Please log in for more thread options Is their any type of generic remote control for home theatre and gaming all I need is volume and base control, but it has to have a strong signal.........We live in a condo and are having a problem with our next door neighbour....We work shifts and our neighbour likes to play games and music as well as movies on very high base. Our bed literally vibrates. When the jets are flying you would think their screaming over our complex, I've tried to be nice about this but it seems that he and his son couldn't care less if they are driving everyone nuts. Has anyone got any ideas we just want to mess with his head for a while. Maybe he will get the hint. Thanks for any comments!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options nuisance neighbour. Barring that, you'll have to figure out what kind of tv & stereo equipment the neighbours have. You'd have to be near their windows for it to be any effect...I highly doubt it would work through the walls. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

If the audio is being sent to a TV or home theatre setup then it's probably IR controlled. You'd have to find some way to send the IR signal to control it. If their equipment is in the line-of-sight to a window it could be as easy as just sending in a power off command to kill the amp. But they could just pull the blinds closed and block the signal. You'd have to find out what equipment is being used or you'd have to try one-by-one. Given you're not on the best terms with them you'd probably have to take the peeping tom route to see what's being used. Just don't get yourself into trouble in the process. If the speakers are attached to a PC then there's probably not way to do it. Also consider the condo association and the local police. Most communities have noise ordinances. Sure, it raises the bar on stress in the relationship but it's all about balance. You pay a mortgage and have a reasonable right to some peace. They likewise have a reasonable expectation to enjoy using their equipment. The trick is in finding balance. If they're unwilling to hold up their end of the equation then you're faced with little option other than to force the issue. As I once said to a problematic neighbor in a townhouse, "I can be a good neighbor, or I can be a VERY bad neighbor. Ligthen up or you'll find out just how BAD things can get..." Fortunately he recognized the value of striking a good balance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
