What's a 'thumper'? B.C. RCMP describe devices in an unneighbourly noise case

When two RCMP officers responded to a call about screams coming from a Burnaby condo, they forcibly entered the unit believing someone might be in trouble.

Hmmm, I'm almost willing to bet that the demographics of the "upstairs neighbours" have an enlarged upper head

On 4chan they call this kind of device a "jeetshaker". But I'm old-fashioned, so if I lived in an apartment building and had noisy upstairs neighbours I'd just use the classic broom handle on the ceiling approach

He caught a mischief charge, worse than murder.

when i was a teenager, my buddy had an apartment downtown in the city. I would sometimes stay there overnight when I was visiting the city.

He had this neighbour next to him that likely had mental issues - if he heard a loud noise (like thumping or banging) he would kick the wall separating the two apartments really hard.

When my buddy told me this, I didn't believe him. Then he demonstrated - in his bedroom, he took a single steel toed boot and let it drop from shoulder height to the ground, which produced a tiny 'thud' noise when it hit the thinly carpeted floor. Within 10 seconds, his bedroom wall shook with the impact of something kicking the separating wall 3 times.

Looking back, it probably wasn't something to make fun of - but being the stupid teenager that I was, I began dropping items on the ground in various spots to see what would happen. The neighbour never disappointed me.

Teenagers having apartments, you are old.
