A friend says he jammed the stereo in the apartment above his, as 
follows:

He wound a few turns of heavily insulated wire around the perimeter of 
his living-room ceiling, and connected them in series with a spark gap 
and the secondary of a neon-sign transformer.  He says a few minutes 
of jamming would make the neighbors turn off their offensive loud 
stereo.  Perhaps they even made expensive and fruitless trips to the 
repair shop.
