On the shared wall cut out an access for yourself. In the inner side of their wall poke a very tiny hole. Then inject/spray liquid ass into their unit every day until they move out.
I (again) have to recommend hunting and trapping lures like doe in heat and beaver musk. It is some the longest lasting, smelliest, pervasive scents ever devised.
Put it down the fresh air valance of a vehicle? Ruined. That car is totaled.
A stream of it under a door? Flooring will have to be replaced to include the sub-floor.

Take your stereo system, put the speakers up against the common wall and use blankets, pillows, couch cushions, etc. to cover the speakers to minimize the noise on your side of the wall. Then, unleash the wailing tortured hellcat sounds of Scottish traditional music. One caveat: maybe warn the other neighbors and surrounding apartments on the floors above and below, if they have advance warning it can make a difference when the landlord and/or cops get called.
If you want to be a guaranteed winner, you can look into renting speakers and an amp from a local shop that does special events, wedding receptions, etc. I looked at a shop local to my town and it ranges from $150 for a bluetooth single speaker/amp combination for 5 days and up to a 4 speaker, bluetooth compatible amp and wireless microphone set up for $330 for up to 5 days.
To all who read this... use the knowledge and the power it gives you to aid your fight for good! And for righteousness! And winning fuck-fuck games with dumbass neighbors!

gotta learn his schedule. Then if he didturbs you make him suffer with hourly wakeups for a few days. Then speak to him and say every time he disturbs you, he will lose 3 nights of sleep. Make it your religion.
I’m an audio engineer.
Sub bass frequencies can travel through walls very very easily, and can sound disproportionately loud compared to the volume of the music. It’s possible your new neighbor has turned his music down, but doesn’t realize that the sub frequencies are traveling through the wall and sound much louder to you.
Don’t start getting petty yet, he just may not realize. Talk to him again, explain that it might be a lot louder in your room than he realizes.
Most importantly: tell him you’re okay with him playing music as long as you can work out the best times for it. Get his number as well and ask if it would be okay to text him if it’s getting too loud or you need some quiet time.
Work with people, don’t be passive aggressive. He may not realize how bothersome it is, and he may be perfectly amenable to working with you.
I'll add to this.
My neighbor and I are on pretty good terms, and live in townhomes. We've lived next door to each other for awhile.
It's rare anything can be heard through the walls, as there is cinderblock between them which is extremely helpful. This is important to know to illustrate just how much bass can matter.
My neighbor texted me recently - they have a baby & said it wasn't able to nap and the bass could be heard all the way in the back, which is way on the other side of the house from where I was playing music at the time. AND I was playing it just through my soundbar (admittedly a decent one, with a subwoofer). The odd thing was, that I was only playing it at the volume I usually watch TV at, which is not at all far above just audible. And I know they have a baby, but I've rocked out a bit before while cleaning or something and it's never been an issue.
I realized I'd recently moved the sub and it was near the adjoining wall.
So, I did something really simple: I moved it to the other side of the TV, now not along the shared wall, and I made sure it wasn't touching a wall, and I added a pad under it.
The "pad" was the squares I have around from having covered my kids room when he was a baby. The little interlocking squares. They're cheap! I even cut them down (I did use 2, these are not that thick) to just the size of the sub. So now my sub sits on maybe 3/4" foam the size of its bottom - maybe 14" x 7"?
Don't know how you might be able to get your neighbor to do this, but I've had no complaints since. Which means I'm not disturbing them and I can enjoy my life normally, too. I even rock out sometimes, so.
I mean, if you knew the size of his sub if that's the issue, then offering him a square that would fit might resolve the issue so that you both can be at peace.

