Your message is unclear as it just comes across as word soup, try using full punctuation and breaking it into paragraphs

Who are they?

Please confirm is a noise recording app or an app put in place by your local council to introduce an impermeable layer between the community and those who should be dealing with the community?

Speak to someone! In the council, including your parish or local councillor and amongst your affected neighbours.

You are the people that need to grasp this. Your, you and the neighbours, efforts will be the only thing that bring about a change.

Google is your friend

If threats or intimidation arise then this is cirminal offence not a civil offence.

sorry about the word soup, it's frustaration and anxiety getting me down, plus the heat and the noise.

im sure other neighbors have or are going to make a complaint, i live in hope.

Speak to your local councillor aboutt he noise nuisance.

Have you actually spoken to the neighbour about the noise?

To quote Ace: how long has this been going on?  If not very, then the problem may well resolve itself in the near future when the mini quadbike breaks down.  Those things tend not to be of good quality and the majority of owners either can't or don't look after them properly.  Failure is the usual result and is, in the OP's case, something made more likely by the quadbike being confined to a garden - continuous riding in circles at slow speed is going to be hard on an air-cooled engine.  

Wait a while.  One day the quadbike will fail to start and the child will lose interest if Dad can't fix it there and then.

In order for it to be a noise nuisance in law, there typically has to be a complainant so they can assess how badly it affects you. It's usually a good thing that the tenant is a council tenant as the council is also the landlord and can take action against tenants as the landlord and as the enforcing authority for noise nuisance and/or anti social behaviour. Speak to the Environmental Health team at the council and find out if its them or the anti social behaviour team, and also get on to the housing office - if that is through the app, then bombard them with everything. I'd also recommend keeping a written diary - date, time starts, time ends, how it affects you (e.g. can't hear tv properly, unable to enjoy my garden etc,). All evidence that the council can use to get the guy to stop or prosecute him if not.

Unfortunately all councils have been decimated by government funding cuts so you might have to do some of the leg work yourself, but if you want it sorting, it's worth it IMO.

Sounds hellish, Fender.
Best if you can act in concert with as many other neighbours as you can. Collate your concerns and evidence - your logs of time, and how loud and intrusive this is - and all of you pepper the LA at the same time. And your local councilor. Get ready to escalate to your (new) MP...
There could be a couple of ways the council could act, one being the statutory noise nuisance, but the other being that they are seemingly not keeping their garden in good order, which most tenants have a duty to!
The parent is certainly ignorant, and may well come across as a thug too. But, is he? Is it all bluster? If the yob was actually stupid enough to cuss and swear and threaten, then that crosses the issue over a completely different line. Any hint of a threat, any sense that his behaviour is intimidating, then it's local Bobby time. Once they've been informed, and had a quiet word with yobbo, he'd be very stupid to do anything like that again - and you immediately report if he does.
If you genuinely worry about retribution, then fit discrete cameras front and back, and then 'welcome' any such behaviour as you'll have evidence.
And evidence is always the Biggie in such cases.

As asked before, any idea why this kid ain't in school?

Tbh, this seems like a pretty straight forward case to me. It is, by any parameter, surely a completely unacceptable type, level, and duration of noise, one that prevents the rightful enjoyment of ones home. And it affects all the neighbours. It surely cannot be a more simple a case for the council to resolve.

See below from the PDSA website

XL Bully breeds are banned – so you can report an XL Bully to the police if you see the dog without a muzzle or lead in public after 31 December 2023. If you are concerned that a dog is dangerous or has aggressive behaviour, regardless of the breed, then you should report the dog to the police or local authority.1 Nov 2023

he never walks it sadly, but thanks for advice though, he reminds of a black tooth in a mouth full of white teeth, care nothing for the elderly either side or at the back of our houses, lights fires in his garden when other neighbors are sitting in there gardens,
