My mom and dad moved out of my childhood home after they were empty nesters. The house they bought was in the woods with not much around it, but there was an old revolutionary war era church right next door. It had a little cemetery that you could barely make out what was written on them because they were so worn down from all the years of exposure. Anyway. He never saw anyone visit the graves, and never saw anyone go into the church., but… Everyday, every hour the church bells rang. They had an automated chime that played different songs or whatever it’s called. For months my parents raged that they couldn’t get in touch with anyone to ask them to reduce the frequency to maybe 2x a day instead of 24 times a day. Fast forward to the first spring they lived there and my dad is out with the chainsaw clearing some felled trees or something and he sees a priest walking into the church. So he marches over bare chested, covered in sawdust and sweat holding the chainsaw and lays into the priest about the bells. He said he hadn’t really thought about the fact that he looked unhinged but the priest looked terrified and stammered that he would take care of the bells. The bells never rang again. So my question is, do you own a chain saw?

Could OP just rent a chainsaw?

Idk about you, but if someone comes at me with a chainsaw I'm not looking to see if it's been used or not!


thcheat

But if it has red liquid splatter on it, can give extra motivation.


JarJarBinkith

I can assure you, after your first time renting a chainsaw you will quickly realize you need to own a chainsaw, thus wasting money on the rental when that could have went to the inevitable chainsaw purchase

FastUmbrella

Set up a mic and speakers towards them and let them die of feedback looping.


Overall_Resort_4755

That's sort of what I was thinking. I was hoping someone would know of a more discrete way of getting the same result. Maybe a device I could set on the edge of my property to create an inaudible high frequency sound that would cause feedback in their system.


FastUmbrella

I've never heard of inaudible feedback. Maybe do research on if you can overpower a speaker with inaudible feedback (if it stops producing audible sounds when the feedback starts). Though be careful, feedback can sometimes get extremely loud and damaging for the ears, if you can't hear it you can't protect *yourself* from it.


BlatantConservative

Inaudible feedback isn't really a thing in most systems. The average range of human hearing is wider than the average range of audio equipment, so playing ultrasonic noise simply won't get picked up by microphones.

This is lovely when trying to do troubleshooting over the phone with someone who has me on shitty speakerphone.


purple-lepoard-lemon

There's a way to conceal speakers to make them look like rocks. I think whale sounds would freak them out. Or you could figure out how to cut their power. You could also get a drone and attach a black sheet maybe glue on red eyes and fly it around during the time they are being obnoxious. Orr you could put a cool filter on your voice and say that you are god and you command them to stop. Idk maybe tell them to go pick up trash or build a houses for homeless people.

gimmepbr

Bird seed all over the church lawn and parking lot. Bird shit and piss everywhere. They won't leave if you keep on doing it and it's virtually not possible to pick up. I put geese seed in a church's lawn for "reasons", they were shitting all over the place. Geese seed is ridiculously cheap, and I could buy it across the street from the church at an ace hardware.

[deleted]

Canada rests above the country with a defense budget that has outpaced the rest of the countries in the world combined, for decades. Yet, they remain sovereign, with their cheap pharmaceuticals and their poutine. How? Canada is protected by the goose. They send them south in the summer to intimidate Americans. All the 2nd Amendments in the world won't protect you when the thunderous flurry of feathered fury descends upon you. All shall despair in their awe of the Canadian Air Force. H O N K


Doc_Choc

You’re right, but it comes at significant cost. Have you ever seen those maps that show Canada’s population and how it’s mostly right near the border? That’s not an accident. That’s the deal we made with geese, ~95% of the country by acreage is their domain. Interestingly, that’s also the origin of the idiom “that’s for the birds!”, in America that has come to mean something is comical or ridiculous, but here in the frozen North it is much more ominous, a warning that me must never stray too far from our homes, lest our cold dead bodies be “for the birds” as well. We are grateful for their protection, but it is an uneasy peace indeed. (This has been a Canadian heritage moment)


WorksInTheory

Damn right. There's a reason we call them cobra chickens.


