      Very much illegal.

      You won’t likely get caught doing it once or twice, but repeatedly doing it will get you a hefty fine and potentially even criminal charges.

      Not to mention, imagine if your jamming prevents someone making an emergency call. Or if you disrupt emergency services.

      Recording yourself doing it is just asking for trouble, like filming yourself going over twice the speed limit.

        You deserve the consequences, too.

        As annoying as loud music might be (9AM definitely isn’t early lol), it’s not up to you to decide what the appropriate volume for someone to play music on their property is. They very probably are perfectly legally entitled to do so.

        Maliciously attacking their shit is not OK.

      Yeah it’s really bad news.

      And chances are it will be investigated pretty quickly… you’re likely to cause problems for more than just the next door neighbour’s music. A friend of mine is a cellular radio technician and is occasionally tasked with identifying signal problems. Usually it’s unintentional - some electronic device that isn’t working properly, and they have tools to find the source relatively quickly and and order the owner to turn off and repair/destroy whatever is causing problems.

      He said when nobody is home in the building that appears to be broadcasting noise, he will call the utility company and have them shut off power to the building to try to stop whatever is broadcasting.

      If it’s intentional… cops will be called.
