File: fucking dog.gif (2.53 MB, 374x264)
2.53 MB GIF
So my neighbors sold their house, and an old lady with her probably 45 year old cave man looking neet son moved in next door.
Today seems to be their first day to actually live in the house, and their dog is in the back yard just fucking blasting.
I went to meet them and say hi and mentioned the dog in passing, and they just kind of said hehe yeah he likes to bark.
I want to stop this shit right now, hopefully without getting the cops involved.
My first idea is maybe a loud speaker pointing at their house connected to a raspberry pi with a microphone that blasts dog barks loud as fuck pointed at their House every time the rpi detects a dog bark.
Kind of like a jeet shaker but more advanced.
Btw I'm a cripple in a wheelchair, and not going to be able to do anything crazy, so I have to either do this passive aggressive as fuck or something...
anyone have any ideas?

i'd prefer to avoid that kek.
im pretty bored so making a jeet shaker for dogs sounds fun to me.

I'm thinking something like this and with a power amp, so I don't hear it but it nukes them with barking.

i was gonna type out a long reply about my direct experience with this exact problem but you sound like a miserable antisocial twat so youll inevitably piss them off and then have to live with petty shithead aggression as long as youre neighbors. so enjoy that
so you might as well escalate straight to a code offense report tomorrow

how about you quit being a faggot and just type out your reply about your direct experience and help me out.

just be polite and ask them to take the dog in ya dingus
extract the ladys phone number in a friendly manner and call her when the fuckers barking and politely ask her to take it in
after about 5 phone calls at 0dark:30 hours of the night she might get it their her head
or just hope she gets ill/croaks and whoever is dealing with the caretaking/estate matters gets rid of the annoying fucking mutt

I like dogs but I hate dog owners.

Parents of humans see the world as an evil place and they must protect their child.

Dog "parents" see the world as a place where they must enforce their dog's civil rights to do WTF it wants.
>>
Have you tried giving the dog a day or two to settle into his brand new fucking environment so that everything isn't brand new and overstimulating before getting on 4Chan and bitching like a little keyboard warrior to strangers online??? Oh I guess not.

Maybe try that first.
>>
>>2996842
The sounds of another dog barking will kust made the dog bark more you fuckin retard.

Go on amazon and and just search "ultrasonic anti bark".
The exact thing you need already exists, you buy it and put it up facing the location of the barking dog.
It shuts the dog up without bothering anybody.

Talk to your neighbor before going autistic passive aggressive or code enforcement, pussy.

On a positive a barking dog is nigger repellent.

You could try an anti-bark sound device or something like that.

My neighbors across the street also have an annoyingly loud dog that will legit bark nonstop for like 15 minutes at a time. To be fair there are other dogs further away that I can only faintly hear which are probably setting it off.

I greet the owners with a wave if I see them but I don't talk to them like I do my other neighbors. They seem a little asocial. I've considered talking to them about it but I don't really know what I'd ask of them.
>Can you not be a shitty dog owner and train your dog to not be so reactive the way you're supposed to?
>Can you not be a shitty dog owner and actually take your dog on walks and provide enrichment instead of just keeping it in the backyard all day so it stays stressed 24/7?

There are animal nuisance ordinances in my city so I sent an email to the animal control department, not that I expected anything to come of it. They're supposed to investigate and issue a citation for dogs that bark or harass pedestrians but in typical city worker fashion they never did.

This whole experience has really made me hate dog owners.
>>
>>2996922

If you mess with people's peace and quiet you should expect them to take any action they see fit, including involving authorities. Just because you're a brownoid faggot who loves constant loud noises doesn't mean everyone around you has to tolerate it.

ok ur right anon, im back on the jeet shaker for dog moms to stay legal.
instead of an ultrasonic thing to blast the dog, we use the directional speaker to blast the dog owner.
when their dog barks we send the most annoying sound ever for .5 seconds.
anyone got any ideas for the most annoying sound ever?
dumb and dumber most annoying sound?
idk.
>>
>>2996842
I too am suffering from a recent dog being loud, probably gonna make an LRAD that is like 200 watts at 20khz and have it go off every time they bark, either they will shut the fuck up or they will bark even harder which is also fine too, if they bark literally non stop for days on end the county can finally do something
>>
>>2997640
>>2997093
>make it worse

Typically means you've got the sensitivity too high and you're just subjecting the dog to constant ultrasonic torture.

