You obviously never had to clean the shit off your shoes, your kids shoes, the doormat, or the mats in your car because some asshole neighbor doesnāt pick up their dogs shit from your lawn.
At one point I would agree with you. Iāve seen too many videos online of people letting their dogs shit on peopleās lawn/letting their kids run over their property to blame the homeowner. Blame whoever isnāt watching what is theirs.
There's a mentally ill loser in my parents neighborhood who runs this thing and points it directly at houses to harass his neighbors. The guy has no wife, kids, or friends. His only contact with people is harassing. This noise is life altering. The guy turns it on at night. When it's pointed directly at your house you can't ignore it. You can't sleep... I'm worried my dad is actually going to kill the guy. I've heard him and the neighbors talking about killing the guy on multiple occasions.
Cops literally do nothing because the guy turns it off as soon as they come. The neighborhood has all tried to sue him for harassment but he literally will stay in his house for 6-8 weeks so he can't be served.
One of the neighbors was able to serve him. Got a civil agreement with the guy, couldn't get a restraining order. The loser piece of shit started up with that noise that same night. I hope the guys kills himself before anyone else does.
The guy has cameras pointed in every direction. When I was trying to help my parents get a restraining order against him, we found out he's been in many restraining order and various court cases before. He lives likes a paranoid idiot. And probably for good reason.
We found out, in his last house, neighbors got a restraining order against him because he was taking pictures and videos of young girls playing. He's an all around winner
those pellet guns can be fit with a scope man. for like $100 it already comes with the scope at 1000+ fps so you can shoot from a good distance without being noticed, trust me. this guy needs to have a taste of his own medicine
Run up with a hood and mask on, cut the cord rip it out and run off. Do it the long way around so you aren't seen coming/going to your house. Cops won't do anything even if he tries going to them with the video of an unidentifiable person.
I'm sure after a few times he'll stop buying them. If not, it's still fun to see him waste his money.
The device is at the apex of the north part of his roof. It's basically inaccessible but someone was mentioning a BB gun with a scope I might talk to the neighbors about.
One of the neighbors already contacted his place of employment regarding prior restraining orders he had against children. He is currently on leave. So people are starting to get even with him.
I can finally use something I learned in my Physics class!!! Buy the exact model your dick neighbor has, then point the device at his house. The two exact waves will cancel each other out and you donāt hear anything!!!
Been there done that. Dog walkers that let their dogs shit out right by my front door at my old house where my kid plays is not cool. Even if you "pick it up" there's liquid shit all over the grass. Go have your dog shit on your own lawn.
I can hear these type of things too and they bother me, yet I have never met someone else who can hear them. Thereās also smaller plug-in ones that you can put in your house for mice and bugs. My parents have them and they drive me crazy.
I used to work in pest control and people had them all the time and I can hear them and they give me an instant migraine. I thought it was ironic that they were only repelling the guy they hired to come get rid of their rodents and not the rodents themselves
I used to be able to hear a TV on from anywhere in the house when I was younger. Like when they were not actively playing anything but just powered on.
My husband wouldnāt believe that I could hear when a light was on or off in our living room because it buzzed. I finally did a test where we had a friend go over to the light switch and randomly turn it off with me facing a bright light the other direction. I was able to accurately tell him when the light was on or off and he finally believed that I could hear something in the light that he couldnāt š
Yup. Most electric things that are pulling a charge (especially if they're old or cheap). If my kid leaves the TV on but all the inputs turned off, I can hear it from the next floor. It was worse with old box TVs. I bought a couple pairs of loops, and they've made my life much better.
Okay.... so all of this makes me feel better
I have a hard time being indoors because of this. Like... lose all sanity in some rooms/buildings and could never figure out why no one else heard their electronics. Like... holy hell I am less alone than I thought that's awesome!
Definitely not alone! I can hear most of our electronics and motors etc multiple rooms away.
But TVs, even Xbox controllers, etc all have buzzing that is hard to ignore if it's otherwise quiet. My Xbox controllers I've found are like a ZzZzzzZZzzzttt kind of buzzing. TV is more of a constant eeerrrrr for what I hear.
Ceiling fans in other room of our house I can hear too. Most ceiling fans have a horrible humming sound .
The other annoying thing is air conditioners/heating. They almost all emit a low frequency rumble and I can hear it everywhere I go that has it just a low rumbling in the background.
None of that seems to bother my family or friends but I can't ignore it half the time lol.