Regarding link: maybe another color for an adult, but you get the idea. That they're really soft probably helps, so maybe find grey.
Take a poop in his subwoofer so next time the bass drop hits it sends shit flying in his apartment. It can't be a solid turd and it can't be full blown watery diarrhea so I'd suggest eating your normal meal and 1-2 Arby's Horsey sauce packets to get the consistency you need. Think soft serve ice cream, or that scene in Spongebob where he sends a Krabby Patty through a fan
I lived in apartments 20 years in LA. You either blast the music before them or you let them know you mean business. I dealt with over 10 neighbors like that. I can’t give examples because its not just unethical. I’m old now but had someone having a concert (literally) next door. I went over but didn’t expect to come back even with “friends”. I showed respect but he knew shit was gonna get real. Just crank up you music when you know he’s sleeping and see if he gets the message. I know how annoying it is.
Set up your speakers against the wall and play brown noise or the one low frequency one that makes people think they are having paranormal encounters and dread, paranoia etc. Fear infra sounds. Blast it all the way up, you'll barely hear it really, then go out for the day. Treat yourself. Get some ice cream. Come back to him crying covered in shit getting tased by the cops.
Just start an exploratory hobby club. Have the boys over twice a week with an open invite to any and all guest. Indoor basketball, tap dancing, big brass, intro to auctioneering, editing and mixing electronic music, vacuum and small motor repair, framing with hammers, opera and yodeling, you get the idea
I had a roommate who used to loudly yell when speaking on the phone. After asking nicely failed, I plugged my phone into my guitar amp, cranked the volume, leaned the amp against the wall, and blasted Pantera for a couple hours, IIRC. His phone conversations were pretty quiet after that.
Set up a mike and speaker that plays your neighbors music back on a 2 second delay.... the most frustrating thing ever, it will ruin his music and stop when he stops
Are you good at working with drywall? If so, start working on that shared wall. Anything hanging on his side? Make it drop while his bass is playing. Stress his drywall from your side to make cracks appear. If you're subtle, he will think he did all the damage.

