Hm. You could knock at their door and ask them to be quiet. EVERY TIME. I do that to my neighbor who plays loud music.

If you are going to do something you are gonna have to team up with the other neighbours and get them in on it too. Not easy to stand up to mob mentality, it's also easier to get picked off if you're just a lone target. Would also help build rapport with the other neighbours.

Go down there and ask if you can join in since it sounds like they're having so much fun. If they let you in, you might get free sex, if they don't, they might actually quiet down.

I watched an episode of My Name Is Earl last night that gave me the perfect answer.
Go to them and say "I'm on pills to control my rage right now but if you don't shut up I'll be back here in three days when they wear out to make you shut up."

You could always buy them a ball-gag as a gift...
That was what I was going to say. XD
Ball gags don't always stop all the noise... and there are other noises as well

Ball gags wont stop all the noise but it's much more clear than giving them a rag and some duct tape. Self explanatory things are better.

As for the dude that said cannibal corpse, I did that once when the neighbors where drilling holes on their side of the wall at 10pm (started at 7 but I had to get up at that time anyways). It didn't make them stop but they DID work much faster, probably trying to drown out the death metal with their drill. Even though I had finicky neighbors (ha!) nobody in the building complained about my music.

Everyone beware, cannibal corpse might make it to an unscrupulous workplace near you!

Just as they get really into it, go down and knock on their door very loudly and urgently. Keep knocking until they break down and answer. Then just tell them everybody in the apartment complex knows what's going on, and it needs to quiet down.

So, my neighbours downstairs have decided that 2.30AM is a suitable time (on a work night no less) to be making the beast with two backs. Unfortunately, the woman sounds (and this is the opinion of someone 2 flats above and one over from her, so you can imagine how loud she is) "like a donkey being raped". Luckily this morning the noise didn't start until 7, but it's my day off, I wanted a lie in, not to be awoken by that horrendous racket. In my block of flats, I never hear any other noise from neighbours, no TV/radio, arguing, or anything, not even someone's washing machine, but this, I get to hear.

So I'm looking for inventive suggestions for revenge. My favorite three so far are:

Record the noises and play it back as loud as possible when they have guests (unfortunately, they never seem to have any guests)

Get a recording of appluase and play it very loud at the climax of events

Play a strange and inappropriate tune whenever they go at it to freak them out, such as the magic roundabout themetune or the funeral march.

Unfortunately the last two would also disturb my other neighbours and they don't deserve that. Though suggestions may be considered if they are amusing enough, everyone else is sick of it too.

*oh, and boring stuff like talking to them like civilised people is out, several people have tried that one already.
Just go down, with loads of other people and start shouting through the door things like "go on!", "give it her good!".

Take some lines from Chris Rock ...
Smack her with a dick, smack her with a dick. Put a dick in her ear, dick in her ear. Fuck her in the eye, fuck her in the eye. Blind the *****, blind the *****."

Go to 3:10 ...

When I was a kid we had this problem in a duplex we were living in.

Anyways one of the things my dad did was purchase me a batman figurine which released this incredibly annoying sound effect that went on for a while. He then recorded it and placed his 4 tower speakers to the ceiling, at around 2-4 AM every night for a week he absolutely blasted the sound on repeat.

They moved out the following month.

Another neighbor refused to allow us to use the backyard to get to the alleyway to put out garbage and threatened to have their dog attack us so my dad placed a hit of blotter acid in a steak and fed it to the dog.

I had a girl next door who acted like that.
Best way to stop it is just to ask them in the hallway when other people are within earshot if they could be a wee bit quieter or if that isn't possible, if you can join.
Guaranteed bright red faces or good fun.
I had the red faces.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago..
My solution was to just go over to their door and super-glue a sound-pollution warning-sign to their door, with a note which explained my feelings for their fictional diety and their apparent devotion to it.

They got silent atleast..

Break in when they aren't home and set up hidden webcams and microphones...

...set up a PPV website

...sell copies to amateur porn DVD distributors

...Profit!

...THEN, when you've made enough $$$ send them the URL...

The last time I had loud neighbors, I was in an apartment and they were partying at 3 am on Tuesday.

My roomate asks if he can borrow my speakers, I had no idea wtf was going on but I let him do it.

An hour later, he's set the speakers up at the door, turned them up to max, hooked his mp3 player up to it, and rickrolled all 62 of the other people in the building. He even went out on the stairs and started dancing, but quickly had to come back in because a mob was forming.

Of course, you could always try this too:
