My loud neighbours in the flat below have (admittedly increasingly infrequent) loud altercations. It's mostly one-sided: a man screaming at a woman. I hear occasional thumps and slams when they fight, but not any accompanying noises of pain, so it could just be "toys coming out of the pram". I know it's hard for all women, let alone immigrants without native English skills (as she sounds to be) to report domestic abuse, but I can't be sure that any violence is being perpetrated, merely bellicose unpleasantries. It may even just be that the couple has a "fiery" relationship.
