I live in bachelors pad which is just right close to each other. My neighbor has been very extreme lately, he plays too loud music which really annoys or if not he is on the phone like a call center agent does, although he doesn't get paid because he just calls a friend or a family member. He is so annoying because he almosts shouts when he is on phone or even when he just talks to his wife. I don't have the courage to tell him how annoying is he. What do you think should I do?

It really depends on what kind of a relationship that you have with this person. If you have a good relationship with the person, you could simply go and talk to them in person and let them know about the things that they are doing that are driving you nuts.
If you don't have such a good relationship with the person, I think that you should make an effort to get to know them because in a relationship comes more consideration for other people.

Thanks for such a great advice dorannmwim. We are not friends, i mean, we don't really see each other often. Yes, i think that is true, I'll try to make friend of hima and maybe give him a food with sleeping pill on it so that he will just sleep and stop annoying people. Just kidding, but yeah thanks for this, I will surely give it a try.

I think that consideration is something that is becoming a lost art. Not from the neighbors around here, they are great, well most of the time. Not enough of the time for it to be a problem granted. There are just a couple of times now and then to say the least. There are a lot of times where trucks roll down the street and rattle my bed but that's another story.
As for what you should do, well I think that really I did not want to be in that situation. There were one time where I was in such a situation where I had to confront a neighbor that had been a nuisance who has since moved away and it was not a comfortable situation. I would advise trying to approach the situation in the most diplomatic manner possible but even then, it might lead to harsh feelings. It does sound like one of those things that is hard to ignore.

I think the best thing to do would be to muster up your courage and go talk to him. I think he must not have realised that you can hear everything and are disturbed. SO i hope you go and talk to him.
And I want to share something funny that happened to my friend. He said the guy next door was blowing up his guitar everyday which pissed him off bad. One day it was over the limit so he went and screamed at the guy. The guy started crying He felt bad and went over to apologize the next day.
