I wouldn't agree with this.  Although I don't think it's necessarily
a good idea, I can see where one can easily be driven to this extreme.

I have two problems with this idea:  will the barrier absorb the
thump-thump-thump that dingbats of the genre described generally
emit by cranking the bass as well as the volume, and who is going
to pay for this sound barrier?  I find it hard to swallow that
there isn't more that can be done with inconsiderate folks like
this.  I know, life isn't fair...but everyone has certain
buttons.

I'm not condoning the practice of RF pollution to get even with
the neighbors, but question how to cost-effectively deal with the
*noise* pollution eminating from the neighbor's place.

I realize this discussion does fall outside the realm of electronics,
but perhaps that there's an electronic solution (or catalyst) that
could help solve the problem.
