The spec sheets for disk drives give G-force ratings. Any noise loud
enough to come close to these ratings would probably kill you.

Since you're a neighbor and it's easy to offend and cause
bad relations, send an anonymous letter to your neighbors
complaining (politely) about the noise. Wait a few days for
letter to arrive, for parent to talk w/child. If nothing
changes, start calling police. The noise won't stop
otherwise, such an overkill car stereo is only bought to
make extreme noise.
Your hard drive will be fine. The force needed to disturb
it while in a computer would be enough to move the whole
computer case and then some.

Yes. HDDs can takes eomthing like 150G vibration. That should be
enough to tear down walls.

Indeed. I was under the impression that the vibration stat is only
with regard to drive performance, while the shock stat is with
regard to drive damage. I may be wrong.

The problem is that he only does it for a couple minutes or less. So
if we were to call the police, they wouldn't get here in time to hear
the noise.

In general, if you fill out a police report, that's sufficient grounds
for warning, and if it happens repeatedly, the police may actually take
action.
Around here, it's bylaw enforcement, not police, that do the work.
However, the contact point is the same.

Would the police ever let my neighbor know that it was me filing the
complaints? Wouldn't want them to retaliate.

They dont have to witness the crime to ticket him for the crime.
