Have you mentioned to the young lady that she is disturbing you? 

That would be 100% inviting abuse. Having heard the stuff she shouts when said neighbour doesn't answer the door.

And it’s not “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?”

Oh most definitely not language of the romantic kind!

Well, then, I guess you will have to call the police. 

Goodness knows what they can do? Is making a nuisance of yourself a crime? Disturbing the peace?

Yes, it will constitute some sort of crime, though in practice I suspect the police will encourage her to clear off rather than immediately charge her with anything.

I think the OP is correct and a noise complaint is normally the council as a first step.

If the property is rented, then another option would be contacting the landlord - it's in a LLs best interest to maintain a decent relationship with the neighbours so they are more likely to contact if they notice something serious going on with the property.

Hi
Contact the local housing officer at the council if you know its a council place. They will guide you, etc

Good luck

That's a good idea. I'm not sure if it's a council place or not. 

Hi

Thank you, not a problem
Give them.coucil a call, even if its not a one of theirs they may be able to tell you if its HA
and give you additional advice (they can also tell if its privately let and the owner has to register with the coucil to let as it is in some areas for all rentals

Good luck

The Landlord will contact the tenant, who will say that he can’t stop her doing this.

Eventually, the council or police will get involved, and they will find out that she has a bucketful of loose screws, and they will probably lose interest.

Or discover she is a crack-head and he is dealing. Then the police will smash the door down, arrest him, and then let him out a few days  (years ?) later.

Very likely, but sometimes these things are resolved by the person being made aware the noise is causing a disturbance.

The OP has indicated they don't want to raise the issue themselves with the resident or visitor, but there's still an outside chance that the landlord (if the property is rented) bringing it up might be enough to do the trick.

If the alternative is going to the council, who will likely send a letter saying there's been a noise complaint, then it's not like it could hurt.
