Introducing my TallyWhacker. A new smart home device designed souly to piss off my upstairs neighbor.Look what I made! (v.redd.it)

I remember daydreaming about secretly installing a subwoofer on the roof above my upstairs neighbour, and a microphone on my ceiling. Every sound that travelled through his floor would get blasted out of the subwoofer above him, generating brutal sonic empathy. Ended up moving.

Reminds me of the time I was working in AV sales, one day we got a demo unit of this device that turns hard surfaces into speakers. We quickly attached a microphone to it, pressed it against the other side of the wall our service tech was working at and started whispering “Brian. Brian. Psst, hey Brian.” Haha totally freaked him out.

When I worked for a high-end audio manufacturer back in the day there was a car audio installation shop next door. They'd regularly have customers and themselves blasting bass in their parking lot while we were trying to run calibrations.
