Bass you say?
This has been what I've used to knock the dust off my Sub when required.
On a big system it's bowel quaking, esspecially on vinyl rarther than compressed MP3/stream that keeps all the sub-bass intact.
Apologies if they have been suggested before, pages take ages to load when populated by video links. May I respectfully suggest Black One by Sunno))), Swarth by Portal or Hatred For Mankind by Dragged Into Sunlight. Speakers against their walls or if they're above you somehow up to your ceiling. Turn UP. Walk away and thank me later.
@hatter - Love Ed Solo and Deekline etc. Some great Jungle Cakes mixes online and from Boomtown
If you have a good subwoofer - try the following.
Screeches, beeps and bleeps to annoy and then at 2.20, little bit of bass 😀
Genuinely rattled the walls of my mates house back in the day, or rather the 15" sub we hatched onto a car battery and a 600W amp did, before it went in my car.
Or a nice bit of proper sub bass (please be careful 😀 )

And my fave, that I still play in the car at nearly 50, and make my passengers feel sick.

Why stop at one track? Treat them to a whole album:
The opener sets the tone. Though if you go down the one song route Big Black's L Dopa is only 1.40min so they'll get to know it by heart.
This on repeat should do it. Loud gets the subsonic bass at the start really going
Have suffered in the past with noisy neighbours and it is indeed frustrating.
One suggestion I've never tried but know of people who have is called the secret speaker trick. Get an old speaker of 30-40W from an old stereo. Prise the cone off but make sure the diaphragm below and the cardboard tube that moves up and down stays intact. Glue something metal on top of this tube. Place speaker somewhere in your property that is quiet but directly below their bedroom or lounge- a cupboard or back room is ideal - by screwing or propping it up against the ceiling, preferably below a joist. The metal you have glued on should be tight against the ceiling, causing the cardboard tube the move down back into the speaker, this will ensure it doesn't slap against the ceiling but put all of the energy up through the ceiling. Wire it up to a stereo and play whatever music you choose at just below the distortion level of the speaker. The sound will travel up into the rooms above. If the neighbour comes down to complain you can safely answer the door and feign ignorance as there will be very little noise in your property, you can use your TV to cover the small amount of volume that the speaker will produce. You could even say that you can hear a feint noise but can't figure out where it's coming from to really throw them off the scent.
I think the idea came from those pocket speakers you used to be able to buy that when placed on a table or other hard surface would make them turn into a crappy speaker.
If your going to do something like the above, I'd simply take the speaker out of the cabinet and attach something to the cone to bash the whatever with.
Removing the cone as above will probably just destroy the speaker really quickly as the voice coil will have little on no guidance and short on the former - basically it will wobble itself to bits or just short out and blow up.
@DougD - i was just about to post the same 😀
When i was a stoodent in the late '90s our non-stoodent neighbours used to put the same irritating RnB song on very loud about 5am ... on repeat and leave it running when they went to work.
Now, i remember thinking 'fair play' to them, but also that if they had knocked on the door sometime and explained to us what dicks we must have been, that we would have at least tried not to be such dicks.
@DezB - I’ve just been listening to that Clipping track through my headphones via my iPad, I’m gonna have to get that album now! I really like what I’m hearing, thanks for posting it. 😎
How about some nice noise music, Pharmakon perhaps? Good low end, lots of high frequency noise and tortured vocals. They will love it
Not tonight, you're not on the list
Don't do it, old people have an even greater capacity for retribution and bitterness than your good self, learned over decades of pissing people off. Plus they are clearly naturist swingers, and that could get unpleasant.
But if you must:
When I was at uni there was always one bastard that would put on Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size. Shit never ended. If they put it on twice you honestly never noticed unless you checked your watch. (gabba would make me lose it as well, I somehow tripped over Technohead the other week, it wasn't a pleasant memory)
However if they prefer classical music you could give Apocalyptica a bash. Hall of the Mountain King is a good start.
did someone say bass?
Some fine, fine suggestions above, but if youre looking to bulk out a play list to leave on while you go to the shops here's my current go-to
