We have a weekender and our 20 year old goes up with his mates every so often . They're not deliberately loud , but they are naturally loud .
It only took one polite word from the neighbour at 2am to make them realise that what they were doing was intrusive . They apologised and have never been a problem again . If only he listened to me like that ....

Yeah ice cream mixed with rat poison... *Jokes*
Can tell you're lacking sleep and likely, feeling grumpy right now
laxative maybe, they can't party with runny stomach.
Call police if continues, they might not know how disruptive they are as no one have ever told them.
Was it a swear word? lol...
I wasn't therre ... But I gather it was something along the lines of " guys , it's 2 am , can you keep it down , some of us are trying to sleep" . He only needed to say it once .
Using the lawn mower at seven am , doesn't let them know you have a problem with what they're doing . All it will do is aggravate them , they'll start whinging amongst them selves about that inconsiderate neighbour waking them up when they had a late night and things just escalate .
First rule of conflict resolution is avoiding the conflict .

Mate, why thinking so much????
You just need to talk to them and explain your concerns politely. I am 100% sure they are not aware that they are creating problems for you. Once you will let them know, hopefully problem will be solved.
If you try to call police or complain to council/landlord without talking them, it will only give them negative image.
if they are koreans, then normally in korean culture - they have a very high respect of their elders and would not just dimiss any legitimate issues.
Just knock on the door and the explain the situation that would defuse everything. Communication goes a long way to resolving issues.

Genuine foreign students (and asians ones at that) will generally want to stay well clear of issues with the police and anything else that can endanger their visa.
Talk to them or have the police pay a friendly visit. You'll likely never hear from them again (either that or they have a PR!)

Yeah that's really sad and IMO pathetic that you are judging people based on their race. Did you stop for a split second to see if there are any other common characteristics that they share?
Do they play in bands? Do they work night shift?
I'd like to think there is a higher chance that the tenants are all deaf than there is of the problem being because they are from a particular country. I've quietened down in my mid to late twenties but I had tons of noise complaints made against me and my parties during my younger years.

Westminster is on the money.
Introduce yourself. Hava chat, hava laugh, take some interest in them, find out where their family is especially parents etc.
I once took some cooked food next door to welcome new neighbours, made friends for life. Doesn't work with everyone.
Good luck
Cheers

Gran Torino in reverse?
and this is why Australia will be a terrible place in 100 years. If you make a complaint against someone that isn't caucasian it's labelled as racist. Ever notice how it's not racism when it's targeted at caucassions?
anyways, back on topic, I'd either ring the cops, the land lord, or move.
Bloody hell, why is it that common sense has disappeared out the window?
Fullylucky - this is not an international incident, it is not even about race.
Just go talk to them, they can't do anything about it if they don't know there is a problem.
Be an adult and go talk to them.

the OP put koreans in the "title head".
no one mentioned anything about race other than being labelled - disputes, disagreements happen everywhere workplaces, socially etc. (nothing wrong to just go up to them to speak to them about the current issues whether they are korean, lebanese, chinese, indian, african etc).
