Interfering with noisy neighbour's music

Would this method work if he was just using his hifi to play a

Smith & Wesson has the answer to your problem.

I was going to go this route a few years back;
suggest you get a tranciever..
Powerful helps..
make a wierd tape,
put it on a tape loop
pump it into the transciever.
put the antenna Under or near where you think his hi fi is
Turn the transciever & tape on,

it'll be picked up by his amp or whatever..
& blast out his speakers,
ruining his music..

I had a Ham radio operator in the Apt next to mine, & when I'd be listening to
music it'd be interrupted with

" BREAKER BREAKER ! ! ! "- & obnoxious one way broadcasts

You could make a tape of Noxious commercials
Music that he hates
( Classical is very useful for driving Rap fans nuts )

Keep a log of this stuff if you can.
Noise cancelling earphones, help some..

If all else fails, build an interior room in which to sleep...

Unless the loud music only comes from the radio, a radio attack won't be
much help. It should be easy enough to figure when he wants to sleep. Put
some speakers outside and play what annoying stuff you have. "TV Set" by
the Cramps, on an endless loop, would be a good choice.

This is exactly what my OM did in a similar situation. He played his music
(which was radically different than the neighbor's preference) very loud at
a time that would disturb the neighbor. When the neighbor asked why, he
explained why and the neighbor kept it down after that.

I can guarantee that a HAM would not be transmitting BREAKER BREAKER.

A few years ago, my neighbors has a damn little yappy dog. I was working
nights, and they'd leave their damn little yappy dog outside almost every
day. YAP! YAP! YAP! Anything would set that dog off. I complained a few
times, and the neighbors were apologetic and kept their damn little yappy
dog inside. For a few days. Then they'd leave him out for longer and
longer periods of time. In a couple of weeks he'd be out all day again.
YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP! I wanted to record the dog and start a long playing
tape around midnight. He'd be yapping at himself till dawn. Maybe
ultrasonics would set that dog off even better. I never got around to it.
I've since moved, although the move had nothing to do with the dog.

Just an FYI, Amateur Radio (Ham) operators don't ever say "BREAKER
BREAKER ! ! !" and can't (legally) make one-way broadcasts, obnoxious or
otherwise.
You must have had a CB'er neighbor :-).

The way CBers using power mikes and linears were dealt with was to stick a pin
through their antennas' coax feeds.

As crappy as much consumer electronics is made, probably a tone-modulated ham
or CB rig with 100 watts or so might get into the guy's gear and demodulate
somewhere, if there's such a thing as a high gain stage in solid state audio
stuff. Back in the old tube days...

So Bill K5BY, did you ever really 'pin' a CBers "coax feed" or do you
know someone who did or are you simply waving your dick around trying to
make yurself look like a real anti-CB honcho?
I suspect the latter.

You have spammed several groups with this nonsense.. I suggest you purchase

A cb radio ought to work too. You could read the Declaration of
Independance, and the Constitution :) I remember being in church one time
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.

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.

Wrong, OM. I'd only heard, from other CBers, of it being done. You see, I was
pro CB. I even remember my CB call, KBM5321, back when they were issued.

Before I organized a ham emergency organization, the Clear Lake Emergency
Amateur Radio Service, in the late 1970s, I organized a CB group, the Emergency
Communications Network, in the early 1970s. Only one other ham/CBer would join
the group. Later on, my ham group and that CB group worked together. Some of
the CBers became hams -- and CLEARS members -- because of my attitude.

Besides my 2M rig in the car, I have a CB rig for backup -- to the 2M rig, that
is. My primary radio these days is a cell phone.

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

If the home is up to code, cutting the neutral wire at the pole won't do
much.. since the neutral and ground are common at the service entrance.. as
long as they have a ground, the split phase will stay split, although the
voltage may go down on either end due to losses..

Hello People,

You're probably right. He's just glad none of us are his neighbors.

But I doubt anybody else's noisy neighbor would appreciate all these tips,

I had a neighbor in an adjacent apartment whose stereo turned out to be
amazingly sensitive to a 5 Watt UHF radio. Total separation between radio
and their setup was about 20 feet. You may need more power or a close
antenna.

Ah well... most of his music seems to come from CD, so that's no
good. Think I'll have to try to fight fire with fire then.
Either that or build an EMP device :)

Thanks all




Peter Gottlieb September 26th 03 06:28 PM

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.
