    Invite them out 'hunting' and shoot the fuck out of them by 'accident' like.
    Now go away.

    Then complain about other things.

    That's actually a very good suggestion.

    Find a friend with a stupidly loud sound system in his car, get him to park outside the house and blare his music for a few hours. Trust me man, theres nothing more annoying than 1000 watts of sub woofer power at 2am.

    No need in punishing the entire neighborhood in lieu of revenge on one neighbor.

    There's a million things you can complain about.
    Neglect of animals.
    Litter.
    Urinating on your daffodils.
    Google FTW. 'Neighbour complaints'
    Now go away.

    Well, obviously it would need to be something that can be proven (which none of the above can be).

This isn't at a volume where I can just slightly hear it, but often so loud that if done early enough, it will wake me from sleeping even though it's coming from the opposite side of the apartment. So loud that even turning on the TV or my own radio doesn't drown it out. So loud that I can understand the lyrics of what they're listening to.

    I've been over there on several occasions and requested that the music be turned down. Sometimes they'll turn it down a notch or two but never to a satisfactory level, and the conversation comes with a healthy dose of attitude. At this point, they know it bothers me (and others?) but obviously don't care.

    Numerous complaints to apartment manager have done nothing. I've been told flat out that they will not evict anyone based on noise complaints alone.

    What's left to do? This has been going on for at least a year now.

    I've given the Anarchist's Cookbook a quick read and don't see anything relative in there.

    I've considered going outside and unplugging their power meter to disconnect their power and possibly taking the meter with me. That would put them out of commission for at least a day or so, but would not want to be caught doing that.

    Also, since the office has already informed me that they will not evict tenants for noise violations, I've considered buying a cheap stereo receiver and large speaker to put against out shared wall and crank it up every day when I leave for work.

    Any ideas on battling these irritants?
    1. Call the cops. They do address noise complaints (at least in the DC area they do).

    or

    2. Go buy a house ffs. The market is frigging shit for sellers and the fed cut interest rates to 3% so you should be able to manage the 5% you'd most likely get from a lender.

    Low cost house plus low rate mortgage = means buy now, toopid
