STOCKHOLM, Sweden, - An elderly couple have been charged with harassment for playing Iron Maiden songs at top volume toward their neighbors' home, Swedish police said.

The couple was taking revenge on their new neighbors in the Stockholm area, who they said were too loud, Aftonbladet Daily reported Sunday.

The 71-year-old woman, whose name was not reported, said the new neighbors were so loud, she had to take sleeping pills in order to sleep.

"We wanted to give a taste of their own medicine," her 81-year-old husband said.

The couple set up a music system on their balcony facing their neighbor's home, police said.

The elderly couple allegedly played the music until as late as 4 a.m. throughout the winter, The Local.se reported.

"The harassment has just carried on, I am completely broken down. How can I keep living here," the neighbors told police.

Isn’t this part of the world (Scandanavia) always being reported as one of the most “happiest countries” (substitute “happy” with “healthy,” “smart,” “progressive,” “wealthy” or any other positive adjective.)

When you’re feeling down, depressed and lonely, well, it’s an option.

Bravo! I did that with apartment neighbors. A 60+ year old hippie who thinks he’s a rock star, has a constant procession of ‘roomates’( other barfly types) and does karaoke till 4 am. Soooo, I amped up some Andrea Bocelli at 8am and turned my massive B&W apeakers against the wall. Nothing like Hi C to clear your drunken head! As ‘dessert’ I add some Celine Dion( which I love, so the volume is fine with me). It’s fun to see him stagger outside and give me the stinkeye. No noise violations in the daytime, Axl!! lol

For sheer torture it’s hard to beat Classic Chinese music. Howling and yowling, grating stuff-but I’d crack before he did.

This story reminds me of a student in ME at the university I attended. He was a WWII and Korean War Combat Airborne vet and decided to legally eliminate what he labeled as hostile actions or inactions by those who didn’t care about others. He did this with specific inventions.

1. For the ah’s that drive behind you with their bright lights on, he invented a curved metal mirror which he installed on the ledge in front of his rear window in his car. When a bozo with brights came up behind his vehicle, he would push a button which raised the metal mirror and beamed the bright lights back to the driver in the rear.

2. For barking dogs ignored by their masters. He set up a system that would pick up the bark and transmit a sound not heard by humans to the dogs. Every time the dogs would bark, they immediately got the sound they didn’t want. After a couple of barks and yips they would stop.

3. For ah’s like the offending neighbors in this article, he developed a system that would bounce back the offending sound at a higher level with a terrible distortion. When the neighbors lowered the sound levels to a certain level, his system would turn off.

Even in such a state, always keep in mind it’s still life.

I’d play “Seasons In The Sun” by Terry Jacks.

You are evil indeed! :) Now I'm going need a long dose of "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" just to evict that durn Terry Jacks song from my head.

Bagpipe music blasted to high volumes would do the trick as well....

Possibly for a while, but eventually you’d be caught somewhere.. in time.

You know why bagpipers walk while they play?

It’s harder to hit a moving target.

True, but there’s a thin line between love and hate.