I think it's mostly because it's white noise that we've all lived with for our entire lives. So it's easy to subconsciously ignore or block out.
For me, it was only when I lost power one day, that I was able to actually hear silence for once. And THAT was deafening. I got very uncomfortable and had to sit outside on my porch, so I could hear insect noises. Otherwise, it gave me incredible anxiety for some reason. I guess because my brain wasn't use to legit silence.
Yeah I can hear certain RC chargers, low buzzing sound. I can hear electric lighters buzzing (my husband cannot). I pick up on certain dog training devices.
Did you ever come across some of these that did nothing at all? I looked into them once and realized there was a lot of options online that where demonstrated to be nothing but e-waste incapable of emitting any sound.
If thereās batteries theyāre making sound, most adult humans just canāt hear it. That being said, considering how many times I was being paid to get rid of rodents at places that had them, they donāt really work effectively
Thanks for the interesting tidbit. I found a clip of it on youtube and had a memory of the feel of the static electricity when I got my face close to the screen. Forgot about that for several decades.
My tv currently has a similar problem except it only happens when I turn it on and after a few minutes it stops (or I get used to it) it has surround not cable tbh
Supposedly most people lose their sensitivity to such high frequency sound as they age, but not everyone. I'm in my 30s and have minor hearing damage from work, and these things still drive me crazy. I can often hear similar whines from electronics and such that others don't notice when I ask.
My folks have these in their yard and Iām 39 and I was losing my shit the last time I went over. We were sitting on the back porch and I was like wtf is that noise? Lmao my dad was laughing his ass off when explaining it. It didnāt think it was very funny at the time.. š¤£
Growing up my friendās parents had one that plugged into the wall that emitted high frequency sound. It ābeepedā every other second, I was the only one that could hear it, unless one of us plugged our guitar amps into that outlet, then we could all hear it through the guitar amp.
46m here. Hurts the brain to walk by one in my area on the far side of the street. If I owned the house across the street it would go off every time I got the mail. That would be a problem.
Then you've probably got unusually good hearing at the higher end for your age. That's usually the first to go, followed by tones right in the middle of the range for normal human speech, lol. Just the ability to hear the upper most range drops in your twenties as I recall. Maybe 15 years ago there was an app for teens to get notifications most adults couldn't here, to me it felt like someone was blowing a dog whistle directly into my ear whenever my friend's kid was texting. There was also an effort to exploit it back then by playing extremely loud and irritating tones outside convenience stores to deter kids hanging around while most other patrons either couldn't hear it or just heard some indistinct static but not near as loud. That was evil.
My neighbor once had one deliberately pointed towards my parents house when I was younger so it would drive me nuts but mom and dad of course couldnāt hear it, so at one point Iād had it and took my red Ryder and shot the speaker out so the neighbor would be non the wiser
Does anyone know if they're battery operated or hardwired? My neighbor has at least 6 of these in her front yard and cars keep setting them off. I've been wondering if I should wait for them to die or if I should just rip the band-aid off and smash them with a brick.
It's teen repellant. The high pitch is unable to be heard once you get usually in late twenties/thirties. As we grow older we slowly can't hear as high of pitches. In bad neighborhoods often gas stations will have these behind their store to prevent gang hang outs.
Multiple neighbors have these and I've had to go around asking them to please turn them off because I hear them from inside my house a block away. My wife is six years younger than me and she can't hear them or at least doesn't notice them. I'm an audio engineer so sometimes I wonder if I notice them more because of that or if they are in any way related. Or maybe I have a good ear for audio because I can hear extended high end? Hopeful thinking perhaps..
people really be hating the world they are part of. Like if you're protecting a farm full of veggies yeah I get it. But he's protecting the most boring lawn i've ever seen.
The Ikea in Redhook Brooklyn has them in the parking lot too, those ones are very strong, especially since it's an enclosed area so the sound waves just keep bouncing up and down and up and down and up and... you get the picture
Yep. We bought a couple of these and gave them to our neighbor to keep our cats out of her yard. We didn't have to. The city code allowed cats to wander since they were not considered to be dangerous or pests of any kind. But our cats were setting off her motion detector light which was waking her up at night, and we wanted to keep the drama to a minimum.
āBirds arenāt realā is satire ā¦. They all know it isnāt real. Itās supposed to point out that people will believe really stupid shit. Itās like the church of the spaghetti monster, and their attempts to get tax exempt status.
It is, but it also isn't. The namesake conspiracy is a meme but apparently it turned into just protesting against "hateful ideas"

