Is it feasible to capture and directionally pipe audio back to a rude neighbor? Seems like it could be effective.
Been around for awhile: https://www.holosonics.com
"a beam of directed ultrasound that delivers audio ten times more isolated "
ah, so this is what they used in embassy attacks
The details of the weapon still doesn't seem to be known, but probably just a matter of "when" those leak, seems to be the same as what was used in Venezuela (which Trump might confuse when he talks about it).

probably not the same company. It's a well–documented phenomenon.
Obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/316/
I lived in an apartment with extremely thin floors. One night I needed to move the bed 5 inches away from the wall at 3am. In my room it made almost no noise and took 1 second. But, the next morning the woman below came up and complained.
I told her I heard her masturbating often and would just put my headphones on and check in 20 minutes. She said she didn't do that. I said "well, maybe you're listening to porn. All I know is I hear something".
She moved out the next day.
Oh I had one of those neighbors too, but I don't even count them in my bad noisy neighbors list.
