If we hear a noise outdoors, it doesn't belong there and probably won't be around too long. We live in a very deep, quiet wilderness with hungry things all around...

I hate motorcycles. Too noisy and dangerous. I especially hate when they blast through traffic and put it on the other drivers to look out for them and keep the road safe. We shouldn't have to be inconvenienced/almost have a wreck so you can feel the wind in your greasy hair, dude.
I'm not a curmudgeon, I promise! I like kittens and strawberries and tulips and the state fair!

There's a guy who lives around the corner from me who has this really big, loud, rumbling bike. He doesn't race thru the neighborhood or even drive it up & down the street excessively, but about once or twice a day he'll come rumbling by & drown out my TV. He seems to be mindful of the noise & thus, he rides pretty slow, but it's still annoying. |

Animals hate high pitched whines (like from a vacuum cleaner.) If you could somehow get that sound to carry over to them, you could probably condition them not to bark as much (hear them bark, wwwwwrrrrrrrr sound on until they stop.) My other suggestion would be to get a dog whistle and irritate them back. Preferably if they are inside their owner's house at night, then they hear it and start barking....

And if it also sounds like a cricket, it's just his legs rubbing together....

I've thought about doing the dog whistle thing myself before.
Hook it up to an air compressor hose so that it just goes non-stop for hours at a time. |

That only happens when I wear courdoroy. Which is never. Nobody wears courdoroy anymore. |

Nice of him to try, at least, but it's still a nuisance!
Sorry. I'll stick to rants from now on.
That's hilarious. I should try it! I looked into some "birdhouses" that actually make a high-pitched noise when activated by barking. The reviews were mixed so I never got one, but the whistle or vacuum would be a lot cheaper.

You'd want a high frequency sound that humans can't hear. The less obvious you are, the less chance of incoming returned your way. Instead of a compressor, maybe use an aquarium aerator (also quieter on your end. Maybe just plug the whistle into the hose end?) I'd also like to note that I'm not advocating the malicious torturing of animals. The inconsiderate owners, yes.... |

So both Saturday and Sunday as I'm flipping through the channels looking for something to watch. I run across almost identical situations. I DO NOT watch either of these shows. Saturday I hear this woman say something like, "how are we going to tell her she can't keep the cat," so I stop and look. It's one of these "housewife" type reality shows. Well, the stupid, careless parents got their kid a kitten and OMG (you can see this one coming), she's allergic to it. Just P*ssed me off royal--one of my pet peeves. Sunday, same thing only this time it is Kim Kardashi*ss whining, "Well how was I supposed to know I was allergic to cats?" Wah, wah, wah!
This is when I feel like Lewis Black! (If you've never seen Lewis, he should be our mascot for any "rave" forum). Because you stupid B*tch, there are several very easy and even inexpensive ways to find this out! All of this particularly irritates me, is because some people actually watchs these twits and it will make it easy for them to irresponsibly get a pet and then when they don't want it anymore they will use this excuse. It is #1 reason people return pets along with behavior. And poor kitten of KK, she gave it to an assistant or something and a week later it was dead. Seems it had some kind of virus or condition for which there are symptoms that KK should have seen almost from the beginning. A few years ago, KK took someone's unwanted chihuahua even though she doesn't care for dogs (big surprise) but "he's so tiny how much trouble could he be?" She bitched about that dog and tried to make it sound like she was the victim. Yes, I remember stupid, irresponsible crap people do to animals (among other things). Just like Jessica Simpson letting her longtime dog get picked up and carried off by a coyote. Sure, sh*t happens sometimes but it can also be that they are not really paying attention to things about their animals because they are too busy being a BIG

A new study finds that people who are chipper & happy live longer. Which is surprising because people who aren't chipper & happy want to kill people who are always chipper & happy. David Letterman

^ These are the equivalents of people who buy baby chicks for Easter because "they're soooo cute". Very irresponsible. Pets aren't toys. Nor are they tools to teach your child responsibilty. Nor are they expressions of love. Adopting an animal isn't something to be taken lightly. They may not be humans, but they require a lot of the same things.