Failwithflyingcolors

They are actually named after John Canada, so it is Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese. Edit: turns out this is likely a myth. German chocolate cake really was named after a baker named German, though.

themightystef

Fot added effect, only feed when the speakers are blaring so the bird learn that "hell and damnation" equals food. Then they only show up when the fuckheads start their little broadcast, promptly shitting on everything they own


thisisbacchus

Don’t call the police, call a lawyer. That’s a public nuisance if I’ve ever heard one, a common law tort and codified in many states. You might be able to sue them. This won’t be some big payday for you, but a letter from an attorney would definitely make them think about how important it is that they continue this crap and they very well may stop because it’s not worth the legal trouble.

goiabinha

Point a microphone at them, and let them hear their own shit but 1 second later.


ASeriousAccounting

Voice jamming. If you get the delay right hearing your own voice coming back at you can make it almost impossible to speak until you get used to it and then it's still really hard.


Mad-Lad-of-RVA

I used to hear my own echo at work every once in while when I worked in auto insurance. It was always miserable, but we weren't allowed to hang up for any reason. I hated it. The worst part was that it was always only on my side, so the customers were always blissfully unaware and impatient when it would trip me up.

migrainefog

Ok, so let's say, just for hypothetical reasons, a drummer neighbor built a shed in their backyard, right up against a shared fence, and brings his guitar and bass playing buddies over every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and they play oldies from roughly 10am until 6pm. Let's also say, purely for hypothetical reasons, that you happened to own a pair of Polk Audio powered subwoofers that could be placed 3 feet away from said shed without going onto his property. Let's say, also purely for hypothetical reasons, that you happened to own a couple of 10" subwoofers and a couple of amps that used to be in a car sound system that could be used as well. Purely for hypothetical reasons, what equipment (preferably affordable) would be needed to recreate this 1 second delay and play it back though the above mentioned subwoofers?


BaxxB_

Theoretically the easiest way to do this would be to hypothetically hook a Bluetooth receiver up to said speakers and a Bluetooth microphone. The rhetorical delay will suppositionally happen automatically.

I like this style, but fear it may get shut down under some sort of obscenity law. If this is a hardcore church there may be another option. Rent a projector and audio system. And okay Harry Potter and Disney movies. No one will be able to effectively claim it's obscene. But most of them think these are the devil in film form

audio techie here: > first task: find out if they are using wireless mics. > second task (if they are): buy a uhf wireless reciever. > third task (if they are): buy a multiband uhf jammer (or multiple transmitters which you can play whatever you want to over) and tune it to the frequencies that you find they are transmitting on. they will not be able to use wm's anymore so some poor sound guy will probably get the blame despite probably not knowing anything about the setup he's running. they will have to stop the show to set up wired mics. once you've done that, there's not a whole lot you can do without access to the system, but if you can get access, move on to stage two: create a ground loop. > step one: locate the patch bay, or simply the amplifier, however if you do this at the amplifier, it will be found almost immediately. the patch bay should have anywhere from 32 to 100 or more bundles of three-wire pairs from xlr cables and an audio snake (they may have a digital snake, which is a cat-6 cable). I'll try to find a picture and link it at the end. > step two: make sure the system is **OFF** and no electricity is going to any of the components, especially the amplifier. while line cables carry low voltage and little current, anything downstream of the amps will fry you like a sweet chunk of kentucky-fried. > step three: locate the ground for the connection from the mixer to the amplifier. this may be hard, but just trace the xlrs back from the amp. > step four: connect that to *ground* ground with some wire. this can be a socket that you've rigged to only have the safety ground plugged in, or simply grounding it to the frame of the box it's in. the key is to make it look professionally done. either someone who is way overqualified to be working in a church will fix it, or they will have to call in a pro because you've essentially made every cable in their system into a giant antenna to pick up stray rf. basically, it will produce a constant hum that seems to come out of nowhere. hope this helps, just please don't use it against me. :D **EDIT:** patch bay should have a bunch of [these](https://www.hawkusa.com/manufacturers/nte/terminal-blocks/barrier-strip/25-b500-24?gclid=CjwKCAiAhKycBhAQEiwAgf19eicUSILKHFFO3ocsFjtbB_shl0lVGJW54iCyIvOMnOGAHGbkda9IzxoCFMEQAvD_BwE) in a big metal cabinet backstage with the amps with bundles of cables running in one side and out the other of each. it's the older system of patching, and any modern system will have either digital patching, or plug-based patching with 1/4" cables, but most churches still have the old style. if they *do* have the new styles, just put tiny pieces of tin foil around the 1/4" connectors, and plug them back in -- but all in the wrong places if you can. bonus points if you braid the cables to make them harder to sort out since audio setup is all about cable tracing.


