My neighbor is the only guy I know who can party with a jellyfish to loud blaring techno music...for 18 hours! The noise is so strong that my house is crumbling from it, and when I kindly ask them to shut up the jellyfish just stings me.

Cut up his pineapple house and serve it as hors d'oeuvres at a luau. With everyone eating his house, he'll have to find another home and he'll move away.

"Kindly" seems an exercise in futility! What you can do depends on--#1. If you rent, is there a landlord or management company you can refer this to? #2. Whatever you do, don't use "self help" (even though it's sometimes tempting)! I own my condo, & tenants recently moved in next door who play the same thing over & over, a bass drum beat that makes things fall off the wall, & reverberates in my very bones from four rooms away. I tried 2 nice notes--nothing. They just DON'T CARE. My first choice is a letter from the managment company, & if that doesn't work, I'll send a certified letter to the owner. So, if you can appeal to the owner (I assume you live in an apartment complex) or if there's a manager, that's the best way. I've fantisized how I'll beat the floor with a hammer for a few hours, but would NEVER do that. Is there any way you can tape the noise? I haven't made but one complaint in 13 years (domestic abuse upstairs) so this one should be credible. I HOPE. Remember, "hostility" w/a a neighbor can create all sorts of horrid vengeful consequences, so approach this in as civil a way as possible. Other tenants are NOT allowed to do anything that disturbs your "peace of mind." The president of the HOA suggested I call the cops. Ho ho ho. Next thing, my car would be keyed. Use the best resources you have--& I do wish you luck!
Edit: Just looked at answers. Whatever you do, consider the consequences. That doesn't mean you have to be a "wimp," but be prepared for acts of revenge unless you tread carefully, but purposefully. The cops aren't the best option; think this one out!

If asking this guy to stop being so loud didn't work, then I suggest calling the police during one of his loud episodes. Also invest in a good pair of ear plugs and a box fan. I know that I cannot hear a thunderstorm when I have my fan on.
The last resort should be contacting the landlord.
Good luck.

Did you watch the jellyfish jam epidode? At about 18 hours the jellyfish and pongebob have a fight about going to bed. You should't hear much of them anymore.
If this was real life, you'd be taking him to the police station for disturbance of peace.

You can file a complaint with the landlord and also when it's loud like that call the cops. It's disturbing the peace and he'll turn it down or get arrested. File enough complaints and he's going to jail. I have an inconsiderate neighbor too that claims to be deaf so he HAS to have the volumn on his giant plasma TV loud enough to knock my pictures off my wall!! I complained to the landlord for all the good it did. His opinion was that I was paranoid because I was in the military and the man wasn't antagonizing me on purpose. CAN WE SAY USE CLOSED CAPTIONING!!! He's not deaf he's a jerk. I did a bit of problem solving and now I have my stereo system where it should be and when he gets that tv volumn going I get my stereo volumn going and that tv volumn goes down! Dude is in his 60's and doesn't care for Disco.

If you are renting, contact the landlord, then call the police. There are laws regarding excessive noise (disturbing the peace).
If you own your home, skip step one. Since you're tried to asking him to be quiet, just call the cops, over and over and over again. He'll get the idea if he's met with Mr. Officer every night.

I have the same problem in my flat. It's not only the music, but the TV and sex with his girlfriend. I haven't figured out the solution yet, but I'm thinking about calling the police. Do you live in London? You can fill out an anti-social behaviour incident report .

We had the same problem with our neighbours, we called the police and told them we couldn't hear our own TV in the day time our pictures were falling off our walls and if they didn't do something about it quick they have a murder on there hands... cause they were driving us mad! The police came and the neighbour assaulted the officer and ended up in jail !!! Whoo Hoo our neighbourhood is quiet again!
Good Luck with your neighbour Hope you can enjoy sleeping again really soon!

Whatever you do, don't play your clarinet through an amplifier with the speakers pointed at your neighbor's house. Otherwise, you're likely to upset the whole hive and they'll come after you.

Tell him that its opposite day! Then, he will be the opposite of Spongebob...which is Squidward. Wait...I just watched that episode, and it didn't work out so well. Maybe you should just convince Mr. Krabs to send him on a really long vacation!