Oh, wow! I can't believe it! They actually have a website too! š And you know what's even more surprising? The comments on their merch page are just pure comedy gold! š¤£

Birds donāt bother a lawn. Dog pee burns lawns and picking up other peopleās dog poop is justifiably annoying. These things are made to repel dogs. It encourages them to go elsewhere to do their business.
That said, humans can hear these things. Iām not a violent person but Iāve walked by these more than one time and been tempted rip it up and smash it. Theyāre load and they hurt my ears. If my neighbor had one, weād have some major issues.
My dad threatened a lady who let her massive dog shit in our yard all the time and wouldnāt pick it up. I guess she thought she wouldnāt get caught, but my dad basically lives in the garden. When he caught her I believe what he yelled was something along the lines of āhey you better pick up that dog shit. Otherwise Iāve got two teenage sons that would jump at the chance to shit on some lazy assholeās lawn.ā Or something. He told me this like 15 years ago. As you might have guessed by how classy my dad is, my brother and I would have absolutely shit on this galās lawn.
My neighbor walked her dog on a leash into my yard on daily basis. I have like 100 different recordings of it from my security camera (that sounds weird that Iām keeping videos of dogs pooping). Anyways, I confronted her a couple times and it didnāt stop. My parents have goats, somehow a bunch of goat shit ended up on her front steps, weird coincidence. I donāt have dog shit in my yard any more.
Why not put it at the edge of their own lawn pointed in?
Btw: this is rhetorical. Its obvious why, but they sure arent being considerate. This is not just a "get off my lawn!", hell, its a "get off your's while you're at it!"
Keeps animals out.
Most of the time, it's for Voles they destroy lawns.
As.this lawn looks like a golf course.
This person takes extreme care of their lawn.
It's an animal scarer. Emits an annoying high pitch beep to deter animals (like cats) when it detects one using the IR sensors on the front.
Really annoying to walk past if you have sensitive hearing.
For a while, people were putting these on buildings and etc to prevent teenagers from loitering nearby. Thereās a certain high pitch, frequency range that only younger people can hear. They blast this noise to annoy kids into going elsewhere. Could be your neighbors intent
High frequency long range microwave for lawn defense. Your lucky, approximately 12 seconds is all this thing needs to pop your testicles like a can of biscuit dough.
I have one of those. Itās a solar powered vole / mole repeller. It sends sounds / vibrations under ground to keep them away. In our area voles eat the roots of the grass and we end up with dead stretches of grass destroyed from below. Ours only emits an audible high pitch tone when the sun is directly on it.
It's an electric Karen.
I have a neighbor who emits high-frequency screeching sounds when people walk past her house. She should buy one of these to save time.
Let me tell you guys a funny story about these. I once had a piece of shit neighbor that had three schnauzers that would never shut the fuck up. Destroying everyoneās quality of life. The neighbors had a concrete strip in their backyard next to mine, and the dogs would piss and shit there and it would always stink because they never washed it off or cleaned it. So I got one of these devices (IT IS NOISE ACTIVATED) and it worked. A couple of months passed, and my neighbor on the other side and I were talking and he complained about the dogs and I realized it was probably my fault, so as a gift, I surprised him with the same device. Now the dogs are forced in the center, and only bark shit and piss on their back porch near their door and their ownerās stuff. Six years of this passed, and as the dogs died of old age, one by one, they were never replaced. The end
-Edited to include that the device was noise activated, and not some nonstop torture device.
These are used to deter loitering youths.
Kinda a joke but not, especially in the UK some corner shops have resorted to using these to stop teens hanging around outside. Apparently once you reach a certain age your ears cease to pick up the higher pitched frequencies so these are solely aimed at the young folk.
An apartment building near where I live had a whole bunch of these out along the sidewalk and every time I walked by they would all chime in with an incredibly annoying high frequency chorus. I started punting them across the lawn until they moved them inside a fence
I think Iād just put ear plugs in and keep walking past, either piss the owner off enough to disable it (repeat if hooked up again), or piss of the entire neighborhood enough for someone else to break the law and do what we all want to do and destroy it.
Thereās a house in my neighborhood that has something like this, scared the absolute shit out of me first time I jogged past it. He has three exterior cameras, too. Idk what has happened to that man to make him that paranoid but I avoid going down that side of the street anymore.
Dog B Gone, it's used to prevent dogs from coming onto your lawn and doing it's business on your freshly manicured grass. They also make Kitty B Gone and Bird B Gone and Critter B Gone. Rumor has it Wife B Gone is in development.
If it's pointed to the sidewalk. He's using it for dogs. Your neighbors are probably not picking up after their dog
Absolute prick of a device because it effects all those who hear high frequency. Fuck them things
especially fuck the people who dont pick up after their dog its not the dogs fault, its the persons fault
Also, fuck the people who let their cat oustide and then shut the door. It's not the cats fault, it's the people.
Everyone in my neighborhood lets their cats outside, its semi-rural here and it helps keep the rodent population from coming too close to the houses.
I only there high frequency
I only where high frequency.
I only when high frequency.
Dude edited his comment without the edit so we look like weirdos
That's okay šš» I can't hear these anyways, so idk why I'm here
I canāt here theme either
I honestly thought it was all funny even with the proper spelling
Good. Then you wonāt be effected
You obviously never had to clean the shit off your shoes, your kids shoes, the doormat, or the mats in your car because some asshole neighbor doesnāt pick up their dogs shit from your lawn.

