I'd also add that is a two way street. If it is legal to do such things where you live, might I recommend the musical stylings of GWAR and the Sony MDRZX110NC n

I was going to suggest finding the exact same music as the neighbor and playing it out of sync.

    What happens when you stick a microphone + noise-cancelling DSP to some powerful speakers (positioned to act as a point-source) instead of into headphones, anyway? I'm guessing there'd a node where everything sounds perfectly quiet... and then everywhere else, it would just sound like two overlapping copies of the sound with a lot of weird dropped-out frequencies (which themselves would change over time.)

  Wow, I was not aware that any of Taco the Wonder Dog's stuff was still floating around on the internet. Is that channel related?

  I actually enjoyed the song. The article mentions training the military to withstand torture by listening to Throbbing Gristle and Diamanda Galas which happen to be 2 of my favorites to code to so I guess I have a high sonic threshold for torture.

  That's actually not that bad. I can actually listen to it. Maybe some "To Live and Shave In L.A" will do the trick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPtQI-KMvOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPtQI-KMvOc

  Well the name does stand for God What an Awful Racket so I thought it fitting. Plus its what Dave Brockie would of wanted.

One could also use a parabolic dish or beamforming array to more precisely direct the "counter-attack". (Not that that's a constructive way to deal with the problem. Just a techincally interesting one.)

  I wonder where that would stand legally? If you did something that specifically directed it to the neighbor while minimizing it elsewhere it would be really hard to make a colorable claim that you were actually playing the music for your own enjoyment and that it is loud at your neighbor's is just a side effect. I'd be worried that this would greatly increase the risk that your actions could be found to be some kind of harassment.

    Position it so you sit right at the edge of the beam. Say you were controlling volume by leaning into/out of the beam. Plausible deniability.

  >beamforming array to more precisely direct the "counter-attack". you can just use it to "noise-cancel" in your apartment without "attack" component. After all they start to use active cancellation to decrease turbo-props noise for the passengers.
