A shrill noise that makes people nauseous? Sounds more like a cable news channel to me.

This is the important part from the article:

This neighbor guy is a bit of a psychopath.

But the writer is the one who thinks his neighbor is beaming UHF into his head?

Your crazy neighbor just wants you to think it's him. It's really the lizard people using their hypersonic mind drill to steal your thoughts. Human thoughts are like candy to them.

It's likely that the neighbour is using something like the mosquito to keep the damn kids off his lawn.

I like how one guy responded by giving examples of what cops hear on the job from 'signal 20' types.

"The NAACP is 'booming' me with low-frequency soundwaves whenever I poop. I feel it in my legs right when I let go."

They probably unwittingly have a fear cage in their house...or tons of chemicals in their basement near an air vent.

In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules.....

If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm
simultaneously
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter.
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible,
but do not panic.....

Use your wheels. It is what they are for.
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons,
which should be left if possible, in a shelter.
Do not attempt to use your own limbs.
If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs
should be employed whenever possible.....

Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack, Survival means every man for himself.
Statistically more people survive if they think only of themselves.
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, loved ones.
You have only a few seconds to escape.
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die.
Do not panic.
Think only of yourself....

These are the first signs of Sonic Attack:
You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating.
You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm.
You will hear a distant hissing in your ears.
You will feel dizzy.
You will feel the need to vomit.
There will be bleeding from orifices.
There will be an ache in the pelvic region.
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter.

These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction.
Your only real protection is flight.
If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use
your cocoon.
But remember:
You can help no-one else, No-one else, No-one else......

Someone needs to suggest to this guy to contact the FCC. They are the ones that "police" the airwaves and this sounds like the guy is in violation. I cannot at this time spend 5 bucks to help this user. Is anyone here a member? If so could you pass this along?

I love that the cops played along with the crazy guy. "Yeah, sure, Buddy. We hear it too."

I once spent a good hour helping my crazy old lady neighbor find the source of this high frequency buzzing whine that had been driving her nuts (well, more nuts) all day. I couldn't hear a thing, but she swore she could. I admit, I was humoring her. Turns out, she was telling the truth. Her hearing aid was malfunctioning. I felt bad.

Not to be a wet blanket, but these people are complaining about a high-frequency sound device, which is a real thing you can buy to torture your neighbors.

These are intended for use by shops to keep teenagers from loitering in front---the sound is most annoying to young people, and inaudible to many people over 30---but occasionally a crotchety old man buys one and blasts pain into the neighborhood.

This isn't the first time I've seen an advice thread about exactly this phenomenon: old dude gets into fights with neighbors, calls police and code enforcement over everything he can think of, and then discovers and installs a loud audio torture device.

The best advice I heard was to simply look for the device if it is installed outside, and stab the speaker cone with a knitting needle. The dude won't know it's not working, because he can't hear the sound.

Must be all the EM radiation. If only they lived in a nice sunny field somewhere with no neighbors, and skylights.

Probably got to worry about that dihydrogen monoxide poisoning too Must be the toxins.

I think the only way to make the FCC care is if the UHF signal was sending curse words and titties through the air.

It can't be stressed enough how important it is to have the shiny side pointing out. This is needed because the shiny side is most reflective to psychotronic radiation, while the dull side can actually, in certain environmental conditions, absorb it.

Having read the article, he might not actually be crazy. A little technically inept, perhaps, not not crazy.

The device he's talking about sounds like a low-frequency audio device, not a high-frequency radio device. Unlike the radio thing, the audio thing is quite plausible: you could build a crude one yourself with a really good subwoofer and an old Primestar dish. Then you slow down some audio just past the point where you can't hear it anymore, crank the volume up to 11, and let 'er rip: the mad scientist in my head would use Alvin and the Chipmunks for irony value, but any sound will do.

If you've ever felt a really close thunderclap or a really strong bass line in music, rather than heard them (or possibly at the same time), that's the principle this works on.

Remember, if you're "nauseous", you cause nausea in others. If you're "nauseated" you feel nausea yourself. So I don't doubt this story.
