When the neighbors plays there TV to loud at 3am
Hydron:
I did enjoy the revenge stories, but any particular reason why the guy deserved the train noises etc? I'm assuming it's not due to ethnicity!
We have some neighbours with a habit of getting drunk and playing 80s/90s anthems loudly till the early morning, but if it's an issue banging on their door normally provides immediate results and an apology the next day - they're good people but just don't think before acting. I've been known to have loud hobbies too so can't be too pissy about things. On that note, I can recommend a decent sized tesla coil as a device capable of waking the dead (and any living neighbours in a fair radius) :P

Back in the CRT era we had a problem with next doors late night football parties....
Well the telly was in the living room by the fireplace and backing onto the party wall, so I just decided that if they were going to keep me up yelling about football, I was going to spend the time practising my 2AM stick welding, with the BIG welding set with the 30M arc cables.
Turns out that if you coil the arc cables up in about a 1.5m diameter coil and prop it up next to the fireplace, then run a bead @ 250A or so every time the noise ramps up you sometimes find the telly in the street the next day with a boot thru the screen, who knew?

There is a story about a guy using a TV-B-Gone on his neighbors. A week later there was a nice TV out on their curb for recycling >:D Apparently they thought it was defective and just bought a new one.

We ran a big neon sign transformer driven spark gap tesla coil for Halloween once (1) and discovered later that it was jamming TV, FM, AM, and even cable for a couple of blocks.
A couple hundred watts of 6 meter or sometimes 2 meter AM through a directional antenna does wonders to audio power amplifiers.
(1) Only once. It was so terrifying that kids would drop their candy and run crying down the street.
