You have to prove that the landlord has failed to provide you with the "quiet enjoyment" of the apartment. If you can document and prove to the satisfaction of the court that the noise prevents you from sleeping or living happily in the premises, then the court should terminate the lease and you may be able to collect damages as well. You have to take action, go to the nearest Justice Court to get the forms and see a copy of the AZ Landlord Tenant Act.
