    Clearly your first step is the council's 'Pollution Enforcement team'.

    They should provide blank log sheets where you can record times etc when the noise is good/bad. Often also a machine to record the level of decibels which you add to the log at the relevant times.

    Next step would be to take the log to the Highways Dept, with a formal request for the noise level to be reduced. They will review, and may

    * close the road between certain night-time hours
    * create a divertion to move traffic elsewhere
    * enforce a maximum weight on the road to remove heavy lorries
    * re-surface the road to reduce noise
    * impose a speed limit
    * ignore


    You're a bad man :-D
