Noisy neighbors are the worst.

What would you do if you had a neighbor who threw loud parties at night and didn’t even change his ways when you called the police to report the noise?

In today’s story, one man knows exactly how to deal with this kind of situation!

One dad takes a neighbor’s noise and wields it into a message he’ll never forget.

How to shut a party down for good.

So my dad is an old amateur radio guy (ham operator), and when I was about 13-14, my family was living in a duplex while our new house was being built.

We had decent neighbors on the other half of the duplex, but every time they went away for the weekend (often), their 18-20 year old son would host these huge parties, and did not give 2 cares about noise complaints.

We would call the cops; they would come, turn it down, but the music would get turned up right away when they left.

But one night was different…

One night, it was getting especially out of hand, and the cops never came to deal with it.

Late into the night, my dad gets up, pulls an old radio of his out of the storage closet(all his gear was packed up since he didn’t have the room for it or his 60-foot antenna tower in this little duplex).

He pulls about 20 feet of unshielded wire off a roll and starts running it out the back of his radio, along the wall, up about 5 feet, back down, across the wall some more, up again, and back down…

…he knew where the tower speakers were located on the other side of the wall from having coffee the neighbors.

This dad had the ultimate plan.

He keys up the mic, and we could hear the click come through the wall.

He then shouts “TURN THAT DOWN,” into the mic, and it came back through the wall louder than I could hear his voice while standing next to him, and about half of “down” is replaced with a loud “whump” noise followed by silence.

Cooked the amplifier for their stereo, skipped right past any protection circuits inside it.

My dad had an ear-to-ear grin before we had [the terrible] son pounding on our door.

My dad opened the door and this kid starts throwing punches immediately.

Obviously, the police were called — and this time, they arrived quickly!

Called the cops again, now with an assault report, and suddenly they show up in minutes.

My dad didn’t press charges, but the cops made him apologize, and when his parents got home they made their son pay for the stereo.

That was the last party he ever had.

Does Reddit think this stereo hack is genius? Let’s read the comments below to find out.

One Redditor was hoping for jail time.

Another reader knew someone with a similar skill.

Another likened the dad’s voice to the big G-o-d.

Hopefully, this son got the message on neighborly etiquette loud and clear.