To be effective you gotta get it dialed in to where it ONLY goes off when the dog barks. Then, unless the dog is completely retarded (or dead), it eventually learns that bark = painful sound.
>>
>>2997648
>dead
I meant deaf ... but that too I guess.
>>
>>2997647
>200 watts at 20khz
Be careful with this. It will damage people's inner ears.
Believe me. Just because we can't hear ultrasounds, that doesn't mean they don't inflict damage. Just like UV light. We can't see it, but it will cause damage.
And in the case of ultrasounds with that power, the damage is permanent
>>
>>2996842
A piece of meat with a pill of melatonin inside. That will make the dog relax and maybe go to sleep.
Don't know if this will solve the problem long term, though.
Try to smash the pill into a powder and mix it with the meat.
Start maybe with 1mg melatonin.
Of course , the best solution would be if your neighbors stopped being inconsiderate jerks.
I've had this problem before with several neighbors and I just lost hope in people. Like some anon said itt, I've learned to hate dog owners
>>
On a related note, how can I get MY dog not to bark/be so reactive? He's very calm except when he thinks there's someone outside. Unfortunately, my house has shit windows so he hears everything and always thinks someone is outside.
He is trained to stop when I tell him "Shut the fuck up", but the barking is a problem when he decides to bark at 5 am. I have to physically get up to stop him. By that time he already woke everyone up

before you say "no that will never happen" a guy in my neighborhood was feeding cats antifreeze because of his (illegal btw) free range chickens and they locked his ass up
When you do stupid shit like this you have to weigh the potential consequences. Is getting rid of one barking dog worth the possibility of a worse barking dog? What if they get a husky next? What if they catch you throwing the poison? What if they have cameras?
Is it worth the worst case scenario? No. No it is not.
Just fucking call code enforcement, OP, most places have a nusiance dog barking ordinance

It's just excited because it just moved. It'll probably be fine and it'll die in a few years anyway.
>>
>>2996842
easy enough
buy a salt lick also known as a cow lick
put it in their yard somewhere that won't be immediately noticed if possible
dog will lick it and within a month its kidneys will explode
it definitely works, i used this method to get rid of my neighbours cockapoo or whatever the fuck its called, some degenerate mutt breed with the poodle as a base mix
whiny yappy little shit they got while they didn't have kids and then constantly dumped in the garden after having kids because they didn't want it anymore
deposited a salt lick into the bush they had in the garden and let nature take its course, dogs love salty things after all
best done during a heatwave for maximum effect
>>
Dog people think they are so cute.
>>
OP HERE
good news everyone, the old cunt neighbor is just an old bitch that lives with her son, who is an upstanding gentlemen.
he finally moved in after about a week, and shut his dogs up and apologized for his stupid ass bitch mom.
apparently they moved from a big ranch in the middle of cali
the dogs were fine as soon as he finally moved in and shut their dumb asses up.
thankfully i didnt have to get crazy.
btw the ultrasonic things are a waste of money, they dont work for shit no matter what setting you use.

how do i get rid of birds? they chirp so loudly at like 3-4am start. and theres a bunch of em flying about on my house, window, etc... just constantly chirping forever annoying, not even pretty chirps... i should put something in blueberries or something.. ?
>>
>>2998168
You were lucky this time
>>
>>2998193
>they chirp so loudly at like 3-4am start.

close all doors and windows
if it's hot, install AC
sound of AC will mask any bird noises that make it through windows
>>
>>2998193
I'm guessing you live in the city, where bird are awake 24/24
>>
>>2998193
I have this problem with mocking birds. The solution? A white noise machine helps drown out the sound and I sleep much better now.

The downside is now it's hard for me to sleep without the machine.
>>
>>2996842
My man just steal the dog then drive it 20 miles away and dump it.

>>2996842
>Dog barks constantly
Is this a city/suburban problem? I live in the sticks with wild animals everywhere, shit is always noisy.
It must be suburban specific though because I did live in a city for a few years and blacks/brown having yelling level conversations a block away from each other in the wee hours was constant. It was the only time I used noise cancelling headphones and ear plugs constantly at home. Sony noise cancelling headphones are pretty amazing, I didn't hear the hood rats blasting each other to shit just a couple hundred feet from my house (over "disrespect", I'm sure).

God damn, hearing bull frogs, gators, bobcats, foxes, and incessant insects is like lullaby music compared to those days.

i have the same problem. i have misophonia. no i'm not a snowflake about it, loud sounds are fucking annoying everyone knows this is true this is just the fancy word to describe it. affects 1 in 4 people. there is no cure. therapy maybe but i think that's bullshit. i usually end up in a screaming rage as a reaction to certain noises. if that sounds familiar then welcome to the fucking club. no i'm not a raging asshole, loud is often fun, certain things are really not.

i'm not killing the dog because i'm not going back to jail and no it wont solve the problem. i hate ALL dogs but i specifically hate toy breeds. their existence is already the result of an ignorant and inhumane practice by retards convinced it's not and they are also extremely dumb animals that cannot be trained to stop being pussy ass little niggas that bark all day yet fuck off if you approach em.

