Here's what I have sourced so far.

Crown 20 watt horn speaker.

>>2554509
small bluetooth amp I intend to connect to a phone playing the audio files.

Dog is approximately 25 feet away from my door which I will be mounting the speaker on.

>>2554507
You are going to get your ass sued. Have fun.

>>2554509
This type of speaker will not be very effective at reproducing ultrasonic frequencies. You need something like a tweeter or piezoelectric transducer.
Of course, there's always the final solution

>>2554535

Your reply resembles those retarded children on the playground. "My dad will sue your dad!"

I reside in a 3rd world country. There is no justice system here. I would have poisoned the thing except I was trying to be decent, and now I have alerted my neighbor so I'm sure he would try to retaliate if he found his dog dead.

>>2554540
See my last post. It's a bit too late to poison it and I dont have access to its water dish for that cocktail.

I was going to lob a few Xylitol stuffed meatballs into its cage. I've already done some research on poisoning dogs because the noise is unbearable.

Thanks for the advice on speakers, I'll look into piezoelectric

>>2554540
these are 150watts, looks like i'll need a bigger amp.

Anyone know at what point this will cause permanent damage to the dog?

>>2554541
>>2554543
based. btw they make electronic devices for just this purpose. they're officially for training dogs not to bark while you're not home. they have a microphone on them and whenever they detect a dog bark they emit a high frequency blast to shut them up. they learn pretty quick how to be quiet. think they're pretty cheap too, and at 25' away they should work great.

>>2554564
Yes I was aware of those, I bought the most expensive one i could find. The dog didn't seem to care. I wasnt sure but the neighbor has sided the dogs cage with corrugated plastic panels so perhaps that is blocking the sound waves. The deterrent thing was operating on a battery so i figured i just need more power and more volume.

>>2554507
>advice
Let it out of the cage?

>>2554507
Personally I would go punch that thing in the nose, but I don't do subtlety

>>2554507
You're just punishing the poor animal for barking because of mistreatment by its own owner. Still i understand your predicament. I just hope you will reconsider

>>2554507
record audio of the dog barking.
play it back at random intervals. The dog starts barking because it hears a dog barking. Eventually something's gotta give.

Dog bark.
Dog hear dog bark
Dog Bark more
Recording Bark more.

>>2554621
Yes, I agree with you. It's not fair for the animal and it is a result of the owner being a piece of shit.

He has made it very clear he will not be doing anything about it. We used to be on good terms and I said he was being very inconsiderate of me and my family which includes a baby that is not able to sleep because of this... and he said "oh well, then we can be enemies, i dont care"

Moving is not currently an option as we dont have the money to relocate at this time.

>>2554625
I actually thought of recording the dog barking and play it back over a loud speaker.

Few things about that...

1)It will annoy me and my family too much.
2) The other neighbors will gang up on me and put all the blame on me because I'm a foreigner and cant just live with the noise like I'm supposed to.

I even looked into the legal aspect and there is a civil law against this noise but it will not be enforced. The local officials dont have any logic or desire to follow the written law, and will side with anyone of their own race.

Philippines. Got financially stranded here when covid struck, havent been able to leave yet but working towards gtfo'ing.

20w amp is plenty for high frequency sound
maybe even overkill

>>2554826
so if the tweeter is rated 150watt.. which im sure is not the RMS.. a 20watt amp would be enough still?

A Malinois in a cage sounds like bad ownership in the first place. They are extremely high energy, very smart and need a lot of space and interaction.

>>2554782
How much do you need?

just play with the fucker and wear it out when the neighbor isn't paying attention, which is clearly all the goddamn time. don't fuck the poor dog over anymore than it already is come on man.

>>2554652
Honestly OP either let it out of it's cage and play with it or try to get the dog taken from the owner and rehomed or some shit. It sounds like a karen move but keeping the most neurotic working breed on earth locked up all day is fucking horrible. The dog doesn't deserve that kind of abuse, your family doesn't deserve the constant barking, and your shitty neighbor doesnt deserve to own such a high maintenance animal.
Fucking hate gatekeeping stuff like this but the amount of times I've seen Mals or Shephards get bought by retards who just want a tough tacticool looking dog only for them to end up in the shelter months later is infuriating. They deserve so much better than to be bought by yet another immature fuckhead who "needs a protection dog" and get named some faggy horse shit like Loki or Gunner or Glock and spend the rest of their lives wearing a moronic tactical dog harness and go insane stuck inside a house all day.

