I prefer to achieve both goals by slapping one of the discs I cited above on the stereo, and putting it on perpetual re-play (for the neighbors' torment) and then going out to get drunk.

has communication been tried before escalation?

when i was staying at a friends place in vancouver her upstairs neighbour would mercylessly crank polka all the time. loud – really loud. i thought it was hilarious, but she hated it and would counter with noise albums. but nothing worked – i never minded tho, it's one thing to be woken up by you neighbours awful music, it's another to wake-up laughing your ass off to your neighbours polka.

So, doom-e, crank out some Puerto Rican shit and you'll do just fine.

make that Morrissey's 10 minute cover of "Moon River," and we've got a winner!

Well, Matthew, I have - but see, they don't answer the door because they know it's a neighbour.
Playing electronic concept orchestra works as well..

...and it's the weapon I may have to use m'self one day, for the recently-moved-in shitheads next door are occasionally too fond of blasting their Korn and Linkin Park regardless of the hour.

Well, then. That's understandable!
But what about your *other* neighbors? Why punish them for the crimes of this jackass?
Ethics and fun aren't mutually exclusive!

The only policy which works is to try and talk to them, and establish guidelines of hours during which neither of you will play loud music. Make sure you notify them in writing, and keep a copy. If they violate this agreement, call the police.

Darned right!
Irritating neighbour with weedy little domestic stereo playing Nevermind on repeat at 7:00AM every Sunday morning for 3 or 4 weeks in a row, despite me asking him not to extremely nicely (well, I was nice the first time!) vs. me eventually retaliating with 500W PA system = neighbour very rapidly getting the point and never doing it again!
