**** knows why they make so much noise.
Old retired couple.
Before they moved in their daughter lived there. We called her Stompy as you could hear every bloody footstep. Then her fella moved in and we were woken every Saturday morning by the sound of their bed knocking against the wall. She finally got pregnant and the Saturday morning thing stopped. She still stomped about everywhere. Baby came along and they moved out only for her folks to move in.
Nosey Tuesdays they are. Quick to complain if anyone has left their shoes outside the door or any other "infringement".
Now they baby sit for the grandchild, who unfortunately takes after its mother and stomps about the place. Oh, and there's the online dance class they do each Thursday night. Thought the ceiling was going to cave in last week.
The thuds from above cause a bassy sound for us. Can barely sit and read in the lounge due to the noise.
**** I hate living in a flat.
So, back in topic... What bassy tones can I play whilst I'm out (or in)...? A constant bass.
Turned up to 11. 😆
Low Frequency Oscillations?
gets particularly stompy around 1:40... mad shit at 3:00 😀
Dooms Night and/or Flat Eric on repeat....?
Dead Prez - Hip Hop
Do they have a garden? (some non-ground floor flats do)
Is there a local purveyor of sausages of the frozen variety?
Do you have a hammer?
Failing that General Noriegas playlist may help.

When you're out.
On loop.
On 11.
No more needed
There's usually a curb your enthusiasm scene for every occasion...
Sounds like this calls for Leftfield and "Rythm and stealth"
Banger of an album!
I'd hit em with some Duke - the aural equivalent of being waterboarded
As mentioned in the headphones thread, Moderat II - Bad Kingdom and then Therapy. Put those two on loop.
Move. Forget the cost. Just do it. I was in same position except it was a "dj" who came back from a night out and played music from 2am until 7am with his mates. Nightmare.
Feel for the OP used to have an awful neighbour upstairs at my last house. had 2 kids their house was the party house so a Tuesday 2am party was pretty normal. Thankfully im a very heavy sleeper but the few times i did complain apparently I was in the wrong for suggesting they keep it down.
Her crowning achievement was leaving her iron in the "cupboard" (aka the shower in the spareroom) which fell over turning the shower on meaning we had 2 days with no lights while we let everything dry out.
If I was you I would be reaching for some early grime, they will love it.
Don't underestimate the synth either that could make some noice high pitched noises for them.
Last time I needed to do this I played the opening of Clipping's new album, I cranked the volume and the noise it made bloody frightened me! (It worked though)
Must say, much as I used to love Portishead, our old next door neighbour used to play nothing else but their first album and the noise coming through the wall as irritating as hell.
The clipping track is the start here. Needs good speakers
My little desk speakers don't seem to be doing this justice.
What Horatio said....asap! Been there (but not in a flat) and it's really not good for mental health.
Anything by Digital Mystikz/DMZ or their solo stuff. If you have some decent subs then it will shake your house down. If you don't then you won't hear it because it is very low frequency.

That's certainly the plan, but unfortunately there are a few hurdles I need to jump before doing so.
So in the meantime my plan is passive aggressive pettiness.
The couple have a strange thing of leaving shitty magazines in the entrance hall, either thinking someone else might be interested in them or take it out to the paper bin. German versions of Hello and Caravan and Camping Club type stuff. I've been making a point of dumping the whole pile in the bin for everyone to see for a while now. However last week I found some anti-corona lockdown pamphlets in the park. I've laid them on top of the new magazine bundle in the hope that the rest of the residents think that they are corona loonies.... 😁
No real suggestion other than to say this approach worked for me after 6 months fruitlessly asking our neighbour to stop their dog endlessly barking.
Solution, every time it barked I put Ibiza club classics on, turned it upto 11 and went for a run. Only took a week then peace was restored.
People like that aren’t bothered by noise. Anything you do will just make you look like an idiot.

Ministry of Sound vol II...?
The South Koreans played Gangnam style on repeat through a PA system across the border for days apparently
Should be as annoying for anyone witj functioning ear drums
Ooh, yeah classic dubstep! And Bar9 - haven't heard that kind of thing for a while.
How about Debasser from a similar time
bit of Benga

Search YouTube for Industrial Strength Records, should be a good starting point
I like this game

Obviously that’s an invitation to swing.
You want bass?
Loadsa bass?
How about DOUBLE the amount of bass?!

Imagine this coming through the walls... if the hi-hat doesn't get you..
I’m with baboonz on this, the volume required for them to even notice will be ‘considerable’
Move house.
The most annoying and persistent?
Likewise if you’re happy to be responsible for committing this crime on someone then on your head be it...
Obviously that’s an invitation to swing.

After spending 12 hours in a Warehouse somewhere in North London around the mid 90s at a gabber free party I think its safe to say this is good advice given your requirements.
After a night of that even the noise from driving over cats eyes on the way home sounded melodic by comparison.
Konflict's Messiah, it's s slow starter but gets there
Aw, Let me hear you shake in your boots, come back to the old school back to your roots
John B up all night

TBH, the few times I've done it, it usually left me feeling like an idiot (at best) too, and certainly no better off. Obviously my mistake was to stay in while said loud music was playing rather than going out.
What about this on loop for several hours
There are some proper tunes on this thread. My contribution:
