Years ago I lived opposite a ten floor apartment building. On occasion some individuals would turn up their sound systems and make noise at midnight, etc. I did once yell across asking if they'd turn the volume down. Some clown turned it up.

On that occasion I took an old Marshall amp, full reverb, every dial as high as it could go. Plugged in the guitar after setting it on full treble and volume, played a few bars of a bad rock song, much like the Dr Hook solo in Cover of the Rolling Stone. Many apartment lights went on that morning near three AM. After that they were much more accommodating.

Don't get mad, get even!
