ULPT How to get rid of an annoying street musician ?

I live near a busy road with a lot of tall buildings and a park, so the acoustics of the place are pretty loud as is. For the past week some guy decided to become a street musician at the crosswalk right outside the parking lot of a store. He is playing a single chord progression on the saxophone for like 8 hours a day.

I work from home and are a student and have exams coming up, so pretty much i'm home almost the whole day. The music is blasting in my room and i hear it as the dude is playing 10 meters away from me. Same melody for 8 hours. How is this even possible ?

Yesterday i went to speak with him and told him that this is not a great place and even tried to convince him to go to play at another place because there are more people there. He agreed and went away. He is back today. It's a work day, there aren't any people passing by him even to give him money. Should i just hope that he doesn't like that fact and goes away? Should i call the cops? I'm out of ideas. If i throw something stinky there he will just move to the benches at the park, which is just as close to my window
