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.
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”
I knew someone once who salted insults into someone’s lawn. That shit never grows back either.
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
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.
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.
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.
Take them to court for excessive noise.

My favorite petty revenge for a lot of things is putting gel deodorant on people’s car door handles.
What does that do? I mean besides getting gel deodorant on their hands?
Nothing, just makes their hands gross.
That’s why it’s petty revenge.
Okay then, I like this idea.
There is some upside based on context though. For example, if I’m in a parking lot and I gel the door handles of some asshole with a truck that took up four parking spaces, chances are they understand why it happened, so there’s that.
Research frequency that literally makes people feel ill, nausea… set up. Wear ear plugs and leave for a while.
No idea if this has ever worked.
I’m a sound engineer and I had awful neighbors. So I tried that to calm the monster of a kid my upstairs neighbors failed to raise.
I tried every pure frequencies from 12 000 kHz to 20 000 kHz with 1000 Hz steps at absurdly loud volumes.
The problem here was the air in our different apartments acting as an isolant, the material between our apartments, and the fact that this kid and his parents where deaf fucking morons.
In the end, the proper solution was to move. That worked as intended as I don’t hear them anymore.
I’m sure this idea was very impractical.
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!
Spam their phone. They won’t hear it.
Piss disc.
