Be aware that they are scum, and you are not. You are above and beyond them. They are your pets, not the other way around.

They are trivial. You are the boss. You … are the boss.

They torment you, because they know just how much better you are than them.

Why else would they attack you ?

They can’t hurt you physically, but I know how hard it is when they get too intense.
If you need to, you can always dial 911 or go to your local ER.
If you don’t think you need that level of extra care, please call your outpatient psych doctor and ask to be seen right away.
Are you taking your meds? If you already are, remember you have to take them as directed. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Limit your caffeine intake too.
Maybe you can ask your doc for a med adjustment or even change meds.
Your best bet is to find the most effective meds for treating your symptoms. Working on the voices would be the first step. Antipsychotic meds are your first line of defense.

When people take LSD and freak out over it in an intense manner, usually they know deep down they have control, somewhat. They play music they like (instrumentals are better), they look at pictures of cats, they go to a comforting room. With schizophrenia it’s really no different so long as you have insight. Obviously since you are posting on this forum and saying what you are saying, you have insight that these are not real. Take control as much as you can, do what you can to comfort yourself. If you have anyone trusted to call, call them. If things deteriorate, you know the hospital or a help line is there. I really hope the voices stop soon, and that you feel better. My sympathies.

Try to keep your mind busy. Maybe watch a movie, hang out friends, do some chores, or anything that will keep your brain busy.

My neighbors won’t stop. This is three years. I hope they go up on rent because I want to ■■■■■■■ move.

can you still hear them with headphones playing music?

If so, maybe you were right and they’re just voices messing with you. Voices can be handled
