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.

This will be super effective, and also give you plausible deniability because it could just be an echo... just make sure that if they do turn it down, you turn down in response.

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.

Now this is the content I come to the Internet for.

Dedicate an hour a day to simply knocking at their door, until they answer it.

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"

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

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 use 3-4 bottles of that stuff per month
