My new noisy neighbor

My neighbor broke up with his wife. Now he's single, and suddenly becomes a horrible person. Right now he's playing music at 2 pm at the highest volume in his speakers, which turned out to be very powerful. I can understand that he's feeling sad after the breakup, but he's overacting and bothering the whole street.

Now he's single, and suddenly he has becomes a horrible person.

Or "suddenly he becomes a horrible person." The original didn't sound natural to me.

Right now he's playing music at 2 pm at the highest volume ion his speakers, which have turned out to be very powerful.

Or: "which are turning out to be very powerful." The simple perfect or present perfect are more appropriate because you are describing a present state.

I can understand that he's feeling sad after the breakup, but he's overreacting and bothering the whole street.

If someone "overacts," she is acting a role in an exaggerated, overly theatrical way. You are thinking of "overreact."
