Very much illegal.
You won’t likely get caught doing it once or twice, but repeatedly doing it will get you a hefty fine and potentially even criminal charges.
Not to mention, imagine if your jamming prevents someone making an emergency call. Or if you disrupt emergency services.
Recording yourself doing it is just asking for trouble, like filming yourself going over twice the speed limit.
You deserve the consequences, too.
As annoying as loud music might be (9AM definitely isn't early lol), it's not up to you to decide what the appropriate volume for someone to play music on their property is. They very probably are perfectly legally entitled to do so.
Maliciously attacking their shit is not OK.
Worth pointing out, this specific kind of attack targets a device based on its mac address and sends it shedloads of junk requests. There is no chance of it interfering with emergency wireless transmissions.
That said, i agree it's not OK to mess with other people's devices like this.
