ULPT Get a ceiling vibrator for noisy neighbors

My upstairs neighbors have a powerful fan that vibrates and hums down into my apartment all night. Twice I've begged through the landlords to ask them to do something about their fan. The neighbors not only refused, but have started to retaliate by stomping, jumping, banging on walls, and running through their apartment. We both have a 1 bed 1 bath 1060 sq ft apartment and it doesn't sound like they have a child but an adult doing it. Two months of non-stop humming and vibrating. Maintenance even confirmed the humming and vibrations are coming down into my apartment and how loud they are. I have no idea what the hell kind of fan they have that could be so strong to send these kind of vibrations and humming downward, but I have finally lost my shit to the point where I happily spent $200 for a ceiling vibrator. Management can't do anything about their vibrating and humming so I figured the same grace can be given to me. The ceiling vibrator has different levels so I'll be setting it on the lowest or second to lowest setting just so it wont be obvious that this is retalitory. If or when they complain, I'll tell the landlord that I bought a fan to help cancel out their noise from my end so I can sleep and that I'm sorry that its vibrating into their apartment, but like them there is nothing I can do about my vibrating fan. 60 fucking days of hours long humming and vibrating at night. They know it vibrates and is coming into my apartment, but they don't care.

I don't care if they retaliate more. I'm bless to be retired at a young age and I have no responsibilities, but they do. One of them has a job they have to sleep for while the other stays home thumping around and turning on that fan. I'll fucking turn that thing on at full blast for 5 seconds just to wake them out of their sleep at like 1 and 2 in the morning if they retaliate more. Plus my makeup vanity has two speakers in the blu tooth mirror thats loud as hell at full volume along with my two TVs. I'll play The Annoying Frog, If It Bleeds We Can Kill It by Austrian Death Machine, and Total Eclipse of The Heart Dance Version at full blast on all three during the day if I have to again while singing it. "TURN AROUND BRIIIIGHT EYES!! EVERY NOW AND THEN I FALL APART!!!!!" The one and only time I did that was when they were really going hard with the stomping and jumping for 2 hours straight during the day. I had the noise going for 20 minutes while slamming doors and singing in the bathroom full throttle and when I shut it off, they were as quiet as a church mouse for the rest of the day and night except for the fan. Fuuuuuck these people. Let them do that rapid stomping they did in retaliation again and I'mma chuck a 3 lb medicine ball on the ceiling at 4 a.m. I don't care anymore, I'll even BUY them a new fan just to make the humming and vibrations stop. The vibrator should arrive by this weekend.

I know people have their thoughts and opinions on ceiling vibrators, but nothing I have done has put a stop to THEIR humming and vibration of my ceiling. I don't want to be an asshole, but two months of this every single night has me at my limit. If you have noisy neighbors and you can afford to do so, get a ceiling vibrator. Its worth it if it finally makes them stop or they even move away.
