So my downstairs neighbors are loud, inconsiderate, and obnoxious. The noise from their parties has been keeping me up way past my bedtime, just when I need my beauty sleep. A man needs his sleep, particularly after staying up until 3am to watch the new episode of Game of Thrones.

But sleep is an elusive, fickle mistress once my neighbors get going. I've tried everything: Begging. Shouting. Ear plugs. Noise cancelling headphones. Prayer.

There's only one strategy left. You know what I'm talking about. It's called revenge. Cold, sweet revenge.

I'm not going to lie - if I win a Raspberry Pi I'm going to use it to turn my subwoofer into the ultimate revenge machine.

Ingredients:

1) Raspberry Pi

2) Arduino Uno

3) Old, monstrous Logitech subwoofer

4) Complete Metallica discography

I think you can see where I’m headed with this.

First, set up that beautiful little Pi with something light and open source – Ubuntu, perhaps. Load her up with my beloved Metallica albums, starting with the most grungy and face-melting songs.

Next, my subwoofer. It was part of an old Logitech speaker set - the speakers died a long time ago, and the subwoofer remains as 500-watt relic of the magical times we spent together. Rest well, my sweet Logitech Z-5500s – never fear that your oversized and power-sucking bass will still be put to good use long after your humble but poetic tweeters served their final ballad. :’(

Of course, that subwoofer consumes far too much energy, which is where the Arduino comes in. Write a simple program to control the power to the sub from the Arduino, and connect the sub to the Pi. Install a media player (or just use XMBC) and set up the Metallica playlist. Set the EQ to pump everything it has into the low frequencies to get that sub working its venerable electronics.

Now, the timing: After a hard night of partying, my neighbors are at their most vulnerable at around 8am on a Sunday morning. From my research I’ve concluded that this is the time when the ringing in their ears is at its loudest, the churning in their stomachs at its most unbearable, at the need for sleep is at its peak. Perfect.

Using a Cron job in Ubuntu, start that puppy up at exactly 8am – I’m thinking we begin with “Seek and Destroy” off the album “Kill ‘Em All”, perhaps ending at 2pm with a little “For Whom the Bell Tolls” off “Ride the Lightning” for its particularly penetrating, hypnotic bass to wrap things up.

Easy.

The hardest part will be restraining myself from giggling like a schoolgirl when I hear the agonized groans emanating from the stairwell.

Look forward to sending you the pics!
