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.
How is there always an xkcd for something?
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.
That’s a really good one.
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!
I knew someone once who salted insults into someone’s lawn. That shit never grows back either.
If its a house and its summer tonnes of birdseed in their yard, handfuls upon hand fulls. Then let the birds do the work.
Id theres a lot of feral cats in the neighbourhood a d they have a garden buy a shitload of catnip seeds and absolutely saturate their yard.
Come spring time its a nightly cat gangbang in their yard.
What would this achieve? Lots of birds? A bit of bird poo? I don’t think I’d even notice if someone did that to me
The neighbor i did it to his fence on the one side luckily not mine, the tree, the swing off the tree and the entire roof of his house was just covered in bird shit by the end of summer. I did have some friendly fire on my house but not to the point i had to get it professionally cleaned. Seen alot of beautiful birds around that summer, and i dont even remember what the sumbitch did to piss me off just enough.
Most homeowners I know would be very bothered having their entire house, yard, deck, and driveway covered in bird shit. It’s less effective if you live somewhere that gets regular rain, though.
Birds shit on everything anyway, no?
I’m in the UK so yeah, pretty much constant rain lol.
The bird seed affects the position of the birds see
It makes sense that the impact of this wouldn’t register as much with you, in that case.
Its effectiveness is very much relegated to specific geographical areas. :D
Spell something on the lawn in birdseed. Sure, birds this year. But next year the extra fertilizer will cause the grass to grow greener in that word.
It’s really the rats that would be the nuisance. Wherever bird seed is, rats aren’t far behind.
liquid ass
I use 3-4 bottles of that stuff per month
Yup, put a little old stink bomb under their door!
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.
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.
Pleas don’t bring innocent people around you into with that nonsense.
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
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.
Piss disc.

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!
The sunglasses prevented them from knowing. Also, they couldn’t tell how scared OP was. Oh, I’m not supposed to tell them that part?
Have you tried being louder? Maybe they can’t hear you over the loud music.
WHAT!?
