One of these may suit your purposes:

To illustrate to youngsters that CM isn't devoid of cojones, I usually play:

Ginastera's SQ2: V: Furioso (a.k.a. IV: Finale Furioso of his Concierto para
Cuerdas)
Holst: Planets: Mars (Wm Steinberg & Boston SO version)
Shostakovich's 8th Symphony: 2nd movement
Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta: IV Allegro molto.

To get even for harm done to one's sleep, I'd recommend vexatious pieces
by:  Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Schnittke, and Zdenek Lukas

But to get the sleep you seem to be wanting, I'd try to reach some truce
about a suitable time to shut down the noise.
