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.
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.
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.
Powerful radio signals will cause interference in anything aerial-like that they pass through. Speaker cables would serve perfectly. For FM signals this would just sound like static or horrible nosie, but AM the interference will sound like a distorted version of the sound signal. Interference in the speaker cables will pass to the speakers… I guess this is the idea, but you’d need a very powerful radio transmitter which would almost certainly be illegal.
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”
That is a difficult one. Maybe you can boost the volume when he sleeps? In that case he sees/feels what you’re experiencing. Just make sure your other neighbour doesn’t hear it.
Another thing you can do is create a device with a timer that hits the wall every now and then. I saw someone made it for his neighbour and it hit the wall about every 30 minutes so his neighbours couldn’t sleep…
The best way to get a (petty) revenge is by fucking with someones sleeping pattern. If done correctly you will bother him for the whole day!
