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.
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.
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!
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
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.

I use 3-4 bottles of that stuff per month

It's a typical old European terraced house (tall, thin with neighbours on each side)
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
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
Have you tried being louder? Maybe they can't hear you over the loud music.
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.