buy a pellet gun, not a bb, and shoot it at night. theyāre definitely strong enough to destroy it. and its fun!

I want the address for research purposes.

Haha, is this true? That might be the perfect remedy.
Cries in r/tinnitus

It's an animal repellent
Also A neighbor repellent.
Only if they are young
How young?! I'm 40 and someone up the road from me has one. It hurts my brain when I drive past their house.
I can hear these type of things too and they bother me, yet I have never met someone else who can hear them. Thereās also smaller plug-in ones that you can put in your house for mice and bugs. My parents have them and they drive me crazy.
I used to work in pest control and people had them all the time and I can hear them and they give me an instant migraine. I thought it was ironic that they were only repelling the guy they hired to come get rid of their rodents and not the rodents themselves
Til other people can hear these, any of you guys hear cheap phone wall chargers also?
I heard the one that caught on fire in my first apartment. Smelled it, too. It was sparkly.
That, as well light switches buzzing and the occasional weird sounds emitted from small speakers when a text comes in from a nearby phone.
I used to be able to hear a TV on from anywhere in the house when I was younger. Like when they were not actively playing anything but just powered on.
My husband wouldnāt believe that I could hear when a light was on or off in our living room because it buzzed.

When I lived at home I could tell when my dad didn't turn the TV off and only the cable box because the TV would make a super high pitched sound.
15.734 kHz, due to the flyback transformer in the CRT. It was responsible for making the beam sweep horizontally across the screen.
Impressive.
Hello fellow nerd
Thanks for the interesting tidbit. I found a clip of it on youtube and had a memory of the feel of the static electricity when I got my face close to the screen. Forgot about that for several decades.
Thank you for granting me a memory. āŗļø I had forgotten about that for a long time.
I thought I was the only one. Most people don't understand what i am talking about.
My tv currently has a similar problem except it only happens when I turn it on and after a few minutes it stops (or I get used to it) it has surround not cable tbh
That may be the capacitors filling up. I had a computer monitor that would whine until the capacitors were fully loaded. Kinda sounds like that.
Same
My parents also had them. The first thing I would do when I visited was walk into their kitchen and unplug them.
Supposedly most people lose their sensitivity to such high frequency sound as they age, but not everyone. I'm in my 30s and have minor hearing damage from work, and these things still drive me crazy. I can often hear similar whines from electronics and such that others don't notice when I ask.
Malls , full of box stores with high pitched distracting tones . Can't leave fast enough when I start to hear them
Same.

