An electric humming vibrator designed to upset neighbours operated for about a month inside New Zealand’s tallest apartment tower, sending 25 neighbours “just about insane” before it was discovered and disabled, a resident says.
Management of downtown Auckland’s The Pacifica sent a notice thanking people for their patience while matters were resolved but refused to talk to the Herald about it directly, citing privacy.
A photo of the device, which emitted humming vibrations, showed it jammed between two books and the top of an internal window, high up in the $300 million 57-level luxury apartment block. Further
What was the frequency, Kenneth?
I always wanted to design an RF device that broadcast or superimpose a disruptive, noisy signal to the airwaves when a neighbor played their stereo either too loud or played (c)rap music.
now have a new item I must have for the office warfare tool kit..,.😈
The guy was a real dick.
C’mon on up to San Fransicko. They got ones with kick-starters!
I’ve got my own version. It’s a pair of Hafler Pro-500 bridged to mono. An honest 800 watts into 8 ohms with .04% THD from 20Hz-20KHz hooked up to a pair of Speaker Lab 4s. That mf’er will vibrate the fillings out of your teeth.
Hafler Pro 500s were frequently used to power up Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre systems, a fantastic amplifier. The bastards tip the Toledo to damn near a hundred pounds. They were also used in recording studios back in the day.

A BIG BOX Came with the Vibrator.
JD – I used to visit Electrovoice in Tenn. for their instrumentation needs. They used to test Eliminators once a week on Wed as an agreement with the community. It was a listening test from a quarter mile away!!
I have a buddy whose neighbors have a half dozen barking mutts. Some kind of pit crosses. He got a drive shaft out of a Kenworth military vehicle, cut it off and sank the breech into a couple yards of concrete and has it pointed at their place a half mile away. He loads it with a ponied of FFG black powder and a wad of newspaper. Sets it off with an Estes rocket igniter and the shock wave about tips their mobile home off the blocks.
He used to work for a DOT and they used the same setup to trigger avalanches.
Loco, do you have a budget? I do shit like that.
Actually, that’s pretty impressive. I had no idea those things were built to be so durable.
I suppose it was an unavoidable click-bait title. 😏
Loco, I used to jam AM/FM radios for shits and giggles while at work. I’d tune an RF signal generator to the radio station’s frequency and modulate it with a noise source. String out a few feet of solder for an antenna and slowly start turning up the amplitude of the sig gen and watch as their radio would get noisier and noisier. You can amplify up to 1W and still be an experimental station. I could also jam the entire FM spectrum (locally) by rapidly sweeping the tracking generator on a spectrum analyzer connected to an RF amp.
I suppose I was thinking small, I should have designed an EMP.
A company I used to work in Texas for would hire a company that would bombard our electronics with various signals.
Sometimes our stuff would go nuts from the superimposed signals, fucking with the gain, etc.
Shielding helps, adjusting harmonics did too.
Still waiting for a chinese balloon to unload an EMP any day now…

Was hoping the neighbor was tumbling brass for reloads!
So why wouldn’t this also affect the guy who installed it?