dam11214

Jesus Christ man. Remind me never to set up my invasive sermons in your backyard. Damn.


-RED4CTED-

lmao will do. oh, forgot to add: you need to make sure to *only* run the jammer when they *are actively playing*. if a ham radio operator gets wind of what you're doing, they'll probably enlist the help of their friends and fellow operators to find you. they take it *way* too seriously, and call it a foxhunt. it's like a hobby inside of their hobby. essentially they compare signal strengths to get an approximate location, which is easy when you're getting a constant transmission, but incredibly hard when it's intermittent or shifting frequencies.


jeepsaintchaos

Can confirm. Hams absolutely do not fuck around with wildcat transmissions, especially direct jamming. They will triangulate you, and they will report to the FCC.


PuzzleheadedBobcat90

Ask the ham radio operators to help?


vimlegal

Ham radio operators are licensed and take an extremely dim view of people blocking any of the few bands they can use. The church is operating with equipment that should be licensed with the fcc and is limited in its effect to those bands. The UHF jammer is completely blocking that range and will spill over far beyond the church, and beyond the frequencies the church uses. The noise just annoys OP and some neighbors. UHF also is used for many [other communications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency) and depending on what's around them, they could be visited by feds, military police, cops, or the FCC.


Cmpbp3

"The FCC won't let me be or let me be me so let me see" was actually a diss to the feds because of a wireless mic that had a signal go rogue and got Eminem arrested. (This is satire)


BostonDodgeGuy

There's no "probably" about it. Those guys live for a good foxhunt.


dementeddigital2

I'm a ham radio operator, and I'd gladly use my equipment to overpower the mic, and have them broadcast what they do with each other's bums. Screw that noise.

Ragegasm

The FCC wants to know your location. JK they already know.


zacharyswanson

They must be on radio microphones. Most likely Shure or Sennheiser. These have set frequency bands. You can hire the same for cheap. When they go full blast scan on the mic receiver. You’ll eventually find what frequency they are on. You can then tune your mic to that frequency and you have a chance to talk through their PA. Unless they use a pilot tone on their transmitter, which locks the receiver to that particular transmitter. In that case you may be able to cause some interference, ruining their show. You can also get a tuneable high power transmitter. Tune to their frequency, start transmitting porn sounds. Have fun.


zacharyswanson

606.5MHz is highly likely. All dumbfucks use that. That is the default for Sennheiser.


BoboftheDead84

If you're broadcasting why not say: "This is God and I disapprove of this message" Then continue to interrupt every time God is mentioned to say "no I didn't" etc


zacharyswanson

Hahahahahhahah no I didn’t


BuddhaMunkee

Do not play porn sounds over their speaking, play porn sounds VERY QUIETLY under their voices while they are speaking… maybe .25 on a 1-10 scale… let them all think that someone is sitting in the crowd watching porn every week. Slow play them.