>barking because of mistreatment by its own owner
Dogs don't bark because of mistreatment. They bark because they are dogs.

>>2554663
>not any more bitter than urine
And you know this how?

>>2554549
>Anyone know at what point this will cause permanent damage to the dog?
Hearing damage is based on intensity and duration of exposure.
Intensity is inverse-square to distance from the emitter. So moving the emitter further away will greatly reduce the intensity of the sound.
Duration is obviously what you control by how you cycle the emission. Do you just do short bursts? Or do you let it run continuously? This not lifetime duration of exposure, but rather there's some recovery period after which the temporary impairment heals after exposure. Like the ringing in your ears going away after a loud sound.

Since you are using ultrasound that is presumably beyond your own hearing, you really have no way to appraise the intensity of the sound (short of electronic equipment). So honestly, you really have no fucking clue what it's going to do to the dog. Maybe the reason the gadgets you bought don't work is that the dog is already half-deaf to the frequencies used?
Oh, and don't presume that ultrasound can't harm yourself or your family. True, you don't have much if any hearing in that frequency band to lose directly. But ultrasound can have direct affects on other aspects of your physiology. And ultrasound can interact with the environment to produce resonances that are actually in your hearing range (there's an emerging area of study around using ultrasound to broadcast human-audible sound over longer distances).

>>2554507
Maybe the dog is already deaf. But don't worry, you can also blind the fucker with powerful IR laser. Just be careful not to blind yourself.

>>2554541
>I reside in a 3rd world country. There is no justice system here.
Sounds like the neighbour is the problem, the dog is a symptom. Whatever you do you'll still have a sociopath for a neighbour.

>>2554653
bribe an official

The best option is to dognap it and take it to a park and let it go. The only other option is to either kill your neighbor or burn the whole complex down and move. Burning will release you from your lease.

>>2554915
I havent recalculated the overstay fees since I first checked last year. But i also need enough in savings to land on my feet whereever we end up.

I'm aiming to save up between15-25k USD to cover all visa and passport fees for me and my family and a few months rent and expenses where we land. As well as airfare...

Also and more importantly I'm looking for some type of employment because savings disappear too quickly and a stable income is the only way to make sure we dont end up in a worse situation.

>>2554918

It's hyper aggressive and I have an infant daughter to care for. I dont have time to spend trying to not get bitten.

>>2554995
There's no chance to "get it taken away" this is not the US. There is no animal rights stuff here.

>>2555223
All buildings here in Philippines are made out of concrete. You can not burn anything down here.. or i would have already burned down a few things here.

I appreciate all the suggestions but the original topic is building a ultrasonic speaker setup. I would like to stay on that topic if possible.

If you love animals you should not come to Philippines. There are millions of strays many covered in mange with open sores, many starving dogs, abused dogs, dogs chained up for whole life on a 2 foot chain, people here have less soul and no consciousness to treat animals with any empathy.

I understand many of you are concerned for the animal here and are using your 1st world empathy to relate to what I plan to do.

Move here for a few years and you will change. You can not maintain empathy for animals here.

Funny thing is the animals here seem to have less soul (visible in their lack of presence and personality) than the animals in the US too. I wont go into that aspect because it's hard to understand until you observe it. I'm not saying they deserve cruelty.. I'm saying I dont give a shit about this dog my neighbor has.. I am a dog lover.. i have had 3 dogs of my own that i treated like children...

...and this one here that barks all day and night.. I would chop its head off with a machete and feel nothing but relief.

>>2555155
The speaker will be positioned in my door frame between the door and screen door. I will have my door closed and I will be using weatherstripping foam to insulate the area around the door.

I am hoping that the sound will be shielded enough from the interior..

but yes I have given thought to how it could impact me and my family. I tried it out using a normal speaker and i could hear the 20hz tone and it made my head ring.

>>2554782
Invite other neighbors to a BBQ, tell them the meat is over there in the cage.