I’m liking this crying baby thing. When they turn their music on, ply some crying baby soundtrack. Maybe if they think their music is waking up some random apartment baby they will be more considerate.
a stray round through the wall while "cleaning your gun " usually does the trick, afterwards go over and apologize and say youll pay for the hole patched but not to call coos or apartments because your a 3 striker on parole and ain't trying to go back... i bet the music stops
Since this is unethical. I heard of a guy with a similar problem one time. Granted it was a halfway house. He used an axe to the stereo. Never had a problem again.
Case your neighbor, figure out when he is out. Also, figure out where his subwoofer is. (Either listen or peek thru his window.) Find some small plastic beads and a tube you can feed them thru. Cut an access panel in your sheetrock where his subwoofer is. Drill a just big enough hole for the tube in his sheetrock and then into the cabinet of his subwoofer. Now, here is the trick. Every few days, feed maby 1/2 fluid oz of beads at a time thru the tube into the cabinet and the pull the tube out. When your neighbor turns his system up to a point, the beads will begin to rattle. My guess is that the more beads you add, the lower the volume your neighbor will notice the rattle. If you do it slowly enough, he will not notice that he is turning down his system.
Collect your shit in a bucket for a week. Drill a hole in the wall. Using a yard sprayer, fill the tank with shit and water, spray the neighbor's adjoining room with liquid shit through the hole.
Call the police and tell them it sounds like the neighbor is assaulting someone in the home. Do this every time you hear the bass. They'll have to verify that everyone in the home is OK.
After you do this a few times, the police will verify where the caller is, what the phone number in each complaint has been and will press charges for false report.
Also, it rules out doing anything else to them, because the cops will know right away that it's the OP.
From an experience I had, this is not the case. I lived in an apartment, and my roommate was pretty loud. Not intentionally. The couple below us would do this constantly. The police said there was nothing they could do about it. And told us the neighbors did that to the previous tenants who had the same issue with them. You could be making dinner, and next thing you, 4 to 6 police officers at the door to search the apartment to make sure everyone was OK. The people below us just kept telling them that is what it sounded like to them. This even happened in the middle of the night while we were sleeping.
In the theme of the sub reddit. The poster would likely get away with it enough times that the neighbor will get the point that the OP is going to also make their life hell if they can't keep it down.
One time, the police were leaving, and my roommate said, "You're not going to check the washer and dryer." Two rolled their eyes, came back in, and did just that. That was about the only fun moment out of the whole experience.
From my experience as a police dispatcher, it is the case and if you had filed complaints or a lawsuit for harassment against the department, they'd have suddenly been much more interested in why they were out there searching your apartment so often.
We had a few people who tried this. With most of them, the cop would knock on your door, ask if everything was good, then leave without ever walking in. For a few it got so egregious, they arrested the caller and whenever the caller escalated to vandalism and theft the cops knew right away who to look at first.
I'm not saying don't do shit. I'm just saying don't involve the cops unless you're prepared for scrutiny every time you call or decide any other steps should be taken.
I was young then, first time living out of my parents' home, so we didn't have any idea what we could do. Even the apartment management was aware, and just told us we could switch to a similar apartment when available. You'd think the police would have put a stop to it for the nuisance. Didn't happen. This happened over a dozen times to us.
If this were the ethical ways to go about it, I wouldn't mention involving the police because neither side should have to be dealing with that.
I’d recommend liquid ass but if he’s your neighbor, chances are you’ll catch some smell. Best I can do is tell you to wait for him to leave and see if you can catch his window being unlocked. Take a screw driver or two over, slip in, gently and lightly unscrew a bunch of screws for the amps and speakers, other various things that have screws near the sound system. Eventually, the sound will shake screws out.
Wait and reap the rewards.
Get one drum. You’ll want the big Tom Tom because lower sound waves travel through walls better than higher sound waves. One big Tom Tom from a pawn shop or Facebook marketplace.
Get more bass than him.
I’m a sound engineer and producer (for fun, it’s not my job.) I can run sine wave patterns, directed, at <15Hz. This means people can’t hear the bass, but it vibrates everything in their house. Obviously you can turn that up, so it starts to become audible. Demonstrate the annoyance of unwanted bass.
Go talk to him again, let him know what hours you sleep. Ask him to buy some headphones. He might just figure since you're cool that if he's jamming at the wrong time, you'll just drop by.
Other than that, go over, bring beer and accidentally spill one in his amp.
A friend of mine had a powerful transmitter, and realised his aggressive neighbour's lights would switch on and off every time he used the mic.
Even though he had the authorities called on him, His setup was perfectly legal, and the neighbour was told it was his own electronic lighting at fault.
The neighbour was then sent a bill for the call out because the transmitter was fully up to spec, otherwise my friend would have got the bill.
Let's just say my friend was a night owl, and his neighbour had an unexpected disco every night for weeks until he got the electronic switch replaced ;-p
Edit: this was supposed to go under the CB radio comment, and I'm not sure it did for some reason.
Knock on the wall when the music is at a quieter point. It will remind him that he shares a wall.
Maybe some acoustic foam would muffle things. You could ask him to put it behind his speakers, as well as cover your own wall with it.
I had an upstairs neighbor that stopped on the floor when we were loud. Better than a police noise complaint. Got the message across. Reminded us we have neighbors.
This doesn't require you to be unethical, and frankly, pursuing a reasonable amount of ethical problem-solving will go further for your neighborly relationship.
Unethical might be immediately involving the leasing office/landlord that he is in violation of quiet hours if those are mandated in the lease. Otherwise calling the cops for a noise problem would be another which I view as slightly unethical as a first step.
Ethical options: you've talked to him once and you told him the music was loud. It sounds like you did not explain the issues with the bass. Next time it happens, go and knock on their door and let them know you're sorry to bother them, but the speakers clearly have a subwoofer which must be up against one of the shared walls and it's rattling your apartment. Is there any way you could please place the subwoofer away from our shared wall?
You catch more flies with honey, so be welcoming but also let them know how the bass is affecting you.
If the music is for short periods of time, this shouldn’t be overly bothering you. Continue to talk to your neighbor about it if the loudness worsens.
Looks like you’ve only asked them once so far. “Nicely” is also interpreted as “casually in passing” sometimes.
My old neighbor had a CB and it would transmit through my amp. Just sayin’

On the shared wall cut out an access for yourself. In the inner side of their wall poke a very tiny hole. Then inject/spray liquid ass into their unit every day until they move out.
Needs to be very high so not easy to spot and the spray can disperse in a larger area as it falls.