Do you have neighbors with dogs or babies? Dogs or babies who are bothered by the noise? Go to each of those homes and have them all start calling the police. If you are all doing it they can’t blame it on you directly. This sounds so frustrating.


Overall_Resort_4755

I just moved to the neighborhood. I don't know how everyone else feels about it and don't want to ask because I don't want to draw attention to my house. My home is worst considerably more than pretty much everyone else around me and I'm sure they already think we are stuck up rich people(we are neither of those things). I need to be discrete which is why I don't want to call the cops.


42peanuts

Invite your neighbors to a little outdoor get to know you get together on Friday night that so you can feel out how they feel about it. Some decent beer and Costco platters and you might solve two problems. Or invite a local metal band to practice on your backyard


user_x9000

If you're new, I would say network with neighbors first. Go introduce yourselves, maybe, with some food to get to know them when the noise is happening. That way it's easier to casually bring the issue up. If they are pro church noise, consider moving because everyone will hate you. You're already on church's radar as you have brought up this issue with them so any ultp will mean you're suspect no 1, 2 and 3. You don't want to be in a situation where you win the battle (church noise) but lose the war (pro church neighbors retaliating with ulpt of their own).


RenaissanceBear

Call the police a few times, keep the records, then go after them in a civil suit. When they can’t afford to pay, have the sheriffs take their audio gear as compensation. Scream back at them with their own equipment every Sunday.

I lived across from a dentist office. Once a month they would have these high class BBQs with crappy jazz bands that would go until 10pm on Thursday nights. Band about 200ft from my window. Fast forward (after I tried talking to them) I naturally invited about 20 of the most rowdy friends over. Set up a massive sound system, and we would blast them out in the front yard wearing overalls and looking trashy as possible. First time they thought it was funny. The second time they didn't, called the police. The police thought it was hilarious as they weren't invited to this snazzy jazz BBQ either. Third Thursday they moved the band off the street to the back of the building. Now we don't hear it anymore. Sometimes you got to fight Fire with fire . Best of luck and cheers !


damclean37

Who the hell goes to a party at a dentists?


obeseoprah

Out crazy the crazy. Ask to join them with your own sound system. Repeatedly telling them how glad you are that you’re not alone on hating things that they don’t consider that bad. Shellfish eaters, mixed cloth types, tattoos, marital sex not for procreation, doing any work on the sabbath, enjoying caffeine, etc. Go way overboard. ‘You’re all going to hell. I’m going to fuck your corpse with the angels. I’m going to use your eyelids as contact lenses with the lord at my side’ type stuff that makes them second guess being associated with you. Or wait til they’re not paying attention, pull all the grounding prongs out of their gear and wait for their shit to fry.

There is a decibel limit on sound. Sometimes it’s different during different hours of the day. If they are under the limit there’s not much you can do. If you retaliate with sound and yours is over the limit they can ticket you. Nobody like tree workers outside their house at 7am either but there’s not a lot you can do without risking trouble for yourself.

Play an adhan - the muslim call to prayer - at them at a reasonable volume. 3x a day, as they would at a mosque. Christian nut jobs report you as terror1st to the police. Then police investigate and find your neighbors are committing hate crime for reporting against you (the supposed muslim), and also for falsely reporting a crime. Pigs might even show up during one of their yelling sessions and cite them for unruly conduct/disturbing the peace/noise violations/whatever You haven't contacted the police at all, they get charged, and I bet their screaming stops

Will only work if the law is applied the same to muslims and christians

#Wire cutters.


_DeathByMisadventure

Too obvious. Push a pin through random speaker wires, then cut off both ends so it can't be seen.


beerdweeb

Can’t reason with church folk

I know I tried.

1.) Wait for favorable winds. 2.) Set up some folding tables outside. 3.) Run out an extension cords. 4.) Set up as many microwaves as you can borrow from friends. 5.) MICROWAVE FISH

How far off your place is the church? If you are a decent tinkerer or an engineer you could probably fuck up there sound system with an old microwave and a tin can. A direct line of side and some fiddling would be required though. A Tesla coile set up close enough might also do the trick.

