Really fun seeing all the neighbors come running out of their houses.
And no, I never lived in Taos.
Diabolical! I've thought of doing like that but never got around to it. You were whacking them with the beat frequencies as well as the sub tones. And CV "Earthquake" cabs were meant for the task.

Source of the Taos "rumble" still a mystery. Some blame Sandia Labs. "Secret Gov't Research." On what, how to drive a town crazy? There's something similar in Detroit/Windsor, possibly sourced from metal-pounding machinery on an island in the river that separates the cities. And we have one as well, in this village the whole hillside shakes like a dog tryin' to shit a peach pit, but only after days of hard rain. There's a dam nearby, and water smashing over it sets the bedrock to vibrating. Makes my windows rattle. For days at a time. It's no hallucination, that's for sure.

When I was young I had a complete PA with Cerwin Vega 18" speakers in folded horn cabinets. I think with a 600 watt Peavey amp. I would run a modular synth into it with three oscillators detuned to a super low frequency to get all kinds of thunder/explosion sounds.
better yet - tune sub-sonic to the brown sound - and make them continuously shit their pants. they wont even hear it....

when they complain tell em about the indian burial ground beneath their house
it really is a journey, and you just cant farm out the battle wounds

Just a follow up to the saga of my lovely neighbor. I shot video of him flipping me off and calling me obscenities. I called the police and filed harrassment charges. Once they saw the video they agreed. He pleaded not guilty and elected to go to trial...it was today. He made the wise decision of defending himself. :shock: They judge and city attorney taught him some courtroom lessons. I testified against him and he was found guilty. Now there is a pre-sentencing phase before he is sentenced in about two weeks. Possibly 6 months jail time and/or probation, up to $1000 fine, court costs and various other possibilities such as anger management classes and public service hours. I'm happy the 'system' worked. I didn't really want to use it, but he didn't leave me many other options.

Extremely well done VK. I am happy for you, your neighbors, and that the system did work. I don't want to read about you getting killed by this prick ambushing you after he gets out out jail and comes looking for payback. Unfortunately, the consequence of doing the right thing can sometimes be significant. I hope this lesson humbles this guy and he changes his ways. Huge respect to you for standing your ground and standing for those who couldn't.

I don't want to read about me either...point well taken and considered. That thought recently motivated me to secure a concealed weapons permit.

Congrats on the win.
I know that ammo is in short supply right now , but practice with that piece. You want it to be as natural as playing a G major chord. Muscle memory. I just hope that its over between you and him. Please be careful.

I sympathize with the feeling, but if you shoot first, there are repercussions for you.
Touch base with the police as to restraining orders if he might become an issue.
It establishes a ground work, and provides some history.
I applaud your bravery, but in general, this is the 21st century:
Don't risk your life over crazy people!

I am not looking to shoot anyone...ever!!! Concealed carry is a small, very small, bit of insurance in case I am forced into a deadly situation by a crazy person.
