In general, if you fill out a police report, that's sufficient grounds
for warning, and if it happens repeatedly, the police may actually take
action.

Around here, it's bylaw enforcement, not police, that do the work.
However, the contact point is the same.

Would the police ever let my neighbor know that it was me filing the
complaints? Wouldn't want them to retaliate.

Odds are good that the police will issue a warning, and that's as far as
it will go. In that event, it's anonymous.

If the police only warn the neighbor, it's true that may be
anonymous but if a complaint is filed and the neighbor asks
who filed, it is their basic right to know who their accuser
is. However, if the police were to find the son blasting
away the radio when they arrived, they could cite that
without needing to mention any complaintant.

The sad thing is that the parents should do their job instead of expecting
neighbours to call the police.
