We used adifferent tactic when dealing with our neighbors.  We would set up a big horn tweeter with abig amp and run a signal generator through it set to about 25kHz.  We didn’t have any dogs at thetime, but our neighbors sure did.

 

 

 

Boy, is thisOT...

 

True Storey:

 

My family used to have a vacationhouse at a lake here, until Hurricane Hugo decided to drop a bunch of largetrees on top of it and take it out. Anyway, one evening our neighbours decidedto have this big Country and Western themed drunken bash that lasted all night,complete with a DJ under a cowboy hat spinning Mel Tillis and stuff all night.

 

We asked them to turn it downseveral times, but to no avail.

 

So, the next night, we located thischildren's plastic record player in a closet, along with a 45 single of"I'm a Little Teapot".  We put the record on so it would playover and over non-stop, placed it on our screened-in front porch, turned it allthe way up and grabbed our tents and headed out to an island for a night ofcamping.

 

We got back around 9:30 the next morning and it was stillblasting away. Shortly after that, the neighbours showed up! "OK, we getyour point! We're so sorry and won't let that happen again!"

 

Heh....I listen to Robert Rich andMouse on Mars when I'm doing yard work. Wanna know what my current neighboursthing of me?
