@burko73 that is horrific! I would be complaining to environmental health given that you've tried to sort it amicably and got nowhere.
Just did a quick look at these products on Amazon and one of the reviews says:
Great if you want to upset your neighbours or teenagers with sensitive hearing. My wife couldn’t hear it but my neighbour across the road had a meltdown and my teenage son threatened to smash it if I didn’t turn it off.
Didn’t even find out if it works on cats!
There do seem to be some with a sensor that triggers the sound on movement, maybe worth suggesting to them but it sounds like they don't really care anyway.
I feel like it's the kind of thing that could be stressful even if you can't/can barely hear it, what a horrible concept - like permanent tinnitus whenever you use your garden 🙁
Mrsmf insisted on buying one of those things once, under the guise of a 'dog bark trainer', which did nothing to deter the animals it was meant to deter from barking, in fact they seemed to get annoyed and bark even more, on top of it being massively irritating for humans (i.e. me).
If you nip round and detach the speaker they will never know, not that I'm recommending such behaviour.
Its always disappointing when those that live around you have no consideration. If you want parties every few weeks, move into the middle of nowhere.
My next door neighbours have one of those sex baths. They used to quite often be in it until the early hours. Not a major drama, until they get boozy, have friends in it and decide to shout over the sound of the pump. That was until one evening i had had enough, swung open the bedroom window and shouted at them to 'shut the F-up'. Which they replied 'OK'. I proceeded to tell them it wasnt ok and they had no consideration for anyone else.
Needless to say, they are much more considerate when using it now.
I am all for people enjoying themselves, life is too short. But dont do it at the determent of those around you. Unfortunately, as life seems to be more and more these days, some people are just weapons grade nobheads.
There was a thread (on here I think) where a sound engineer installed some kit and at the designated time started playing the noise back to them very with a slight delay making it sound rubbish. I always thought it was a great solution "I am only playing the same stuff as you at the same volume, why is that an issue?"
Putting 2 and 2 together, why not just buy a deer scarer from the tax fiddling website of choice and install it to be on when your neighbour has young uns around? Same principle as the Mosquito anti loitering device.

Or, buy several deer and set them loose on the neighbours property at night. They make a huge mess.

You mean this.
And it was glorious.

It has been deployed several times since. In fact one of the neighbours told a friend who then commissioned our sound engineer neighbour to do the same thing at the bottom of his garden to affect reduction in weekly piss ups that were annoying him.
I'll ask him exactly how he did it, but as far as I could see the kit was microphones on tripods, a pair of naff off speakers also on tripods, an amp, and his laptop.
Expanding foam will sort it out ,

Next party an anonymous call to police saying there is a group session in the hot tub with people who appear to be young teenagers…
...and someone who you believe to be Michael Barrymore has been seen lurking around.
Do you have to be in the fetid sex pond to contribute to its fetidness or could it be added to from outside it's slurried confines?
Try living in a mid terrace with a neighbour off his face reliving the 90s at 2am.
16th birthday party on a Saturday night can be tolerated no?
Depends, do I need to be up for a shift at the back of six? Any neighbors on call firemen or such? I don't care who or why, there's no need to be carrying on at that time in a residential area. I've done my share of partying but after midnight we cut the loud shit out.

Yep the deer scarer is slowly driving me nuts. Lucky it’s been such rubbish weather. I’ve thought about climbing over and doctoring it but getting caught, they may have a camera, isn’t going to help.
It does have a movement trigger setting but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know how it works or just doesn’t give a sh&t as she can’t heAr it she just thinks I’m nuts. The kids hate it and it must irritate them as I thought my hearing wasn’t great and it irritates me.
I might get a catapult and fire a frozen sausage at it!
