[concerned]

Hello all,

This is my first time post but I can see from reading the forums that the standard of help here is excellent. I was just wondering if any of you fine people could help me with my current home problem.

Could I first direct your attention to the below thread:

https://www.electronicspoint.com/noisy-neighbour-punisher-t222813.html

Our problem is almost exactly the same, and a genious device such as this would be a great way to combat the noise!

I have alittle electronics knowhow and the actual assembly of the equipment should not be too difficult, however I'm not sure where I can place it so that it wouldn't be too conspicuous. If the original author of the thread, Bracken, could get in touch that would be excellent.

The only thing that troubles me is the legality of it, do any of you know what the law would demand in Manchester, UK?

Your help would be very much appreciated,

Robert

Since you're in the UK you could probably just wait till they both go to work in the morning and then move in!

What you're describing sounds very like a home-brewed version of the commercially-available "Mosquito Device." The site discusses the legality of the device in the UK in some detail.

Maybe check the frequency and volume that these folks use; if your box is no louder, it should be just as legal. You could just buy one of theirs, but they start at around £300, which strikes me as a bit dear for a buzzer.

In the 'States

As much as I admire noise making devices I'd hate to think that your situation escalate to the point of violence. In the 'States, after trying to personally resolve the matter fails, the next course of action would be to contact the local constabulary. Should that fail the next recourse would be to seek legal counter measures. Are these perpetrators renters? Then go after the owners.
