Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

Noisy bar

What kind of legal action can I take in a town that has ''good ole boy rules'' against a 100 year old bar that try's to be a night club(Live bands,sound systems,ect.) and dictates when we can go to sleep.Example:my wife works full time and goes to school full time.A few weeks ago they had a sound system they started at about 9:00 pm.We called our officer and let hime know it was loud already.Twice we had to call him until he finally told us his only other option was to close the bar and he did not want to do that because they may come after his job.My wife ended up getting 2 hours of sleep before she went in to work a 12 hour shift.We've called the police several times but again he is only willing to do so much for fear of losing his job.