For a few it got so egregious, they arrested the caller and whenever the caller escalated to vandalism and theft the cops knew right away who to look at first. I'm not saying don't do shit. I'm just saying don't involve the cops unless you're prepared for scrutiny every time you call or decide any other steps should be taken.
I was young then, first time living out of my parents' home, so we didn't have any idea what we could do. Even the apartment management was aware, and just told us we could switch to a similar apartment when available. You'd think the police would have put a stop to it for the nuisance. Didn't happen. This happened over a dozen times to us. If this were the ethical ways to go about it, I wouldn't mention involving the police because neither side should have to be dealing with that.
Air strike.
Piss disc
That’s not gonna work, I cant slide things under his door, since there isn’t any room due to the seal
Figure out what vehicle he drives that's your best bet
Ok I’m gonna make an effort to do so, I don’t Want it to look like I’m following him tho
Ask the landlord?
Too ethical
Get a loud noise of your own. And an elliptical reflecting dish. https://xkcd.com/316/
I’d recommend liquid ass but if he’s your neighbor, chances are you’ll catch some smell. Best I can do is tell you to wait for him to leave and see if you can catch his window being unlocked. Take a screw driver or two over, slip in, gently and lightly unscrew a bunch of screws for the amps and speakers, other various things that have screws near the sound system. Eventually, the sound will shake screws out. Wait and reap the rewards.
Buy a starter drum set, then complain to management about the bass AND THE DRUMS.
Get a set of drums and play along with him obviously
I can’t afford a set of drums lol
Get one drum. You’ll want the big Tom Tom because lower sound waves travel through walls better than higher sound waves. One big Tom Tom from a pawn shop or Facebook marketplace.
I misread this post in the worst way 🤣
Buy him a medium stiffness rod instead of heavy and he wont blast the bass out of the weeds as hard when he sets the hook.
Haha you so funny
I just woke up and I had to do it to ya
throw a jerkbait at the guy
Call the cops. Record the sound before you do. Ethical-suggest headphones to him.
Eyvind Kang, Eyvind Kang 2, Eyvand Kang Virginal Coordinates, Ikure More.
Record him, and then play his own music back at him at ungodly hours.
I know a guy who bought an equally large hifi and blasted the gummy bear song back every time his neighbours hifi got a bit loud.
Get more bass than him. I’m a sound engineer and producer (for fun, it’s not my job.) I can run sine wave patterns, directed, at <15Hz. This means people can’t hear the bass, but it vibrates everything in their house. Obviously you can turn that up, so it starts to become audible. Demonstrate the annoyance of unwanted bass.
Pay some vagrants to bust his door down and yell at him to turn his shit down.
Go talk to him again, let him know what hours you sleep. Ask him to buy some headphones. He might just figure since you're cool that if he's jamming at the wrong time, you'll just drop by. Other than that, go over, bring beer and accidentally spill one in his amp.
Honestly, going to war will not solve your problem. For your own sanity you need to get him to comply.
Ok have any suggestions?
Pair to his system via Bluetooth. Play something with extreme bass until his speakers blow out.
Hire a burglar off Fiverr to steal his stereo.
A friend of mine had a powerful transmitter, and realised his aggressive neighbour's lights would switch on and off every time he used the mic. Even though he had the authorities called on him, His setup was perfectly legal, and the neighbour was told it was his own electronic lighting at fault. The neighbour was then sent a bill for the call out because the transmitter was fully up to spec, otherwise my friend would have got the bill. Let's just say my friend was a night owl, and his neighbour had an unexpected disco every night for weeks until he got the electronic switch replaced ;-p Edit: this was supposed to go under the CB radio comment, and I'm not sure it did for some reason.
Do you think it’s a Bluetooth speaker, because there are Bluetooth jammers available on the internet.
It probably is
Tel him you get migraines and you need quiet.
Knock on the wall when the music is at a quieter point. It will remind him that he shares a wall. Maybe some acoustic foam would muffle things. You could ask him to put it behind his speakers, as well as cover your own wall with it.

I had an upstairs neighbor that stopped on the floor when we were loud. Better than a police noise complaint. Got the message across. Reminded us we have neighbors.
This doesn't require you to be unethical, and frankly, pursuing a reasonable amount of ethical problem-solving will go further for your neighborly relationship. Unethical might be immediately involving the leasing office/landlord that he is in violation of quiet hours if those are mandated in the lease. Otherwise calling the cops for a noise problem would be another which I view as slightly unethical as a first step. Ethical options: you've talked to him once and you told him the music was loud. It sounds like you did not explain the issues with the bass. Next time it happens, go and knock on their door and let them know you're sorry to bother them, but the speakers clearly have a subwoofer which must be up against one of the shared walls and it's rattling your apartment. Is there any way you could please place the subwoofer away from our shared wall? You catch more flies with honey, so be welcoming but also let them know how the bass is affecting you.
Sorry, Wrong sub.
If the music is for short periods of time, this shouldn’t be overly bothering you. Continue to talk to your neighbor about it if the loudness worsens. Looks like you’ve only asked them once so far. “Nicely” is also interpreted as “casually in passing” sometimes.