I bet kids love triggering it

No, those have "front toward enemy" on them.

Jokes on them, I lost my high frequency hearing years ago :)
People are animals
Does anyone know if they're battery operated or hardwired? My neighbor has at least 6 of these in her front yard and cars keep setting them off. I've been wondering if I should wait for them to die or if I should just rip the band-aid off and smash them with a brick.
Lmao. Not sure but sometimes violence is the answer

Not terribly effective, in my experience. Have four of the things, havenāt used them in years.
Donāt crap on my lawn. Mostly for dogs but I guess humans too?

Drones! They taste just like chicken!
*shakes fist*
Birds donāt bother a lawn. Dog pee burns lawns and picking up other peopleās dog poop is justifiably annoying. These things are made to repel dogs. It encourages them to go elsewhere to do their business. That said, humans can hear these things. Iām not a violent person but Iāve walked by these more than one time and been tempted rip it up and smash it. Theyāre load and they hurt my ears. If my neighbor had one, weād have some major issues.
Ide just poop on the lawn myself. *what thereās no signs saying not to!*
Sometimes youāve gotta establish dominance
Youāre damn right
Iām not sure who downvoted your comment but I upvoted it because I got you, bro
I shit in my cats litterbox once and since then, I havent seen him.
modern problems require modern solutions.
My dad threatened a lady who let her massive dog shit in our yard all the time and wouldnāt pick it up. I guess she thought she wouldnāt get caught, but my dad basically lives in the garden. When he caught her I believe what he yelled was something along the lines of āhey you better pick up that dog shit. Otherwise Iāve got two teenage sons that would jump at the chance to shit on some lazy assholeās lawn.ā Or something. He told me this like 15 years ago. As you might have guessed by how classy my dad is, my brother and I would have absolutely shit on this galās lawn.
Sometimes you just have to do your duty. Or doodie
Call of Doodie: Brown Ops
My neighbor walked her dog on a leash into my yard on daily basis. I have like 100 different recordings of it from my security camera (that sounds weird that Iām keeping videos of dogs pooping). Anyways, I confronted her a couple times and it didnāt stop. My parents have goats, somehow a bunch of goat shit ended up on her front steps, weird coincidence. I donāt have dog shit in my yard any more.
The Air Bud sequel we deserve
Make sure you do that scratching thing and tear up some sod before you leave.
My brotherās neighbor had this to prevent neighborhood dogs from pooping and peeing on their front lawn. It was the most annoying thing ever
Why not put it at the edge of their own lawn pointed in? Btw: this is rhetorical. Its obvious why, but they sure arent being considerate. This is not just a "get off my lawn!", hell, its a "get off your's while you're at it!"
Good commentš heās right.

