I've heard in the news this morning that some shops in England are equiped with a system making a nasty loud treble sound, in order to make groups of chavs standing in front the shop go away. They also said only people under 25 years old could hear it. Is that really true ?? That's scary. |

a chav deterrent? people under 25 deterrent? i want one for my apartment (it cant work on young girls though, they're yummy) |

this equipment costs around 900€... to make people above 25 run away, two loudspeakers and some merzbow blasting are the best solution |

I would propably feel old if I wasn't able to hear those noises |
||||||||

this is a fact. i read about this a while ago. for some reason, once you pass a certain age, your ears don't pick up on as many frequencies as before. |

use heavy bass for old people. always work. it destoys their bone structure. |

personally i don't see the point, as it just gives the yoofs something else to throw bricks at. |

"The only problem is that the youths have moved on and are now causing trouble elsewhere! " This sentences sums up the situation very well... |

i think more abortions would head this whole issue off at the pass |

Yes, shop in my town where chav kids hang round outside was the first in the country to have one. It's pretty stupid, because I've got fairly high freq. hearing (I can actually hear bat's "radar" sound) and it irritates me when I go into the shop (although you can only hear it outside) and dissuades me from shopping there. The bloke who makes them came across as a bit of a cunt in an interview I saw and he actually uses his own children to callibrate the things. Personally, if I was a chav kid, I'd just chuck bricks at the thing until it shut up. As combo says, it only makes them go elsewhere. So, other shops have to buy them and once they've stopped hanging around outside shops (or the nippers learn the hi-freq blocking merits of ear plugs), the parks/carparks/bus stops where they'll congregate instead will need to buy them. Bit of a moneyspinner for the bloke making them really. I'd be suprised if some smartarse doesn't take them to court as a breach of human rights. It's "broadcast" from the front of the shop, but you can hear it in the bus stop right outside. I'd be well pissed off with it if I was a teenager legitmately catching a bus, with nothing to do with the shop and I was subjected to the noise. |

Its wierd that teenagers hang out in front of stores. I know that junkies like to hang out in front of stores and in store alcoves and such. I would be a lot more worried about junkies than teenagers, as junkies generally need to find one way or another to make their money to buy drugs, and that usually isn't going to work. It would be funny if the one thing that was detering the neighboorhood junkies from panhandling and breaking into the store was all the teenagers that were hanging out front. |

I was also thinkin' there must be something illegal about that... I mean, if I take my monitors out the window and start blastin' the street, sure something wrong will happen to me... |

Generally when you remove one thing from an ecosystem, something else moves into its place. |

Yep. Why not play a ghettoblaster really loud with something annoying on loop right outside the store (for example, in the bus stop I was talking about), when they ask you to turn it down, ignore them. When they call the police, point out the police that the store is doing the same thing to you. The shop concerned is in a residential area. Can you imagine if you were a teenager living next door and could hear the high pitched whine every time you opened the window? |

i think it's cool to treat them like animals |

and by animals, you mean, like shit. |

Bear in mind that 90%+ of the people who can hear this are legitimate users of the shop/surrounding area and only a small number cause trouble. Rather than a blanket approach of rough "justice" like this, you think it would be better for the police to just deal with the ones who were being anti-social. If it was any other minority group (other than perhaps the elderly) that were being discriminated against in this way, people would be up in arms. |

yesyes, but they should just walk on, it's just a few seconds inconvenience then if it was your (old) tv doing this i bet you'd sit through it for watching that great show you want to see anyway it's hard to battle stuff like this, people get in arms about bans on flocking together on the street (dont know the english term) even more (rightfully so imo) also the shopowner doesn't have any obligation to society to handle this nicely, or to worry about them going elsewhere: i don't blame him at all for doing this it is a real crappy solution but therefor a signal as well |

"yesyes, but they should just walk on, it's just a few seconds inconvenience then" My point was/is that the sound isn't just audible on the shop owners premises. It doesn't even just cover the ground immediately outside his front door. If it can be heard in a bus stop right outside, people waiting for the bus have no option but to endure it. As a teenager I had to use buses; it was my only way of getting around. I wouldn't want a kid who is causing no problem, just sitting waiting for his bus to be subjected to this noise. With regard to "if it was your (old) tv doing this i bet you'd sit through it for watching that great show you want to see anyway" I have to disagree. If the effect is so minor and easy to ignore, it wouldn't be so effective at making the kids move on. The whole point is that it is irritating to the point of causing discomfort. |

well maybe when it's a sheltered busstop the shelter stops you from hearing the sounds.. |

Wow, I really managed to mess up my use of italics in that post. |

Knowing me, I'd stand outside, call it music, and then get called a freak, while throwing the plans of selling this little box nationwide out the windo. |

This is horsecrap. Ceri has many good points here. You shouldnt be able to do this because it will affect people in a vacinity. I too have hyper style hearing. I would seriously destroy this thing. Unfair to the general public in an eearshot range. |

This is the biggest load of cock-shot I've ever heard. Whoever the fuck markets these things might as well had said the following: "This device magically deters teenagers from your store. Or anyone else for that matter." gay |

| |||||||||
|

I was actually looking at buying the house next door to this shop earlier today. Couldn't hear it in the house, but in the garden, particularly the front, I could hear it. Fuckers put a cage around the thing to stop people smashing it up. I reckon a letter about this duplicated and sent to the council, spar, local paper and the estate agent should get it removed (not that I'm particularly keen on the house, it's just the principle of the thing). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that wont help anything, even if it got removed |

Eh? Be more specific. |
