Right before you leave for work, put on "Moon River" on the turntable, set to repeat ad infinitum, playing at maximum volume with the speakers right up against the wall.

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

You could always ask them to turn their music down like a mature adult rather than acting like a spiteful jackass.

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..

maturity is boring. i find bitterness and anger kinda exciting, theres a brutal honesty to it. hence keep playing the music, and fucking loud too

Schrei X sure is a powerful weapon, Dave S 's right about that.

...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.

It's a music war smart bomb and lays waste to allcomers! The great thing about it, if you have good speakers (if not, don't play it too loud, it'll blow your tweeters), is that it's got no bass at all but cuts through any other sound. Put the speakers on the window ledge facing outward, open the window, crank your amp, press play and you're away: ear-bursting, blood-curdling screaming that's quite enough to have most people begging for mercy within minutes...

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!

whitehouse, preferably one of the screamy ones. "you don't have to say please" would be bound to go down a treat.

Musical wars with neighbours = MASSIVE DUD = no one wins.

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.

My neighbors HATED "My New House" by the Fall. (So you can see what twats they were.) So that was often the record of choice.

Oh you can win... the police never do anything either

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 16 June 2003 10:58 (twenty years ago) link

Hey, I've had a neighbour kicked out of the flat for violating noise agreements, so don't knock it till you've tried it. (That was more because the landlord was so scared of me calling the police.)

― kate (kate), Monday, 16 June 2003 11:00 (twenty years ago) link

Really!? That would be great - it's one of the main resons I'm moving right now: my neighbours are total bumhammers kate... you have no idea...

"Oh you can win..."

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!

The joy of having a large record collection is that, no matter how antisocial/unpleasant the noise meted out by neighbours, I usually have something far, far more repellent...

I didn't say that you can't win, I said it was a No Win Situation. You've proved you're the bigger asshat, but you've also destroyed yer relations with yer neighbour, you've made it into an adversarial contest and you pave the way for future confrontations and escalations over future problems. It is better to open a dialogue right at the beginning.

But hey, whatever, I understand it's much more FUN to talk about blasting yer neighbours with Metal Machine Music.