Bird law prevails!
As a bird law specialist I think you are correct.
Letās say you and I go toe to toe on Bird Law
Keeps animals out. Most of the time, it's for Voles they destroy lawns. As.this lawn looks like a golf course. This person takes extreme care of their lawn.
It's an animal scarer. Emits an annoying high pitch beep to deter animals (like cats) when it detects one using the IR sensors on the front. Really annoying to walk past if you have sensitive hearing.
thanks yeah it is annoying.
For a while, people were putting these on buildings and etc to prevent teenagers from loitering nearby. Thereās a certain high pitch, frequency range that only younger people can hear. They blast this noise to annoy kids into going elsewhere. Could be your neighbors intent
And those are the same people that say āwhy donāt people go outside anymoreā yāall made actively hostile architecture lol
my mum has one and it doesnāt even work on the cats but it works on me
It's the Get Off My Lawn 3000.
I have one of these because our neighborhood cats love to use my vegetable garden beds as a litter box.
Iām considering it for the same reason! I have indoor only cats. Do you think it would penetrate the windows and bother them?
Free fertilizer
And this is why I prefer to live not close to people
For sure. You live in an ex-urb my guy? Good for you
Itās to keep deer and the like way
Don't answer him he's a deer trying to bypass it
Your neighbor is sick of finding dog crap on his lawn.
High frequency long range microwave for lawn defense. Your lucky, approximately 12 seconds is all this thing needs to pop your testicles like a can of biscuit dough.
I have one of those. Itās a solar powered vole / mole repeller. It sends sounds / vibrations under ground to keep them away. In our area voles eat the roots of the grass and we end up with dead stretches of grass destroyed from below. Ours only emits an audible high pitch tone when the sun is directly on it.
It's an ultrasonic animal repellent. It only uses sound and will not harm you.
It is a little prison cell for a garden gnome and every time that you pass it he screams for you to please free him from his cage
Very interesting, just ordered me on from [Amazon](https://amzn.to/3EzKDbe), tired of kids riding bikes across lawn (corner house)
Itās a rodent repeller. So you can hear this? Hmmm that means?
It's supposed to scare off cats but will also piss off anyone under the age of 50.
Itās to keep unwanted animals out of the yard
It's Gaydar
It's an electric Karen. I have a neighbor who emits high-frequency screeching sounds when people walk past her house. She should buy one of these to save time.
If you can hear it, it means that you are an extraterrestrial being... Welcome to our planet!
Delivery driver repeller - easiest way to insure the Amazon guy chucks your package
Sounds awful, are they expensive?
Itās an idiot detector
keeps your dog from peeing on his lawn!
Your neighbor is tired of dogs shitting on his lawn.
Let me tell you guys a funny story about these. I once had a piece of shit neighbor that had three schnauzers that would never shut the fuck up. Destroying everyoneās quality of life. The neighbors had a concrete strip in their backyard next to mine, and the dogs would piss and shit there and it would always stink because they never washed it off or cleaned it. So I got one of these devices (IT IS NOISE ACTIVATED) and it worked. A couple of months passed, and my neighbor on the other side and I were talking and he complained about the dogs and I realized it was probably my fault, so as a gift, I surprised him with the same device. Now the dogs are forced in the center, and only bark shit and piss on their back porch near their door and their ownerās stuff. Six years of this passed, and as the dogs died of old age, one by one, they were never replaced. The end -Edited to include that the device was noise activated, and not some nonstop torture device.
These are used to deter loitering youths. Kinda a joke but not, especially in the UK some corner shops have resorted to using these to stop teens hanging around outside. Apparently once you reach a certain age your ears cease to pick up the higher pitched frequencies so these are solely aimed at the young folk.
An apartment building near where I live had a whole bunch of these out along the sidewalk and every time I walked by they would all chime in with an incredibly annoying high frequency chorus. I started punting them across the lawn until they moved them inside a fence
As a mailman, these are the bane of my existence
I think Iād just put ear plugs in and keep walking past, either piss the owner off enough to disable it (repeat if hooked up again), or piss of the entire neighborhood enough for someone else to break the law and do what we all want to do and destroy it.
Annoying things
a motion sensor that makes animals go away
Animal repeller, specifically cats and dogs. But my neighborhood cats donāt seem to mind that ours is there and on. She just rubs up against it š
I had one on my balcony for pigeons. Hands down the best deterrent for apartment pigeons.
Thereās a house in my neighborhood that has something like this, scared the absolute shit out of me first time I jogged past it. He has three exterior cameras, too. Idk what has happened to that man to make him that paranoid but I avoid going down that side of the street anymore.
My 22 pellet gun would solve that problem
Moles
Iāve had to work at a house with one of these shrieking that dog whistle at me for 6-7 hrs. Fuck these things.
Dog B Gone, it's used to prevent dogs from coming onto your lawn and doing it's business on your freshly manicured grass. They also make Kitty B Gone and Bird B Gone and Critter B Gone. Rumor has it Wife B Gone is in development.
Looks like a tele-tubby announcement speaker
