Our next door neighbor has a kid who frequently turns up the car
stereo all the way. The bass is strong enough to make the windows
rattle. I wonder, will my hard drives be OK if the floor frequently
vibrates?

Call the police, most cities have ordinances against this.

Put some speakers in the window of your house facing theirs and crank Led

Throw the hard drive at him, and see if it still runs after it knocks
him out. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Probably about as much damage as you walking around in the room, granted
the car is probably on longer than you walk.
Put a thin piece of foam under the PC. If there are vents on the
bottom which I doubt, then don't block them. Put a piece of thin wood
or such on top of the foam for the PC to sit on. Can't be thick foam,
the PC may tip over. But something 1/8" - 1/2" might give a small
amount of shock proof.
It can't hurt, and if you feel better, then its worth it.

The"air bearing" that the heads fly-on when the disks are spinning is
actually pretty tough.

Around these parts, sounds amplified with a sufficient enough volume to be
heard inside of one's home are considered a breach of the peace, and will be
responded to by law enforcement. If it was me I would just let them handle
it; there really is no excuse for assaulting people with that type of sonic
radiation.
Can hard drives handle floor vibrations?
