A man who was outraged at being woken up by loud music blaring from his neighbour after midnight stormed round to the property in a foul mood and threatened to smash the windows.
Bad-tempered Chad Scarah, 21, ignored attempts being made by the woman making the noise to calm him down and hurled a drinking glass at one of the windows.
Hull Crown Court heard how he threatened to attack her son and "smash his face in" and warned her that "this is just the start" as all the windows would be broken.
Hull Live reports that Scarah, of Hull, admitted to causing criminal damage on April 21.
Prosecutor, Bede Porter, said that a woman who lived near Scarah, and had known him for a number of years, returned home at about midnight after a night out with friends.
Two of her friends went back to the house with her and they put loud music on the TV.
"Upon playing the music, Scarah could be heard shouting from next door," said Mr Porter. Scarah went round to complain and the woman turned the music down and invited him to join them to talk about the matter. She said that his children could stay over.
"He ignored the offer and threatened to smash all the windows," said Mr Porter. She repeated her offer that he could come in and that his children could go there and sleep over.
Scarah ignored that and threatened to attack her son and to smash his face in.
He shouted: "I'll f***ing do them all." He went back to his own home, got a drinking glass and returned. He warned the neighbour: "This is just the start as all the windows are going in."
He threw the glass at a lower window, causing a hole and the rest of the glass in the pane to shatter. The drinking glass also shattered around the garden.
"Scarah's girlfriend dragged him inside," said Mr Porter. "Inside, he could be heard banging on the walls and shouting." The woman alerted the police and officers arrived at 12.52am. He was taken to Clough Road police station.
Unemployed Scarah was in breach of a 16-week suspended prison sentence. His previous convictions included offences of harassment, breaching a restraining order, affray, criminal damage, driving while disqualified and having no insurance.
Cathy Kioko-Gilligan, mitigating, said that Scarah behaved appallingly and with immaturity. He and his girlfriend, with two children aged six and three, were asleep in bed when they were suddenly awoken by the music.
"He could have dealt with the situation better," said Miss Kioko-Gilligan. "It reflects his immaturity and his immature years. He can see where he has made mistakes."
Recorder Megan Rhys said: "His record is, quite frankly, appalling."
Sentence was deferred until November 7 so Scarah can prove that he can keep out of trouble, cooperate with the probation service, continue seeking help for his problems and save up money for compensation.
He was warned that he faces prison if he commits more offences and breaches the terms of the deferred sentence.
