Loud flatmate

[ozzi3]

Hi im new to this site but i thought id come here as a last resort. I share a flat with my friends but my next door neighbour is a annoying he always has music blasting and although my system can outpower his i really dont want to make more noise than there is. is there a way i can delete all his music or control his music player via lan? as we are on a network and i have the router in my room also someone told me i should buy magnets and put them on his speakers will that blow them because if it does what magnets should i get. any comments welcome

Don't know much about this but I can tell you thant magnets on the speakers will not do anything as speakers are driven by magnets.
I once had a noisy neighbour (years ago) and it got so bad that even asking him to turn it down had no effect. So I got a old AM/fm CB radio and simply cued it over his music. This stopped the music as his speakers acted like an aeriel and they made an awful sound (and wiped out tv's). Soon as I let go the mic all tv's returned and the music disappeared for a while but it did have an effect. This may sound an odd solution but it worked for me.

oh thanks im sure you know how i feel now i just want to teach this guy a lesson il try and get one of those radios and do that. so did you have to be near to do this? and what if the music is coming from an amplifier because thats how his system is connected

In my case he was next door (terraced house) so an original cb radio (I think it was an AM sort) connected an aeriel to it which simply learned up the wall (don't touch it when the mic is cued) and that was enough to give him an awful feedback type of noise., over his speakers. As I said the speaker leads if they are not sheilded (normal hi fi ones are not) then they act as an aeriel. You sometimes get simular effects over your hi fi when a taxi or mobile phone goes by at close range. A CB radio of old could very easily wipe a few tv's off when the mic was cued. Oh the happy days of CB radio!

Good luck