i'd suggest get close with the neighbor and the dog itself. realize that when it is barking, it's not barking at (You), that helped me somewhat. i've pet the ugly ass thing, it's licked my fingers, but that's about it. i'm working up the courage to give it a chew toy. it doesn't deserve a cent of my money. i'm going to give it one i found in the street.

i have not yet accepted the fact that this fucker barks at everything that moves. that is the fault of the ignorant ass owners. they're using it as a redneck doorbell. if i get closer to them i will mention all of this. i'm going to wait until i catch them both and the dog outside to give them the chew toy. women are always the reason these dogs are about and they're easier to manipulate, so think of something to make her feel really bad. you can use my story.

loud music for the time being. i don't really like loud music anymore but it works for me.

if the dog is barking between 9pm-9am, where i live that is actually a legally enforceable issue, but the owner is gonna find out it's you that started it so dont bother with B before doing A
>>
>>2999628
>misophonia
When did this start and what kind of noises do you hate the most?
For me, it started around when I was 30. The most annoying noises are those that are impulsive. By that, I mean something like someone slams a door or sets a pan down on the counter. This is more aggravating when it happens late at night, after 10-11pm. Sometimes, I can't help but to scream a bunch of f**** and s**** and other nice words
>>
>>2999677
Not op, but bass music from neighboring houses drives me insane. I can feel the thumping from every corner of my house and there's absolutely nothing to block it. Talking to neighbors does nothing, cops do nothing.

when i was 12 i realized my agitation from sitting around family dinners was because my dad and most of the people in my immediate family were really loud eaters, and they also barely spoke to each other, so there was never any sound to cover it up. just a silent room full of old people eating loudly, smacking their lips, chewing and burping. physically revolting. i had to cover my ears and shut my eyes. at a certain point i had to eat in different rooms, and everyone thought i was crazy and needed psychologists.

they used my sister to judge me as a baseline, because "same parent same brain", because they're retarded. it's a catastrophically inaccurate conclusion to jump to in psychology.

it also turned out to be the reason why i always hated babies and dogs, because they're loud as fuck for no reason. when they're just sitting there doing nothing i don't mind them.

i cannot handle things like being in loud crowds. such as being in a loud restaurant where everyone is being loud because everyone else is being loud, it's circular logic, and it's nonsense. everyone just needs to shut their entire fuck up to reset the volume level. i can completely handle being in a loud concert venue, because that's the point of being in a concert hall, and typically, people follow performance cues and know when to shut their entire fuck up. if the pre-show goes on for too long, or the show gets delayed, and the crowd starts to get rowdy, then i start getting really agitated. there is a powerlessness to a situation like that. i've paid probably a significant amount to be there, unlike a restaurant, and i can't move because i'll lose my spot at the show, so i shove my ear plugs in and start imagining driving a bulldozer through the venue like hanatarash.

on that note i do have a history of enjoying harsh noise music, so it's not that i can't handle loud sounds, just very specific ones, sounds which are inconsistent, dissonant, or like you said, not necessary nor consensual
>>
>>2999707
cont

i also recall being really fucking agitated in school whenever someone came to school sick and sniffed at random intervals, it fucked up my test scores massively because i couldn't concentrate.

i pretty much bombed the SATs because of that, because it was a room of like 300 people and like 5 of them were sick all sniffling at different intervals and volumes and distances from me. i wanted to fucking murder all of them.

i was allowed to bring my CD player to class for tests in some classes because some teachers understood what i meant (i was still telling them it was ADD as that was more understood 20 yrs ago) but that wasn't gonna fly for the SATs, so i sat there angry for two hours or whatever, fucked it all up, left, and never looked at the results.

Misophonia sucks OP, sorry to hear. My family would do the same at dinner, and my dad thought it was funny to torment me so he'd follow me around eating cereal and loudly clanging the spoon on the bowl because it would agitate me greatly. It diminishes my quality of life moreso than people who don't have to deal with it would ever expect.

For your problem with the dog, I recommend getting a good, high-pitched dog whistle and wailing on that thing as SOON as you hear a bark. Shit hurts the dogs ears, and the geriatric owner won't be able to hear it because they're too old. You're effectively training the dog from a distance not to bark or it gets the whistle. Another alternative is a high-frequency sound cannon aimed at their house where the dog barks on a remote trigger with a locally running ai model hooked up to a microphone that will automatically play a highpitched sound whenever the dog barks automatically, but that is a lot more complex than buying a whistle.

Garbage dog owners are the worst, my sympathies.

misophoniabros. I didn't know until recently that you *develop* misophonia due to stimuli and that ends up being the sound you hate, which explains why the sounds of people eating drives me up the wall.

Wait until they are not home, let the dog out. Dog runs away retarded and happy, not barking any more. Solved. If they confront you with camera footage say you thought it was hurt and went to look.
