Tried blasting classical music at 6 AM to drown out my neighbor's bass and now he's complaining to the landlord about "weird vibes" coming through the wall
After 3 straight mornings of his subwoofer rattling my kitchen cabinets, I set up my old boombox on the shared wall and played Vivaldi's Four Seasons at max volume for 45 minutes, and the property manager actually called me saying he got a noise complaint about "aggressive orchestral sounds" - has anyone else fought fire with fire and just ended up more frustrated?

Did you actually tell the property manager it was classical music, or did you just let him assume it was something weirder? Cause "aggressive orchestral sounds" makes me wonder if you were blasting some intense Vivaldi or if your boombox was on the fritz... like, was it crackling and distorting? My old neighbor once retaliated with bagpipe music but he recorded it on a phone so it just sounded like screaming cats.

Oh come on @jenny_coleman, classical music is the worst weapon because it actually sounds good.

My coworker was telling me about this article she read where people in some European city were using classical music to actually make public spaces feel safer. (Or maybe it was to keep loiterers away, I forget the exact point.) But yeah, it's funny how something that sounds beautiful to most of us can be used as a weapon, especially if you're not in the mood for it. Bagpipes on a crackly phone though, that's a whole other level of retaliatory audio torture, yikes.
