The high pitched constant ringing sound in my house is amplified when the night tariff kicks in from 10-7 every night, Hey! no smart meter here!!!!!!!!Is there maybe some Government conspiracy we haven,t been told about or is F!@#%g sound causing some long term serious mental disturbances
Ring me,
Present resonance

I AM technically challenged so please be basic with your answers as I will try to understand without many more questions. Here is my situation and why I came to this site searching for answers.

I have a horrible neighbor and we’ve had our words on many occasions over loud music. I think she has discovered a LOW BUDGET way to get even with me and I need your help in figuring out what she is doing.

She leaves her house in 30 minute intervals (she does not have a real job), so I assume her devise must be either reset every 30 minutes or maybe she can’t stand experiencing it herself. I DO NOT live in an apartment but in a neighborhood where the WOOD FRAME homes are in VERY close proximity to each other (less than 50 feet). Moments before she drives away, my ears start ringing which reminds me of how I feel the day after going to a really loud concert the night before. After a few minutes, my ears will pop with pressure as if I am in an airplane or I can feel/hear a pulsating pressure that does not diminish with ear plugs. Although this may sound really off base, I seem to feel real gittery as if my nervous system is being effected and an increase in my heartrate. If it goes on long enough, I can also feel a tingling feeling throughout my body and a cold chill sensation up my spine. All these sensations intensify almost as if the volume is being increased the longer it goes.

It must be something that is being pointed or directed to my house in some fashion since I physically DO NOT hear any audible sound even if I walk outdoors to try and determine what I am feeling.

It is like the sound/pressure is a sound that is only audible to my inner ear and can’t be heard the traditional way.

Please, please help me. What is the devise or creation she is using? BTW, she is no technical genius herself yet she does have a boyfriend that is the handyman type, so I guess he could build something on this order.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

It might just curb the urge to party quite so hard. If anyone knows where I could buy such a device, I would appreciate the info. Thanks!

Sorry if everything in the world isn’t as serious as you.

always after 15 minutes the teacher went out with headache and we were… free!

Best one was a real zippy sounding circuit cannibalized from a remote control locater. I hid it inside a frosted light bulb. It triggered when light dropped below a threshold, night with lights off. I wanted to make it charge parasitically off the mains when the lights were on, but none of the components would fit past the neck of the glass. Given as a gift to my buddy Carlos to thwart his roommates that never do basic household maintainance, such as changing light bulbs.

Tippy did it the easy way in the ’80s by pulling the sound unit out of an electronic birthday card. It’s difficult to pinpoint because it’s placed out of line-of-sight, so the sound has to spread, and the square-wave electronic notes have a lot of high-frequency harmonics, so your ears can’t lock onto the direction because you can’t resolve the phase differences, a prime component of stereo/directional hearing.

this is pathetic. might as well start showcasing “how to h4x your friends aol” cause thats just about as mature and just about as much of a “hack”

pathetic.

It was always associated with other phreaking boxes, but had nothing to do with phones?! The signal freq was adjustable… the idea was you set it below what was audible, and it would cause headaches to people in the room. It was quite annoying.

I don’t think it was quite 17khz (probably somewhere between that and 16khz) because my forty something year old dad was able to hear it. I made it in 8th grade and hid it behind the blinds of one of the windows in the class room. Two of the other students finally found it.
