[sci.electronics] How do cause RFI on purpose?

toppin@melpar.UUCP (Doug Toppin X2075) (03/19/90)

I have an unusual request, I have a neighbor that plays his
stereo too loud and I get tired of asking him to turn it down.  I
would like to be able to either interfere with his signal or
cause noise at the speakers themselves so he will move the stereo
away from the wall and preferable into another room.  I have
never heard of a reliable way to do this across about 2-ft of
wall.  If anyone knows of something simple and inexpensive please
post or drop me a line.

thanks

Don't.  The unlicensed tranmission of any signals strong enough to do what
you want is illegal, and might also interfere with other listeners or users
of other legitimate radio services.  How would you like to be the person 
waiting for an ambulance - when said ambulance can't hear the call due to
your interference?

If you neighbor won't respond to a simple verbal request, complain to someone
else - the apartment manager, if you're in a rental situation, or to the
police if separate homes.  That's what these folks are there for, after all.
