Title: I feel like a grumpy old man, but it works
Post by: noisyturtle on Mon, 30 June 2014, 20:28:52: It's come to this: I have been blasting this at max volume out my window all day, and it's working. No noisy annoying children yelling, screaming, and throwing things at the apartment. :)
SUCCESS!

I haven't seen any kids playing outside for 4 summers already.

I wish they would play inside, I feel like I'm living in a South Indian daycare center (not trying to be racist, there just happen to be 4 Indian families with about 3-5 kids each in my building.) 6hrs a day, every day, even when it's raining. I can't wait to move out in August.

Imagine living every day of your life next to a children's birthday party. That's what it's like. Torture.

This would have been SOOO useful where I used to live. Where I live now there is only one house that is excessively noisy,and I don't think they'd hear this anyway.

Speakers are directional for the most part.. especially high freq..

It just sounds like a mosquito. You mean that you can stop children playing just by playing this sound? It doesn't irritate me at all.

strident children voices outside

because you are an adult, i guess? human hearing changes over time. children and teenagers can hear irritating high-frequency sounds which adult can not.
