Yes, I would. If I felt someone was in physical danger, I'd call.

I totally would!

I would.

I like to say I would, but it happens so frequently in on my street that I don't waste the time anymore. It is a nice neighborhood, but there are two sets of couples that love to get into heated arguments regularly.

On multiple occasions we have heard our neighbors having vicious fights, and have definitely been concerned that we heard physical violence. But we have never called the cops. Our reasoning behind that is that we are 90% certain that the male of the home sells drugs out of the house and therefore we are also 90% sure that he has a gun. We do not want to get involved and be a target of his anger or anything like that. Call me selfish, but safety of my faily is pretty damn important to me.

Yep. I don't want them to start shooting and hit us in our house. There was a couple at the END of the street who did that, cops came numerous times, but they moved out eventually. Thank God!

Yes! Not just for screaming, but definitely if I suspected domestic violence.

Yes I would, I would hate to see the news the next day and know I could have possibly done something to prevent a tragedy. I would also (and have) called about child abuse suspected on a stranger/neighbor, in my opinion better safe than sorry! I have a zero tolerance for these two things!

I have and would do it again. I was in my college apartment and I could hear my neighbors on the 3rd floor yelling from the parking lot. It was a man yelling and a woman crying loudly. And then I heard a loud thunk. Worst case scenario - someone is being hurt and then I would be happy I called. Best case - just a fight or they are watching TV too loud. Even if that's the case, it could be a wake-up call for them. At the very least, they are disturbing the peace so you have a right to call.

I don't know what happened, but they initially refused to answer the door until the officer demanded it. Then two weeks later a cop came by looking for the guy who lived there. So even though it didn't sound like "much," I'm really glad we called.

@eiko2010: When I called the cop said that he "heard them from hisquad car." He then went inside, so I don't know if he ever said their neighbors called, but I doubt it. You could call and say you are worried for your safety and ask that they not say who called. Even if its obviously, like you are the only neighbor, the cop could say he just heard it patrolling by or something.

I would. I agree with @SusieQ I would feel badly if I didn't and then something horrible happened.

@Jedeve: 9 times out of 10, the cops show up anyway, so either one of them calls or another neighbor calls. I'm guessing it's usually her that calls, because most of the time, he gets escorted out. One time, they made him take all his stuff out of the house. It sat on the lawn for a week before he came back for it. 3 months later, he was back. Real winners, my neighbors!
