According to residents, the normally subdued street near Deakin University has been transformed into a barrage of loud music and abusive language on weekdays and weekends.

Calls to police have resulted in warnings to the household, but neighbours say the music is often turned up when police leave.

A neighbour, who didn't wish to be identified, said residents were disturbed by the noise.

"Especially in the summer, that's when you get the partying on weeknights. The cars are parked on the front lawn with their doors open and their stereos blaring.''

On an early Sunday morning this month, a 21st birthday party at the house resulted in gatecrashers and a brawl on the street.

Last Thursday, bottles and cans from the party were still strewn on the street's nature strip, and blood stains smeared the house's doorstep.

Marc, a social work student living at the house, said he'd held about five parties since he arrived eight months ago and had received no penalty notices from police.

He said the house was often visited by friends who arrived in cars playing music and "didn't realise the type of area we're living in''.

"We have no intention to make the neighbours sleep less ... I do understand their concerns. At the same time, we're all human beings and communication is the best thing.''

A petition signed by 20 residents is set to be sent to Monash Council, asking for intervention as three households are preparing to sell up.

Monash mayor Paul Klisaris said the matter was for police to solve through on-the-spot fines, if necessary.

He said the Dispute Settlement Centre and the Legal Referral Services might also help.

"If noise problems cannot be resolved, those affected may also take their own legal action under the Environment Protection Act.''

Glen Waverley police's Acting Senior Sergeant Ross Graham said noise fines could be issued if party-goers didn't heed warnings. For repeat offenders, the council could get involved with police and build a case for a prosecution or fine, he said.
