A cb radio ought to work too. You could read the Declaration of
Independance, and the Constitution ![]() when a CB'er cranke dup his set. It came across the amplifier system as pretty as you please g. Interuption of the power supply is also useful. "JMBCV" wrote in message et... I have a neighbour who drives me beserk by playing loud music at all hours and just shouts abuse when I ask him to stop. I'm currently going through the long and tedious route of complaining to the local Environmental Health people but that doesn't stop the noise in the meantime. I found an old post on Google which claimed that a shortwave transceiver and a power amplifier could be used to create interference, distorting the neighbour's music so he turns it off. It sounds very tempting. Would this method work if he was just using his hifi to play a CD? I'm not sure if it's supposed to work by interfering with his speakers or his radio reception. Thanks in advance for any comments |

This worked for a friend of mine with a bass-
heavy rap music lover for a neighbor. My friend lived in a apartment building that had a common utility room where all the circuit breaker panels were. When the offending neighbor started to crank the bass and become obnoxious, he would sneak to the panel, and trip the breaker in the neighbor's breaker panel on a prominent heavy bass note. He would then sneak around the building and back to his apartment, unseen. After playing this cat and mouse game for a few weeks, "bass-man" figured out his stereo was tripping the breaker and learned how far he could turn it up before it crapped out. |

Really simple solution....go to the power pole, get out a set of garden
shears and cut ONLY the neutral wire to the house, sit back and watch the fireworks display as things that should get 120 volts get about 20 and things that should get 120 get about 200. The refridgerator motor will stall and the stereo should erupt in a ball of fire ![]() You see...household wiring is 2 phase..thats two legs of 120 and a common neutral return. When you cut it the loads unballance, putting some things like heavy items (fridge) and light items (stereo) in series across 240 volts.....SPECTACTULAR! One minor problem...CAN result in multiple fires...use with caution....Eddie "JMBCV" wrote in message et...

Agreed. Trying something like this could indeed cause a fire. Fires have
been caused by open neutrals. If you do this, and a fire results, there *will* be a criminal investigation and you could end up in prison for arson/attempted murder. If someone gets hurt or killed, including firemen, the investigation will likely be "aggressive." Add to this civil liabilities, plus the large chance redundant paths will render your "modification" moot, and this seems like a really poor choice. "RHF" wrote in message m...
