Totally expected him to blast the neighbours with Justin Bieber

It would be better to play extremely loud white noise or ringing every time the sensor picks up a loud noise. There shouldn't be a 10 second waiting time, it should be as instant as it can be, that way it will also turn off as their music turns off. They would never be able to listen to a song again

#2 true, but as he said, he doesnt want to make it instant, because, what if the neighbour accidentally hits the wall?

actually, the best "anti-loud-neighbour" device is old damaged electric-motor ( rc car motor will do ), it will create interference ( irritating high pitch buzzing sound ) with any cd-player, tv set, radio...

well and then there are the next neighbors disturbed...

how about the good old "turn down the music or I will break your finger methode"
works fine for me everytime

on the other hand...
this device should turn on when the music from the neigbor stops, so that he can hear it...
doesnt make much sense to play the music if he doesnt hear it cuz his own music is much louder...

just my two cents

now how can i build one myself? i have the same problem here...
the only diffrence i want is that i dont want to stop at all.... if they play loud for 3 hours then my music will play 3hours....

oh, noisy neighbors...let's make a contest to see who has the loudest speaker so we can make silence after that.

Time to start manufacturing and selling.

Turn the volume down or you wont hear the neighbors smashing through your door with a bass guitar at hand...ffs are nerds getting revenge these days?

#1 in the same spirit : I've always dreamt playing "Dragostea din tei" at max volume to kill the 2.30am party behind the wall (did you know this song ?)

What an idiot why not have it set to turn it on and of at exactly the same time they turn theirs on and off so they get real confused , what a waste of a arduino

if you blast them with sex moaning noises it'll actually shut them up

"But yeah, it works, so that s cool."

Umm.. it doesnt work. They didnt stop playing their music.
Chances are, the neighbors cannot even hear his attempts at revenge.

lol, who uses CD player these days?

What a knob. First of all you could just ask them to lower the volume. Secondly if you're not home who cares if they play loud music? and finally if you've gone through that much trouble you could have set up a noise cancelling system..

grrr. why would you mind them playing music while you are not at home?
I mean when I listen to music I DO consider my neighbours and actually do it when they are not at home.

Now, one would never be able to listen to music then? Not a great solution.

Simply another "who's got the biggest one" contest. I can see many reasons to tell that thing is really stupid...
- If you are actually staying at your place while your neighbors are making noise, you will be even more annoyed by your own music (same CD over and over again) after a while
- What's the point of this device if there is no one at your home?
- Completely useless unless you have only ONE neighbor. What if this place has has many "geek" tenants like him, at every floor?
- Not to say about the energy waste!

Wish I had that when I was living in the apartments !

I used to do that but much simplier: "I'm going home" by ten years after. Max sound set CD-player on repeat and went to do some shopping. Within a few days they moved; problem solved.

who let the dogs out ain't annoying music, I love that song

The annoying music is my cellphone ringtone... I thought someone was calling me... LOL !!

He's just a sad gay wimp who's not man enough to go next door and ask them to turn it down.

He's never gonna get invited to a party.

He reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory!

He's a pain in the arse and will probably be wearing a baseball bat pretty soon. He won't hear anything then 'cos of all the bandages.
He doesn't seem to consider whoever lives on the other side of him either, blasting that shit song out for everyone to hear.
Probably some old age pensioner trying to nap.
Arsehole.

I had a problem with my neighbour that was in the house next door ,after asking him politely many times , one day i decided to go next door under his house and pulled the fuse on the electric board that runs his power sockets, today he only has lights/gas ,it has been nice and quiet ever since

big looser

Aren't you doubling the annoyance when add your own loud music?

The neighbour has the same device set up and isn't at home.

I'd like to build one. Any interest in putting the circuit diagram and parts list on instructables or elsewhere online?
Thanks!

I would just like to amp their noise back at them.
So please send me info on how I can build one. Thank you.

Great video! I want to know how to build my own. Wicked Tinkers music would be just annoying enough to do the trick! Muwahahahaaaa!

Hate my noisy neighbors, they're so stupid. I would appreciate some on how to get my hands on some good noise cancelling system. I need to deal with neighbors downstairs.
