I am in need of how exactly to build a transmitter @ 20hz-1KHZ at a
high enough wattage to overcome/overload a simple stereo speaker.
Yes I did mean 20 HERTZ to One Kilo-Hertz.

I have a couple of hundred dollars to spend on this project and also
have a lot of free time these days on my hands.

As far as a electrical power source I have up to the 110 volts coming
into my home as a source and as low as a 1.5 volt battery. I also have
a power supply that mimics a standard car battery's 12 volts of power.

Can one of you get me started with the basics so that I can eventually
build such a device?

It's not for a job or college project and it is simply my need to
understand and learn this concept if possible.

I do know how to read simple, very simple, schematics.

Another Thing: I used a computer program many years ago that simulated
a very simple circuit to check for faults and errors. Does such a
program exist today in the Windows environment for simple designs
which is free or nearly free to troubleshoot the project to save as
much money as possible? I'd hate to spend $100 on parts and have it
blow up just because I made some rookie mistake if you understand what
I mean?

thanks

If this was the wrong thing to do, cross-posting, then please tell me
which newsgroup I should post to in the future.

What makes you think this will work, at any power level ?

So, is this a neighbor that has the volume to loud for you?

Robert,
Could you explain what you mean by "transmitter" in this context, and also
what you mean by "overcome/overload".
20 Hz to 1KHz is only going to get into the speaker through wires. (barring
extreme magnetic energy to pull the cone out at 100 yards:-) )

That's what occurred to me as well.
Here's the boilerplate, filled out:

Your solution advocates a
(x) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based (x) vigilante
approach to solving a problem with a noisy neighbor.

Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work.
(One or more of the following may apply to your idea,
and it may have other flaws.)
(x) Technology doesn't work the way you think it does

Specifically, your plan fails to account for:
(x) Extreme misunderstanding of technology
(x) Lack of susceptibility of the system to your method of attack
(x) Laws already exist that forbid your neighbor from being a jerk
(x) The police don't take kindly to vigilantes
(x) Having assholes arrested works much better

The following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with,
yet none have ever been shown practical
(x) Countermeasures must not affect *other* neighbors' gear

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
( ) We're really close, but still no cigar.
I agree with you're idea in general--maybe one day in the future...
( ) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work
(x) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting
it
( ) Nice try, asshat! I'm going to find out where you live
and burn your house down!

I find that VHF SSB signals are good at doing that. Much, much, much easier
to construct antennas that concentrate their output in a fixed direction at
those frequencies as well. A couple hundred watts and a 12dBi yagi antenna
and you should be set. One more thing, you'll need to obtain a federal
license to do this.

"Transmitter" implies wireless Radio Frequency - possible if you have
the resources of the Navy and wish to communicate with subs
underwater.

Magnetic transmitter - loop around the area you want to pick up a
signal. That is done, is practical, and doesn't require a license.

Don't know what you hope to do with stereo speakers. You want to
disrupt the neighbors stereo? That takes a lot of power if he's using
a CD player - less if he's using a radio - Radio takes a license and
it is illegal to disrupt communications (but it can be fun).

Something like a high energy power supply dumping huge amounts of
power into a tank circuit with a spark gap - might just disrupt a
stereo no matter what the program source.

Just build a Tesla coil and put it near his stereo.

That's what I had in mind, but you shouldn't need the secondary. Some
wannabe media star already demonstrated the coil, spark gap, thing as
working for an EMP "weapon" (by stopping a running car at 40 feet with
a tank circuit)

Because for a few years we had a guy who would drive up and down the
road with an amplified CB radio. This would come through load-n-clear
on any device connected to a speaker as long as it was in the on
position. When the device was off we'd never hear the CB guy talking.

I'm not talking about broadcasting for a large distance. I'd just like
to broadcast 100-200 feet toward the road is all.

No it's those loud bass thumping stereos from cars that drive by, also
the same system for people who live 2 houses away from me.

I have nothing against loud music but this is literally shaking the
entire house, you can feel it deep into your own body. I don't think
that's fair so I'd like to see how they would feel.

If it's ok for them to interfere with me then they should be willing
to let me do the same thing.

I just need less than 200 feet of distance to transmit a simple sin
wave noise overlapping the stereo speakers inside a car driving by the
house.

