Noise pollution is one of those crimes that never really gets punished – the police have better things to do and all the council can do is take some measurements...

We say this from personal bitter experience of a neighbour who enjoys entertaining our estate by playing terrible Irish crooner Daniel O'Donnell at full blast at three in the morning twice a week. We all love a party but there are limits pal.

Anyway Judge Paul Sacco in Colorado, US of the A, has come up with an excellent punishment for this suburban menace. He's warned that repeat violators will receive "audible punishments" in the form of being forced to listen to an hour of Barry Manilow, or for the worst offenders, an album of music by Barney the unbearable dinosaur so they can understand the annoyance they subject on others. Excellent, although I'm not sure it would work on my neighbour, he'd probably like it.

What music would you force someone to listen to as punishment?
