My box fan white noise plan woke up the whole block
I was dealing with late night garbage trucks, so I dug out my loudest fan and pointed it at the window. The hum was perfect, but the fan shook so hard it made my blinds rattle like maracas. Next thing I know, the guy downstairs is texting me asking if I'm running a generator at 2 AM. I fixed it by putting the fan on a towel, but now I just use a free sound app on my tablet.

My friend's white noise machine shook his bookshelf loose one night. His neighbor texted asking if he was drilling into the wall at midnight, lol.

Honestly, I have to push back here, @henry_morgan. I don't think a white noise machine could shake a bookshelf loose. Those things are for sound, not real vibration. It's more likely the shelf was not put together right or the wall is weak. The neighbor texting about drilling just shows how loud it was, but not from shaking. Tbh, this story seems a bit off to me.

My old shelf fell too (cheap particle board) so I believe the wall story more.
