Our next door neighbor has a kid who frequently turns up the car
stereo all the way. The bass is strong enough to make the windows
rattle. I wonder, will my hard drives be OK if the floor frequently
vibrates?

Time to apply the shotgun to the kid.

Throw the hard drive at him, and see if it still runs after it knocks
him out. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
