Barking at the moon.
I am going to scream! All I hear is bass...
*thump thump thump*
*rumble rumble*
I have 2 exams this week!
Please God, make him stop!
The last neighbor was from New York and always had his TV on loud ..
*thump thump*
I thanked you, Lord, when he moved out. But now this guy is even worse!
*rumble*
Why me!! Do I deserve this?
Not to mention, the guy is a freaking pig!
No, seriously. He's a cop. How do I tell a cop to shut the fuck up?
I've banged on the wall. I've yelled.
Maybe if I just put on headphones.
*rumble rumble rumble*
Screw that.
I'm going over there.
I'm not dealing with this. This is going change.
*thud thump thud*
Right now.
 
... I use earprotectors. You can buy them in a hobbycenter. Backgroundmusic makes 10x less noice than a vacuumcleaner (multimedia university engineer books)
best wishes,

I experienced this exact situation many years before when some obnoxious college kids moved into the apartment above mine. At first, I just knocked on the door whenever I was trying to sleep at 10:00PM. Then they would do it in the day. I requested that they turn it down. The thumping subsided "a little". MY SOLUTION: I borrowed my friends 350Watt Subwoofer (he likes very heavy rock) and connected it to my $10,000 stereo system. I turned off the main speakers, put my ear plugs in my ears, put Madonna's "Vogue" CD single in my CD player, and I cranked it as loud as I could without damaging the subwoofer. Now, I didn't just crank it up loudly, I also put the subwoofer at a 45 degree angle with the floor and the wall and I placed some really heavy weights on the subwoofer to get GOOD SOLID CONTACT WITH THE WALL. When I went out into the hallway, the only thing you could HEAR and FEEL was.....THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. The little dears above me quickly realized what was going on and promptly stopped the music because everyone else in the apartment building had complained about them as well. Sometimes I would do it unprovoked at night or the daytime, just for revenge. Eventually they were evicted, probably with a little help from me.

Low frequency sound can be very difficult to localize because it travels through most solid objects very well. High frequencies just bounce all over the place, but high amplitude low frequency bass just keeps going and going and going. As I mentioned before when I went into the apartment hallway, you couldn't tell where the thumping was originating from as it was all around you, but everyone "knew" who was to blame.

One of the few proud moments in my life. Revenge is sweet, but Geek revenge is sweeter. Beat them at their own game.

You can call the police too... I bet it wouldn't be of any help though, they know who lives there. And we all know they protect their own.
 
so c_geek, is there where you got the idea to type back at neyo using his own style? :D

scot - i would recommend talking to him at his doorstep first a few times. then try c_geek's idea!!;)

or maybe a variation of it - get a police scanner and crank it up. I am sure that work is the last thing he wants to hear at home!! plus he can hardly hate you for paying so much attention to his line of work:p :D
 
I agree with chem geek. Possibly your speakers should get turned around torwards the wall by "mistake." Of he comes over all angry tell him that someone must have broken in and turned them around.:D
 
We went over and talked to him, he was cool about it and we haven't heard much the past day and a half. Hopefully the problem's solved. Like I thought, his music wasn't really up that loud, it was just the bass speaker was right up against our wall (which our sofa is against) and it just thumped on through.
