						<p>Billionaire &#8220;bond king&#8221; <strong>Bill Gross</strong> reportedly blasted music at his nemesis neighbor so loudly that it covered up the sound of nearby highway traffic.</p>
<p>Cops who visited the retired investing guru&#8217;s waterfront California mansion described the alleged aural assault on his neighbor, Mark Towfiq, during a Monday court hearing in the pair&#8217;s <strong>legal battle over a sculpture Gross installed outside</strong>, news reports say.</p>
<p>The Laguna Beach police officers reportedly corroborated Towfiq&#8217;s account of being tormented with music blaring from Gross&#8217;s home at all hours, allegations he made in a lawsuit last month.</p>
<p>Officer Ashley Krotine said she heard &#8220;loud Spanish music&#8221; emanating from the PIMCO founder&#8217;s property when she responded to a complaint there on the morning of Oct. 22, <strong>according to Bloomberg News</strong>.</p>
<p>When a lawyer for Gross asked if the tunes were louder than the nearby Pacific Coast Highway, Krotine replied, &#8220;Yes, louder than PCH,&#8221; the news service reported.</p>
<p>Another cop, Wade Kraus, said he heard the theme song to the sitcom &#8220;Gilligan&#8217;s Island&#8221; blasting from Gross&#8217;s house on a visit to the house late on the night of Aug. 1, <strong>the Laguna Beach Independent reported</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Based on my personal opinion and training as a police officer that level of noise at that time was unreasonable,&#8221; Kraus testified, according to the local outlet.</p>
<p>The bitter feud reportedly started when Towfiq, a tech entrepreneur, complained to local authorities about a net Gross had hung over the glass art piece in front of his home. Gross, 76, started blaring the music to press Towfiq to drop the complaint, <strong>the Los Angeles Times reported</strong> last month.</p>
<p>Towfiq sued Gross and his girlfriend, Amy Schwartz, over the loud noises last month, but the couple filed their own lawsuit accusing the neighbor of &#8220;peeping tom behaviors&#8221; such as installing cameras aimed at their property, reports say.</p>
