The writer asked for serious suggestions, the one you propose has the maturity of a 12 year old. If you were in the postion (no pun intended) of the person upstairs wouldn't you rather have your neighbor politely knock on your door and let you know, then have your neighbor play back a tape that could be embarassing!!! Even though it is a somewhat awkward situation I think most people will be suprised at how easily it is handled by politely saying something to the neighbor.