I fear retaliation if I were to report the noise to the police.
Someone who is already violating a noise ordinance law won't be to shy
from violating yet another law.

Sorry but I fear physical retaliation if I report.

Again, I am not asking to broadcast not more than 200 feet, maybe even
less than that.
Also, not at all hours of the day.

Then what do you call my dozen or so neighbors who think it's ok to
send thumping music to the inside of my home?
I'm talking about sound and bass so loud that it vibrates my own body
and rattles all the windows in my house.

I'm reacting to someone violating me and fail to see how that would
make me a stupid person.

Would you call a victim of an assault stupid for purchasing a gun and
obtaining a conceal and carry permit?


I should have the right to have a quiet setting "inside" my own home.
I am not asking for silence outdoors or anywhere else.

The people who are doing this are gangbangers and would likely
retaliate with violence if they found out I was the one who kept
calling the police.

To start, I shouldn't be the one needing to do anything at all.
Wishing to have a silent 'inside' home is not what I would call a
bizarre concept.

I have to say I'm with you there. I hate those almost sub-audible
repeatable thumping muddy bass notes.

A Tesla Coil driver with high energy PS and spark gap would probably
do it.

I took my hatchet went over to the neighbors and chopped his 220 V
supply at the pole. After all was said and done - I was lucky. No
one pressed charges because they couldn't verify the noise level and
the police never responded to my earlier complaints. The prosecutor
dropped the charges.

As for chopping wires on the pole - DON'T DO IT. I wasted a nice
Swedish steel axe that went cross country with me. The noise and
light show, and satisfaction . . . worth the cost of the axe.

You feel weak and victimized. You are probably smart enough to find a
way around this problem. Try diplomacy - talk to them first - assume
the supplicant position. Never hurts to try. You can always get
nasty if that fails.

Don't threaten - appear reasonable. Work the system if you can.
Get witnesses. The law is there - use it. Don't take "no" for an
answer.

Communications first - we all have to live on this planet. Any time
you need a lawyer to resolve a problem - you've already lost.

Keep your cool, be nice. Don't ever be anything but nice towards
others.

Now if all that fails - there's always really nasty retaliation - you
can easily learn about your neighbors and cause them to lose jobs, cut
their power, wreck their credit, etc., but that's last resort
thinking.

When you get to that stage of thinking you have to consider your own
arrest and incarceration - moving is easier.

I'd fear retaliation from all your other neighbours who would be similarly

Doubtless covered by local laws (national in the UK - you can have your
audio equipment confiscated and destroyed if a regular offender).

** Any mono or stereo audio amplifier would be useable for the (antenna)
driver.
The antenna is a differnt matter - depends on the amount of wire ou
are willing to use, the size of the loop, etc.
Nothing has been said about the receiver: placement, distance, etc.

** Do not need a schematic for an audio amplifier; least expensive is
to use one that you alredy have.

If this is true, then you're dealing with a psychopathic personality.
A radio transmitter won't help. Read this book:
Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us
(1993, 1999) ISBN 978-0671732615

And try to keep your finger off the trigger.

Only because the higher rectification threshold makes it more tolerant.

I've designed pro-audio mixers that we tested for EMC sensitivity in the CB
band by using a handset right next to one. Not a sqeak. It's simply good
(grounding) design that's needed.

As an anti-doof-doof measure what would happen if the incoming doof was fed
via a microphone and low pass filter to a threshold circuit. If the doof
exceeds a the set threshold delay the original recieved doof signal ( xx
milliseconds), amplify it and send it back via a sub-woofer of your own.

They turn it down - the feedback stops....

What would it sound like for the source - unpleasant?

Are you saying that your neighbours, whose homes must be similarly
affected, are quite happy with the situation? There is something
strange going on if that is the case.

maybe you could get a CB? those things don't broadcast at 20-1000Hz
though, they're up around 27Mhz, it's imperfections in the amplifier
that cause the CB transmission to come out the loudspeaker.

so instead you propose to violate a different law in retalliation?

you'd do better to throw a brick with a note through his window.
it's cheaper and you have less chance of being caught.

with that budget I think you'd have to connect the device directly to
the speaker.

I'm not certain what you are trying to achieve. If you are frustrated
by moving noise machines then I don't think a technological solution
will serve you well. anything strong enough to stop them will be illegal
and easily detected.

