Set up a mic and play back their own music after a delay, loud enough for them to hear. Don't open the door if they come.
This will be super effective, and also give you plausible deniability because it could just be an echo... just make sure that if they do turn it down, you turn down in response.
The real fun option is using the cb option above to have ‘god’ tell them to turn down their music by setting the frequency to a high enough level that you can speak through the cb every time they play music right into their speakers. You can also speak through their speakers when they’re off!
Or blow them all up.
Now this is the content I come to the Internet for.
Wait... Am I missing something here? I don't understand why a 10kHz wave would do anything to a pair of speakers at a distance.
Unless the speakers are actively playing the output of a radio themselves, it's not like 10kHz waves will randomly affect the membrane of an electrostatic speaker. The membrane vibrates by an electric signal, not by EM radiation.
Even then, I feel like radios don't just output whatever their antenna picks up raw. The electronics in radios tune to specific frequency bands and decode the underlying signal by means of FM or AM, and it is that underlying signal that gets played by the speakers.
So even a stronger encoded signal doesn't necessarily mean louder speaker volume. It would just mean a clearer, less-noisy song.
Powerful radio signals will cause interference in anything aerial-like that they pass through. Speaker cables would serve perfectly. For FM signals this would just sound like static or horrible nosie, but AM the interference will sound like a distorted version of the sound signal. Interference in the speaker cables will pass to the speakers... I guess this is the idea, but you'd need a very powerful radio transmitter which would almost certainly be illegal.
I didn't study the article but it sounds like the idea is that the AM amplifier will cause an induced current in the speaker. No idea if that's true or not though
You blast music right back, but not just any music. Blast Wannabe by the Spice Girls, but make it just a loop of the intro, like 10 hours of "So tell me what you want, what you really, really want I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want"
That is a difficult one. Maybe you can boost the volume when he sleeps? In that case he sees/feels what you’re experiencing. Just make sure your other neighbour doesn’t hear it.
Another thing you can do is create a device with a timer that hits the wall every now and then. I saw someone made it for his neighbour and it hit the wall about every 30 minutes so his neighbours couldn’t sleep..
The best way to get a (petty) revenge is by fucking with someones sleeping pattern. If done correctly you will bother him for the whole day!
Apartment or House?
It's a typical old European terraced house (tall, thin with neighbours on each side)
Like attached row housing or just really close together?
Like this kind of attached where the front door is on the pavement
Go on the roof and pour cement down their sewer vent

I use 3-4 bottles of that stuff per month

Yup, put a little old stink bomb under their door!
If its a house and its summer tonnes of birdseed in their yard, handfuls upon hand fulls. Then let the birds do the work.
Id theres a lot of feral cats in the neighbourhood a d they have a garden buy a shitload of catnip seeds and absolutely saturate their yard.
Come spring time its a nightly cat gangbang in their yard.
It's really the rats that would be the nuisance. Wherever bird seed is, rats aren't far behind.

Take them to court for excessive noise.
Start mowing your grass, leaf blowing, etc. first thing in the morning, as early as legally allowed, for hours. If he asks you to stop, just ignore him.
Pleas don’t bring innocent people around you into with that nonsense.
Research frequency that literally makes people feel ill, nausea... set up. Wear ear plugs and leave for a while.
No idea if this has ever worked.
I'm a sound engineer and I had awful neighbors. So I tried that to calm the monster of a kid my upstairs neighbors failed to raise.
I tried every pure frequencies from 12 000 kHz to 20 000 kHz with 1000 Hz steps at absurdly loud volumes.
The problem here was the air in our different apartments acting as an isolant, the material between our apartments, and the fact that this kid and his parents where deaf fucking morons.
In the end, the proper solution was to move. That worked as intended as I don't hear them anymore.
I'm sure this idea was very impractical.
If you live in the UK you should report the issue to your local council. You can use this link with your postcode (for anyone in the UK with a similar issue) https://www.gov.uk/report-noise-pollution-to-council
I knew someone once who salted insults into someone's lawn. That shit never grows back either.
I once had to tell the Indian couple above me to turn down their insanely loud Bollywood movie fest. When they came to the door the wave of noise that came out was like standing next to a speaker at a Motorhead show. I don't know how they could stand it. They did turn it down finally.
This is the same couple who, based on the noise, sounded like they would take all of their pots out of the cabinets every night and drop them on the floor followed by a bag of marbles. Every, damn, night.
Figure out which WiFi network is theirs, and then set up like 50 with the same name.
Pour your leftover chicken juice in any and all vents for their home. Heck, get a syringe and shoot it in their lock.
You can buy live spiders in bulk. Use your imagination with this one.
Cricket balls/bricks/Molotov cocktails through the windows
Thats just regular revenge.
Have you tried being louder? Maybe they can't hear you over the loud music.
WHAT!?
My favorite petty revenge for a lot of things is putting gel deodorant on people's car door handles.
What does that do? I mean besides getting gel deodorant on their hands?
Spam their phone. They won’t hear it.
Dedicate an hour a day to simply knocking at their door, until they answer it.
