Teen Repelent

Perhaps the noise loses effectiveness when the frequency is lowered.

Not all teens in the area are loitering.

Then it probably won't be annoying to them as the noise is designed to become annoying if one is hanging out for a period of time. If they are in an area long enough for the sound to become annoying then in all likelyhood they are loitering.

 

 

Not all loiterers are teens and not all teens are loiterers. Why not have the noise so all can hear? It requires no more equipment than the mosquito and it gets all loiterers.

If a store is only having a problem with teen loiterers why should they subject others to the noise? The goal is to stop loitering. If teens were respecting the no loitering signs then there wouldn't be a market for these devices.

 

Now obviously if a store is having a problem with adult loiterers this technology will do no good and a different solution would be needed. The point is that this technology is just another tool stores can choose to use to reduce loitering. For some stores it will make sense for other stores it will not.

as evidenced earlier in the thread, it's instantly annoying.

so, they're going to have people out there checking to see that ALL of the loiterers are teens? not all teens are loiterers, so why subject the ones that aren't to the noise?

indeed. and a loud annoying noise that all can here would be more effective.