That simply is not going to work.
You are wasting your time even talking about such an approach.
Where on earth did you get that idea from?

I said nothing about *associating* with them. Just hearing them pass by. The
only blessing is that they'll pay by being deaf by about 30.

That's ok, drive through a parking lot and key up on the 2m band and
you'll set off pretty much every car alarm you drive by.

I know it used to be prevalent with Ford vehicles since they used TRW

We have a "deaf guy" who thumps as he drives around

For the protection of you and your neighbours
it's been known to install an exterior smoke
detector, that requires a lead into the interior
for the test control.
Loud noise has been known to activate an SD,
which you can 'test' for.
Legally defensive counter noise is an option.

Well, in retrospect, guns _have_ served us well and they continue to.

Early on, when we audaciously wanted freedom from British oppression and
couldn't gain it using polite discourse, we used the gun to gain our
freedom.

Then, at your request and through two world wars, we also used the gun
to help quell the histrionics which perpetually plagued Europe and which
eventually brought you all to the modicum of civility which has allowed
you to become the United States of Europe, begrudgingly a model of the
United States of America.

It's so good to know we have 100,000,000 on the side of noise

peace.

It was a elec question until someone CHANGED the subject [not me]


Hope the ones who thinks this is a joke gets a few drive-by thumping
stereos like I do more than 100 times a night.

As I said, calling the cops would result it NOTHING. And if they did

It's not an electrical question any more because it can't be done.

We always laugh at morons who want to do the impossible. A single
wavelength at 20 Hz is 15,000,000 meters. A quarter wave antenna would
be 3,750,000 (Ignoring the velocity factor of the wire). Can you build
an antenna that size, and one on the moving vehicle?

If there are really 100 per night, the police department would have
had thousands of phone calls by now so it's time to petition the local
government to pass a noise ordinance, or to enforce the existing
laws...there you go.

So, it's ok to use EMP which is more likely to takes out other
electronics that use legal means? Even if it destroys someone's
pacemaker, or other life critical electronics? What a low life coward.

Road spikes would be much more satisfying if you want to go the
illegal route.

Then get a gun, and when you hear them coming down the street, you
confront them with this 12-gauge or whatever, and say, "Keep the noise
down."

If they don't turn it down or off, start shooting up their car.

Good Luck!

I know cell phone blockers are sold legally. I just thought a similar

I wasn't interested in some sinister plan to rule the world.

Why are people suggesting I commit a Felony when at best I wanted to
commit a low level mistaminer<sp> ???

I was serious in my request for help.

And moving isn't a financial option.

I've tried to ignore the noise but everyone has a breaking point.

One of my neighbors [three houses away] IS a police officer for my
city. He has lived there more than 5 years so far and not only has the
noise not stopped it has gotten louder and more of a deeper bass.

With that scenario...what now?

Hardly. Someone better not have an accident and not be able to call
911 either. Your ass will be nailed to their lawyer's door.

If you believe that blocking communications is legal, who knows what
foolish plans you have.

With that attitude you might as well just give up. If you don't know
how to move up the food chain, you have no hope. I've had noise
problems, and got them stopped. I've sued politicians and won, as
well. Either you want to stop it and are willing to work for it, or you
aren't. As far as the cop not doing his job, he would have been named
in the lawsuit.

Sorry but things aren't like the movies in my world. I would likely
receive a beating or even be murdered if I took on gang controlled
areas of town or took on the police department.

Sometimes fighting is far more dangerous than letting it go.

I've known people who simply went to those neighborhood meetings to
discuss the lack of police action. They soon found out that was a bad
idea. Soon they were being pulled over left and right for minor
offences and lost a lot of money. Can you imagine the reaction if I
named them in a lawsuit or went on TV and put down those same cops?

I just wanted to do something to disrupt the people clearly violating
the noise laws we have on the books.

I now know this was not and is not the place to as this 'specific'
question.

I will no longer ask anything about this 'specific' topic here.

These should be satisfactory to all who are here.

Do you really think they wouldn't find out who did it if it was
possible? Or that they wouldn't burn out a couple city blocks to make
sure they got you?

Fraid not, legal or illegal.
You'd better find another way to solve your problem.
