A GROUP of male TikTok and YouTube stars have reportedly been "wreaking havoc" in their wealthy Bel Air neighborhood.

The group, which The New York Times reports has been called the “One Direction of TikTok,” moved into the $10million “Sway LA” mansion in California in January.

The Times on Monday identified the men living in the house as Bryce Hall, 20; Jaden Hossler, 19; Josh Richards, 18; Quinton Griggs, 17; Anthony Reeves, 18; Kio Cyr, 19; and Griffin Johnson, 21.

Neighbors in the residential neighborhood have reported hearing loud music during late hours, hearing paintball shots — as well as chants of: “Chug! Chug! Chug!”

Locals have reportedly been filing noise complaints with police in Los Angeles after growing frustrated with the disturbances, which are also said to include late-night food deliveries and sidewalks pulled high with garbage.

Neighbors on the quiet residential avenue have reported loud music through the night, paintball shots and chants of 'chug, chug, chug', along with a constant stream of food delivery drivers and sidewalks piled high with trash, including a large smashed up TV.

Amit Runchal, a 40-year-old tech investment founder, and Mindy Acevedo, a 31-year-old law student at the University of California, Los Angeles, said they’ve struggled to work from home because of all the noise coming from the TikTok creators’ house.

“In the morning we hear paintball guns. I don’t think they sleep,” Acevedo said told the Times. “There’s a pool outside. Whenever they’re hanging out by the pool, the sound just carries.”

“We can hear them shouting, ‘Chug, chug, chug.’ I’ve heard someone throwing up at night outside.”

Several neighbors told the news outlet they want to fix things with members of the Sway House directly but have been concerned about repercussions.

“There’s an undercurrent of fear and intimidation both from all the stories in the media about people getting doxxed, swatted, harassed, especially if you’re a woman, which many of these neighbors are who are dealing with this stuff are,” Runchal said.

“With fans and actual people mistakenly showing up to our houses, there’s a virtual and a physical threat.”

Some neighbors did, however, say they felt bad about complaining about noisy people living nearby, given what else is happening in the world.

Two of those who live at the house plan on moving out into their own apartment, which neighbors said could be a sign of change.

“I feel bad when I’m like, ‘You don’t belong here,’” Acevedo said.

“But I wish they cared more about anything other than getting famous on the internet.”
