This guy may not be in New York City—we aren't the only city with thin-walled residences—but he is over on YouTube showing the world how he deals with thin walls and loud neighbors. Particularly, how he deals when said neighbors are doin' it. You know, sex. Our protagonist sets up challenges for himself, called "Thin Wall Challenges," that he needs to finish before the couple... finishes.
In this one, titled "Two Neighbors One Cup," he starts out asking: "What has four arms and four legs and is currently gettin' it on next door? It's my neighbors." He then introduces his task for the day, and if he doesn't complete his task, he tases himself (though punishments change with each different challenge).
