and it's noisy because people use the store on the road from 10:00 to 12:00.
I talked to the police about the noise once, and the person at the store paid attention to it, but after that, there was no effect at all.
It's a residential area, so I'd like it to be a little quieter, but I'm in trouble because I don't know the person at the store and I don't know how to do it.
It's loud every night, so I'm sometimes woken up by that loud voice after sleeping.
What should I do?

Also to local government presidents and police. Patrols with frequent complaints.

That's annoying, isn't it...

I think it's best to tell the police.
Making a complaint directly on your own can also cause trouble.

When the same complaint comes in over and over again, the police will go through that place during late-night patrols and call out.
Once the police are on patrol, people will still be careful.

If it's a residential area, it's like the local government chairman or the whole community calls attention to the stores.
The store side is also responsible, isn't it?
I don't like stores where customers with bad manners gather.

Let's also contact the town chairman.

I'm sure there are other houses that you feel bothered by.

Since the neighborhood association and the police box cooperate
If it becomes an issue for the whole neighborhood council
Cops are also easy to move around.

If the timing is difficult

If they're going to be gone by the time the police arrive, it might be a good idea to leave evidence by videotaping or recording.
If you have a smartphone, it would be relatively easy, and if the volume is high enough to interfere with sleep, sound and video will remain solid.

I pray that a peaceful night will come.

Anger increases stress

There are railway tracks and railroad crossings very close to my house (5 seconds away if you drive).
Trains pass through the middle of the night, and track maintenance work is also carried out in the middle of the night.
The sound of a train is probably louder than that of a drunken person.
If the window is open, noise is so frequent that it is difficult to hear the TV. Vibrations can also be felt.
However, trains are everyday, day and night, so once you get used to it, you won't be bothered, and the kids are sleeping well.
After all, the cause of stress is not the sound itself, but rather the feeling of dislike for the sound, that is, the worry of anger.
Since your opponent is a human voice, not a machine, it might be extra annoying.
Has an izakaya been built recently? Or maybe you moved across from the tavern later?
If you move in later, if you look at it from the izakaya side, you might think “there's no point in being complained about even though you know it's across the street from the izakaya and they moved in.”
For example, there are people who later moved to the pig shed neighborhood and complain that the pig shed smells bad.
In that case, I understand if you give up a hundred steps and complain to a real estate agent, but there's probably nothing wrong with pig huts.
Neighborhood research is also important when choosing a home.
Also, everything is impermanent. It is also natural for the environment to change.
In any case, if you get rid of the feeling of “dislike” (the pain of anger), your life will be comfortable.
This is Buddha's wisdom.
It may be difficult to accept, but as a monk, I felt that way.
