To play high pitched sounds at shitty neighbours?

Somebody talk me down
Our neighbours both sides are home to pretty shitty inconsiderate teens but one side in particular is awful. The shouting and screaming at each other in the garden continuously goes on til all hours.

Our baby is not sleeping well at all and toddler hasn’t for a really long time it’s such a racket.
Kids next door at 10.30pm have just gone out onto their trampoline and started screaming again.
parents don’t care.

is there a noise I can play that is high pitched and would piss off teenagers in the same way that people sometimes play sounds to repel cats?

im going mad aren’t I

It would also be heard by your baby so, no

there is a sound that’s used to deter teens, would going out and screaming at them like a crazed banshee work? A person can only put up with so much & you sound pretty close to your limit so YANBU.

Close your windows and set off a couple of stink bombs

Bagpipes at 6am is a good idea....

Feel for you. Next door neighbours are like this.
Grandkids screeching at the top of their voices in the garden like toddlers even though they are around 5 and 9 yrs old. I know my BH will be ruined because of them as they never go out and instead just scream in the garden all day. It's horrendous and I understand how you feel.

This. Yes there is a device but it would also annoy baby. Sorry

Classical music is known to be an effective repellent - it's used in places like bus stations to encourage teenagers to fuck off home not hang around. Doesn't have to be excessively loud, just some Bach, Vivaldi or maybe Purcell.

I am in my late 40s and can hear them. Some dipstick neighbors have it on a sensor on their front door which is activated even if you are across the road.

It is horrendous on my noise sensitive child also. I would go old school hoover at craic of dawn!

My work play classical music to deter any anti-social behaviour as apparently it has been proven to work in trials. Maybe try that? Also my kids love to fall asleep to classical too so may help in both situations.
