The guys in the adjacent apartment have noisy all-night parties, and don’t invite me. So, I want to operate a soothing set of chimes, with an intensity to follow the boom-boom ebb & tide of their stereo. There are “shock sensor” transducers, that output a signal based on vibration, which goes to an amplifier. Hook that to an electromagnet, and have a small magnet on the flapper hangy-down-thingy (technical jargon) of a wind chime. Instant indoor ruckus-powered bliss. Adjust the sensitivity to your desired enlightenment level.

       I know someone who desperately needs this. Can you get it built in a jif?

       Yeah, but he's going to move soon.   

       "Ruckus-powered Bliss?" Heh.

       The Zen way is to not react to their all-night party and likewise, not restrain your noisy kids from getting up early and making lots of noise right outside their apartment.

       A Zen chainsaw? Mmmm.

"When you can take this Husqvarna from my hand, it will be time for you to leave."		   

       Ah, retaliation. These are all fine suggestions, but my special psychological paybacks drive the neighbors completely mad. Mad, I tell you.
This idea is instead about clearing the whole problem from one's mind, until all the other neighbors rise up and deal with it for me.