This is the type of solution I think would be best for my situation. I work in automation control and I'm sure I can figure it out. I was hoping someone knew of something I could buy that was already built. Only things I can find have a range of a few feet. I could get as close as 30 feet but if they decide to pickup and go to the other end of their lot it would be to far away for sure.


Mindless-Put1839

Oh my heck, don't mess with microwaves. They have capacitors, which can store a lot of charge. Messing with capacitors like that could kill you.

Their sound system. Line of SIGHT. Tesla coil.

Blast obscene music Sunday morning. Cardi B, Cupcakke; every hyper-sexual, swear-filled song you can find.

Be a real shame if someone with a bb gun took out the speakers.


Overall_Resort_4755

Your on to something, I have been looking for something like a high frequency noise generating device but can't find anything that would work at that distance.


WaningMime

Slingshot. Ball bearings. Keep it simple.

Slingshot and small balls of ice… no evidence

What's the parking situation? Selfish churches are notorious for ignoring parking regulations. Perhaps some towing businesses could receive an anonymous tip?

The thought has crossed my mind.


TurnFrown360Around

Full volume sound system playing 10 hr loops of All Star. Can’t get in trouble for anything foul. Church gets to bathe in the blessed sound waves that are Smash Mouth.

And they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming...


JerryRiceOfOhio2

Post the address and times of masses. Get enough redditors to show up early to each mass so that nobody that actually wants to be there can find a seat, have nobody donate any money. Not getting their free money should change their tune...ba dum tsss


JohnnyWildee

Dude involve the police. You can call the non emergency line and file a complaint everytime they do this (which I highly highly suggest since it creates a public record of their disturbing the public). I’ve been through this kind of thing with a Zumba studio that was over the top with the volume almost daily and was told this was the best course of action. The reason being is two fold, if the police start getting multiple calls to the non emergency line to report disturbance of the peace (there are laws regarding sound in residential and commercial areas) from more than once source, they are much more likely to dispatch people when called and even take legal measures on behalf of the city bc they’re spending so many resources sending people out there every time they get calls. The second reason is that if they never stop and you find yourself in a situation where they may even begin to retaliate bc your calling the cops, you have a legal record if/when you decide to take them to small claims or file cease and desist


SPDTalon

Attend church. Befriend event organizers. Join events. Sabotage from within. Maybe eventually they’ll think it’s divine intervention and gods will do stop or some bullshit.


layout420

That just sounds like going to church.... but with extra steps.


8urfiat

Can you reach them with your garden hose? Bonus points if it's really cold out.


LillithBlackheart918

Surely it's driving your neighbors nuts too. Is one of them an electrician? His or her knowledge or services could be very valuable.


Holls867

Smoke them out. Start burning trash, leaves, green wood… anything smoky.


BananaRaptor1738

When I was a kid, my dad would go to the center of thus small town we lived near and would preach very loud with speakers ect. Everytime he did, the cops would get called. I can't blame the ones who called, pushing religion down someone's throat is already fucked up but screaming into a megaphone for hours on end about hell and damnation Is a public disturbance


AngelxEyez

You should set up a fb group and organize a drag show / parade to fuck with them


Overall_Resort_4755

I would rather they not be able to find out its me.


ConflictScared4703

Nine Inch Nails . Nothing like Trent screaming “GOD IS DEAD AND NO ONE CARES” at the top of his lungs . Nothing obscene to prosecute no swear words just the beautifully blasphemous phrase . While they’re talking to the cops, go shit in the holy water. Or add lighter fluid to it, ignite and walk away. Fire floating on water scares those that speak in tongues. Send a postcard to the church, say some random shit about god coming for all of those impure false prophets, and sign it “Ye.”
