Default Noisy neighbor

I have a neighbor who frequently has something in their apt. that vibrates very loudly.

This often times goes on for hours.

I want to be able to let my manager hear the sound.

I tried recording it with my Samsung s5, but it's microphone is not much better than 2 cans connected with a string.

Unless I can manually boost the sound in the sound file?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

You are dealing with a lot of things here. Like your neighbor,
relationships, compassion, empathy...

Have you tried talking with him/her? I had the same deal with a cute
young thing in a San Diego apartment. Turns out the idiots that
delivered her washer/dryer didn't take out the shipping blocks, so the
thing transmitted the slightest vibration to the building instead of
the isolating springs.

I had another neighbor in the hinterlands of North Carolina with a
loud Stereo. No amount of reason/pleading was getting through. I
finally got a hatchet (Swedish steel and a work of art IMO) and
chopped his 200 amp power line.

I didn't suffer any recourse but there were a lot of threats from the
police and power company - and I did some damage to my favorite axe.
(and wear safety glasses!)

Plan B: be twice as obnoxious. Stay at a motel. Keep the stereo on
or just build a 8 hertz organ pipe to rattle the walls while you are
gone.

But, trust me, an ounce of palaver and empathy is much better than a
lot of vengeance. But, in the last analysis, vengeance works, but you
have to have balls and be committed..

I have no intention of vengeance.

I am sympathetic with others.

I may talk with them or put a note on their door.

But I sometimes worry that they may retaliate.

admirable qualities...

Unfortunately there are people that take that for weakness and will
use it as a license to do as they please. By all means talk it can be
that they are just unaware of the problem they are causing.
