Friendly Neighborly Relations

[Difdi]

So we recently had new neighbors move in. And....loud bass vibrating my walls. Oh joy.

There's something you can do about that. It's not nice, mind you.

Get a parabolic microphone and aim it at the loud neighbor's apartment. There's a type of speaker you can get, relatively new and very high tech that basically does for sound what lasers do for light. Connect them together and aim the speaker at the neighbor's apartment. Amplifier optional.

Result: Your neighbor will blast himself off the face of the planet sonically, and only he will be able to hear it.

Wouldn't that just make a lot of howling feedback?

Or is that the point?

Our upstairs neighbors are back x_x After nearly a month of peace and quiet... Nice people, but they have NO rugs or anything in their unit and I don't think they realize how sound/vibrations carry in an older building. Area rugs would solve most of the problem, although there's some sort of uber-bass surround-sound setup in the living room...someone plays a lot of FPS games on that thing.

The toddler in the bedroom directly above mine has decided that I should wake up at 6AM -_-

Sounds like they were prudes who felt that sex should be done quietly in the dark.

now that I remember back from that time.

Apparently the Husband talked to my Ex several weeks later and sort of apologized for his wife calling the cops that nights. She (the wife) was pissed that my Ex was getting some and he was laughing at her getting pissed off at us having a physical interlude and he (the husband) was not in the "mood that night". The wife just kept getting more pissed off and finally called the cops.

Yes. Yes it would. But it would be in direct proportion to how loud the guy's music is, and only the guy it's aimed at would be able to hear any of it. One of the neat things about those coherent sound speakers, their upper output limit is well above the point that windows get blown in.

Oh ... my ... gods ... REALLY???

Damn. Now I wish I had a reason to move back into the apartment! I've heard that the guy decided to quit drinking so it's been quieter, but heck, I'd be happy to ruin his days and nights regardless!

So nobody above him, or below him, would be bothered by this??

Ugh, if my activities are being interrupted due to inconsiderate people in other apartments, then you can be damn sure the superintendent's activities are going to be interrupted by ME to force him to do his job. And calling him back each time it happened. (Or calling the police after calling him).

Problem was, all you'd get was his cellphone answering service. And the cops just said, "Call your super." And even if they had decided to show up, a noise complaint was going to be pretty low on their "To Do" list.

I've always been amazed that nobody above or below him seemed to complain.