>>2554507

>>2554918
Shut the fuck up. Read the whole thread. The guy is stuck in the Philippines with asshole neighbors and a corrupt local government. It’s a fucked situation and I’m confident he’s desperate. You’d be too.

>>2555266
the point of dog whistles is they're comfortably outside the human hearing range.

That's really what you should use btw - one or more dog whistles on a small air compressor, pump, etc

>>2555317
and it doesn't need to run all the time. 15-30 seconds every 5-10 minutes would be way more irritating than "all the time" at least to me

>>2555319
Small compressors are generally nearly tankless and need to run pretty frequently. Am I supposed to deal with the noise of a compressor and sit there and time out the bursts or program some sort of arduno controlled valve release. Sounds a lot more complicated than a speaker/amp/mp3.

>>2555311
Thanks for your understanding. I am indeed desperate.

I have not mentioned that I have been dealing with his barking for 1 year. And have given the neighbor an ultrasonic training collar which he never used. I tried taking it out for a walk once when my wife was 9 months pregnant and it wouldnt let her sleep. It had(has) severe behavior issues i could not spend time to correct, I had to take care of my family.

When i then later confronted him 8 months ago he suggested that he would probably be moving out so it would be resolved by his move.

Like i said, we WERE on good terms before.

Now when i went to ask him for some relief he flat out told me to fuck myself.

I even offered to have the dog sent to my brother in law an hour away who has a large farm property and a place for it when he said he had no place to send it... oh guess what.. no that wasnt true...

He's keeping it.

Filipinos are lying pieces of passive aggressive prideful shit. They will use any and all means to fuck over anyone else they can.

If you ever get the chance to see the video about the off duty cop here that shot a grandma and a teen in the head after he tried to detain the teen and granny tried to physically stop it... I sided with the cop when i found out the full story... he was fed up with the kid doing a loud explosive called a Boga over and over... and had a history with these cunt neighbors of his.

>>2555325
But that cop is in jail probably for life.

Because the cunts outnumber the decent considerate and frustrate people here. You can read on any forum people that have noise issues here and how nothing is ever done about it.

The only thing you can do is resort to violence and then go to jail... BECAUSE GUESS WHAT... breaking civil laws and doing all kinds of horrible shit is fine but ZERO violence is tolerated here. Even if I shoved him I would go to jail for several years if there was a witness or if the cops felt like it.

>>2555325
>people here have less soul and no consciousness to treat animals with any empathy.
>Filipinos are lying pieces of passive aggressive prideful shit. They will use any and all means to fuck over anyone else they can.
and you moved halfway across the world to start a family with one kek

>>2555347

Not quite.

I didnt move here. I was visiting when travel became completely restricted and the embassy closed. Full lockdowns here. You couldnt even leave your neighborhood. By the time I could leave I could not longer afford to and had lost my apartment in the US. That and I refused to get the jab so I was definitely going no where.

Yes my wife is filipina, there are exceptions to the generalization I made. I was referring specifically to the cunt percentage of the population which is a majority. If you werent aware that every country has a small % of decent and considerate people and a huge % of cunts.... its because you're one of the cunts.

Contribute to the topic or fuck off with your assumption based opinions of my choices.

just like indians

anyways, i absolutely understand you. i guess poisoning the dog (or the neighbor kek) could be done with some kind of rat poison. or your brother-in-law could hook you up with some hardcore pesticide etc (extremely cruel, but i suppose in your situation it's some kind of ultima ratio). the most "humane" thing would be making the dog even more aggressive, to the point where it may bite the owner and thus sorting itself out.

i hope for the very best for your family and you, and godspeed on getting out of that hellhole

>>2555359
There is a known phenomenon that repeating a sound an animal makes a few milliseconds after he makes it will shut it down. Some kind of interference with the sound generating feedback circuitry of the brain. It works with people too. Read the patent I posted upthread. You don't need a lot of power just a variable delay. I'm not sure if it works if you shift it up to ultrasound but I would bet it does.

>Philippines
Just report to the police your neighbor and tell them he is selling drugs. Duterte will do the rest.

>>2555324
> Sounds a lot more complicated than a speaker/amp/mp3.
Well, it's not, because mp3 is capped at about 20khz and can't reproduce a dogwhistle frequency ever. And 90% of consumer speakers can't either; you'd need audiophile grade tweeters.

