We’ve tried the usual of calling police (three times), inviting them over to hear how loud it is (they agreed that it was very loud), asking to at least reduce the bass, blasting our own music (not sustainable) and so on. Sometimes it works for a day but inevitably it’s back to the usual.
Hoping for some petty revenge ideas to complement the other efforts.
Set up a mic and play back their own music after a delay, loud enough for them to hear. Don’t open the door if they come.
That’s a really good one.
The real fun option is using the cb option above to have ‘god’ tell them to turn down their music by setting the frequency to a high enough level that you can speak through the cb every time they play music right into their speakers. You can also speak through their speakers when they’re off!
Or blow them all up.
What an interesting article. From a purely academic standpoint, of course.
Wait… Am I missing something here? I don’t understand why a 10kHz wave would do anything to a pair of speakers at a distance.
Unless the speakers are actively playing the output of a radio themselves, it’s not like 10kHz waves will randomly affect the membrane of an electrostatic speaker. The membrane vibrates by an electric signal, not by EM radiation.
Even then, I feel like radios don’t just output whatever their antenna picks up raw. The electronics in radios tune to specific frequency bands and decode the underlying signal by means of FM or AM, and it is that underlying signal that gets played by the speakers.
So even a stronger encoded signal doesn’t necessarily mean louder speaker volume. It would just mean a clearer, less-noisy song.
I didn’t study the article but it sounds like the idea is that the AM amplifier will cause an induced current in the speaker. No idea if that’s true or not though
I was afraid that’s what it meant. I haven’t done Emag calculations since college but I feel like induction would only work at extremely close distances (as in centimeters) if at all, right?
All those induction experiments have multiple loops, tightly around the passing magnet for a reason since changes in the current is directly proportional to changes in the magnetic flux density (and only the ones normal to the surface area created by a closed loop).
And the closed loop created by the speaker and its source is a really irregular shape, designed to have a small cross-sectional area anyway. It all sounds kind of fishy.
This is great! I think all three have some potential
You blast music right back, but not just any music. Blast Wannabe by the Spice Girls, but make it just a loop of the intro, like 10 hours of “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want”
Start mowing your grass, leaf blowing, etc. first thing in the morning, as early as legally allowed, for hours. If he asks you to stop, just ignore him.
My sister had this problem. I’m not a tough guy but I parked my car outside their house and blasted Hooker with a Penis so loud it blew out my speakers. And stared at them uncomfortably. They ended up moving
Sure you did Buddy 🤣
I bet you that old ocular pat down scared the shit out of them!

Apartment or House?
It’s a typical old European terraced house (tall, thin with neighbours on each side)
Like attached row housing or just really close together?
Like this kind of attached where the front door is on the pavement
Go on the roof and pour cement down their sewer vent
If you live in the UK you should report the issue to your local council. You can use this link with your postcode (for anyone in the UK with a similar issue) https://www.gov.uk/report-noise-pollution-to-council
I once had to tell the Indian couple above me to turn down their insanely loud Bollywood movie fest. When they came to the door the wave of noise that came out was like standing next to a speaker at a Motorhead show. I don’t know how they could stand it. They did turn it down finally.
This is the same couple who, based on the noise, sounded like they would take all of their pots out of the cabinets every night and drop them on the floor followed by a bag of marbles. Every, damn, night.
Take them to court for excessive noise.
Figure out which WiFi network is theirs, and then set up like 50 with the same name.
Pour your leftover chicken juice in any and all vents for their home. Heck, get a syringe and shoot it in their lock.
You can buy live spiders in bulk. Use your imagination with this one.

My favorite petty revenge for a lot of things is putting gel deodorant on people’s car door handles.
You should try going in your house and watching TV. It’s a subtle revenge, but it’s the only one that will yield a result that doesn’t end with you red faced and embarrassed, Karen. if the cops didn’t step in it was probably during the day, and thus not a violation… The neighbor doesn’t have to answer his door just because you knock on it, and you can get fucked. take home lessons: 1. get fucked Karen. 2. don’t point cops at anything you don’t want to die you cretin. It’s dangerous dipshit.
- The police spoke with them regularly and it was always after midnight. 2. Not everyone lives in N America where you have the freedom to be killed by your police or a small child.
You’re the guy that talks in the theater, leaves popcorn and soda all over the seat, etc. We know who the dipshit is here.
Also. The cops don’t just kill pepper for no reason in most of the world. Sorry you live in such a shithole. But it’s not as universal as you hope.
And you’re the guy that calls dangerous thugs to your neighbors house because you don’t like his tunes. I’m sitting pretty in comparison. even if the made up bullshit you said were true. Don’t call cops to peoples homes asshole. You’re just causing trouble, and your lucky no one has died.
Cops aren’t dangerous thugs where I live. Maybe you should move. Not everywhere is like where you’re from. OP is in the UK. Police brutality in most places isn’t like it is in Florida.
every cop in every country is two things: 1. a thug who is willing to commit violent acts. 2. a dangerous authoritarian.
Find me data that says interacting with the police over a noise complaint in the UK takes more years off your life on average than not being able to sleep. Idiot
You’re just a wannabe social anarchist. It’s ok to do anything harmful to others, and there should never be recourse for the victim, right….
No one can be this stupid. Has to be trolling.
Lol. couldn’t get it all out in one go? I’ll give you a few more minutes to gather your thoughts, in case you think of something else witty you’d like to edit in. Try not to call your brute squad on a barking dog while you’re thinking.
It must be really scary for you in this world.
