"Loud music!" the message screamed. Liam rolled it into a ball, then tossed it into his waste bin. A sense of glee washed over him. He felt energized.

He grabbed his airhorn, then went onto his balcony. He pointed the horn into the air and let rip a blast. The sound echoed across the neighborhood.

He then took a deep breath, and started to whistle loudly, a complex melody weaving through the air. He then started to laugh at his own antics. He thought that this neighbor was going to have a headache.