Also a small fan is not remotely loud or power-hungry. You do not need 100psi, you barely need "human lung pressure"

>>2555029
A Malinois is a working dog. It should be chasing perps or doing search and rescue work, not trapped in a cage. It is absolutely barking because it has absolutely no interaction or exercise.

>>2554507
Contact a humane society or rescue group, tell them about the neglected dog, and maybe they will be able to convince the owner to part with it.

>>2554710
It has always been ethylene glycol. The other two would boil within 5 minutes of running your car.

Your mom isn't that young anymore, champ, and sometimes when I am going down on her, she squirts in my mouth a little when she cums.

>>2554507
i know the feels bro. my neighbor has an autistic husky that never shuts the fuck up. I always heard chocolate will fuck a dog all the way up but can't confirm. what about just good ol rat poison in a hot dog?

>>2554897
>They are extremely high energy, very smart and need a lot of space and interaction.
This is correct. My familiy had a Tervueren, one of the 3 other types of Belgian Sheperds. All of them are very high energy and very social. Being left out to bark sets the dog on a course that ends badly.

>>2554507
Don't take it out on the dog, it's not his fault he's locked in a cage all day.

it's theobromine, the amount varies with the amount of actual cacao in the chocolate
you can calculate the amount and the effect on this site for a given weight

for a male adult malinois it's probably like a pound of fairly dark chocolate

You underestimate what "human lung pressure" actually is.
Weak human lungs have static pressures of 600 mm h2o.
Strong computer fans have static pressures of 8 mm h2o.
No, that's not a mistake, it's literally two orders of magnitude difference.

I did a project recently where I tried to build a positive pressure respirator. I needed a ridiculous fan capable of inflating outdoor balloon displays to get any amount of air through a KN95 that was cut in half.

impossible unless that entire entertainment system, source decoder amplifier filter and tweeter, was built to entertain dogs. Any one of those part has the typical 22kHz limit, all you'll annoy is yourself.

How is any of this easier than Karening out to the proper authorities? Part of it is your fault for living in a comblock apartment, but there's probably rules and a super to call.

>>2554507
You are a nigger. Your neighbor bought a dog because he lives next to a nigger. That you are contemplating torturing a caged animal makes you a double nigger. I would suggest you simply offer to buy the dog and treat it right but I would prefer to see your neighbor set it on you and purify the community of your niggerishness.

This whole thread is full of people who have no idea about audio components or speakers.

OP you'd be better off hooking some kind of tiny piezoelectric speaker (if you can find one with ultrasonic specs) to a DC sine wave generator or something that can generate a 30kHz wave ... get away from "audio" components, because hardly anything made for music is going to work

so just go over there when the chain is strectched and the dog is barking and the neighbour isnt home and fucking kick it in the teeth while screaming shut up.

>>2554507
having read most of your thoughts and situation in the shithole you're in, i unironically think killing the dog would be better for the dog. its existence is misery as it is. its misery is making you and your family miserable. it would be better to put it to peace and deal with your neighbour when he thinks it's you. any attempt to silence the dog will be met with retribution anyway. be prepared to show unapologetic dominance. make sure he knows without a doubt you'll fucking kill him in front of his family if he fucks with your family any more, and the problem will most likely just fade away.

I developed misophonia in my teens after the neighbour's dog kept barking and waking me up every night. Now every time I hear a dog bark I have to hold myself back to not beat something up. It really is a life of almost constant suffering except for when I get to put on my headphones. Do something about it fast, even if it means killing the dog one way or another, don't let your life turn into shit like I did.

>these are 150watts, looks like i'll need a bigger amp

You wouldn't need a bigger amp. Horn drivers are very efficient and can produce high volume levels with relatively low power, even like 10-20W. They usually have ratings of 1W @ 92 dB/m plus which means that the sound pressure level at one meter is 92 db if driven with 1 watt of power. Each time you double the watts, you gain about 3 dB of output.

2W = 95 dB
4W = 98 dB
8W = 101 dB
16W = 104 dB

So I'd choose a horn driver with a very narrow field, like 20 degrees, which will allow it to be aimed and will give you a better result with a lesser amp.
