Hi,
I have a problem bigger than myself, I can't solve it, I need your help!
I am actually a person who likes to sleep at night and be awake at day. But I live in an appartment building with a lot of young people who go to college and university and stuff, but it is in the middle of the city. In the summer they like to throw parties which produce obnoxious noise which prevents me to sleep.
edit: to be clear, there are like 50 appartments in this building, the parties are not held in my own appartment. Allthough I appreciate any input, filing a complaint does not help, cause it is a different appartment which does the party each time.
So I need a way to kill parties.
Rules and setting:
1) The parties are held in the livingroom/kitchen which I can easily access during the party.
2) I don't want to offend legal boundaries too much in the sence of me going to jail or smt (so I won't throw a molotov cocktail into the crowd unless someone comes up with a way that I cant be identified later)
3) The people at the party are drunk and dumb. I am still clearheaded.
The methods I came up with (not tested yet) are:
- cutting the chords to / from the amplifier
- create a short-circuit. Mind these party goers should be drunk and dump at the time, I aim at them not being able to fix it during the night.
Anyone has any other ideas?

discuss with your flatmates?
move out?

What a party pooper.
On a serious note, the best you can do is to file a noise complaint. Make sure you make it serious enough that the apartment security goes and shuts the party down if need be. They will find another place to continue their party. We always do. ^_^
Or you can just join them!

your flatmates will love you for this. your days will be as enjoyable as your nights right now.

Get some earplugs. Really, if you're living in a house filled with college kids, the chances of you stopping all their partying is nonexistant.
But yea, like Gliche said, file a complaint. If there's any regulations the other tenants are breaking that you can use to slow the kids down a bit, go for it. The threat of getting kicked out should at least give you a little peace.

Agreed.
Why the fuck would you even consider doing this? 'I need my sleep' - ok, live in solitude then, don't take your shit out on others.

You can't kill the metal
The metal will live on
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New-wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal Ha,hahahahaha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Aargh! yaow!
No-one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win for why we do not know

just use ear plugs. grow up man.

This is not something i want to be a part of lol.

earplugs and construct a soundwall from furniture around your bed + sleep with everything except mouth under a thick layer of whatever is soft + get really stoned and the bass from music will actually feel like a massage while you are falling asleep and be really nice.

Wow, you're both a bitter hermit and a sociopath. Congratulations on the blazing success that is your life.

You can google and find blueprints how to make a "poff" (bet it's not called poff everywhere)
I have descriptions in swedish you can bablefish or ask someone to translate if you want or just ignore it =P
+ Show Spoiler +4.0 Hur du gör din egen Poff!
En poff är en slags kortslutare. Funktionen är enkel, du stoppar in poffen
i vägguttaget och proppen går. Det finns två olika sorters poff.
Version 1:
----------
Koppla fast en dubbelledare i en stickpropp och låt ungefär en halvmeter
sladd hänga utanför. Skala de båda ledarna längst ut ett par centimeter.
När du sedan har stoppat i stickproppen i uttaget, för du ihop de båda
sladdarna utan att röra kopparn (då du utan förvarning får 230 volt in i
tummen!). En ljudlig gnista uppstår som dessutom dödar proppen som hörde
till uttaget.
Version 2:
----------
Den här poffen (Som är ganska mycket säkrare att använda) kopplar du ganska
enkelt, du kopplar en sladd mellan de två polerna inuti en stickpropp. Den
här är för övrigt den behändigaste poffen att ha med sig i skolan,
arbetsplatsen, biblioteket, köpcentrumet osv...
Kommentar: När du "poffat" uttaget finns det ingen ström i detsamma tills
vaktmästaren eller dylik person bytt propp. Stick under tiden in en
intressant pryl i uttaget som aktiveras när strömmen slås på igen. Exempel:
Eltriggad bomb/smällare, en poff till, eller varför inte en likriktare med
inkopplad underdimensionerad bakvänd elektrolytkondensator (Icke eldfängd
explosion inträffar då här, och utvecklar kraftigt illaluktande ångor).

I was in the same situation as you many times in the apartment I moved, so I can feel your pain. First I tried to be good and actually went to the parties, explaining them that they are no allowed to make any serious noise after 23:00. While they were saying: "yes, man; sure; no problem, we'll be quite", they still continued their parties, without any attempt to clam down. Just like you I was ready to kill the whole party. But I did not want to go to cell after that(: So I started warning them that I will be forced to call the Police. Surprisingly, they still did not want to hear me(: After warning them, I had all the moral rights to call the Police, which I actually did.
I did it 3 times for different parties, and each time the Police forced them to stop the party. No parties in the same place afterwards. We live in a civil world and I can't understand how people can sleep with earplugs (WTF???). You have the right to call the Police, because it is them who are doing something wrong, not you. Besides you actually warned them!!!
To summarize:
1) Go to the party, ask them to call the guy who actually lives in the apartment.
2) Stay calm, and simply explain that there is a lot of noise from their party, you can not sleep and this is not just about you: they prevent all the people in your building from sleeping as well. Let them know that if they will not calm down, you call the Police. Do not forget to say thank you very much at the end of your conversation(:
3) If they do not calm down and you still can not sleep, call the Police and enjoy the show. One bad thing is that they will probably come up only after couple of hours. But there is a big chance not to hear this party anymore.
Good luck!

Thank you tiatara, this is exaclty how the situation is. On other parties, I also went to the parties nicely and asked them to tune it down. But they act like "we have a right to party". So I send the police to them. Worked pretty ok.
I am still a bit in a kill mood since my cellphone had no credit and this time the party stopped only at 7:15 am. But you are right, I should stick with the police.
Last night I went there at 1:30 and 5:00 nicely. At 6:30 I just shutdown their music station. But when I left they powered it back on. Thats why I needed stuff like cutting wires. Thinking back to it, I could trow them over the balcony. But when I am over there, I see they are just silly people trying hard to have fun.
Thanks again, I needed to vent, and you had the right answer.
