Are my parents neighbours engaging in psychological warfare? This is attached to a dolly pointed in their yard and sounds a very loud alarm twice a day for 10 minutes. What is it?
At 8am and 4pm this goes off. It sounds like a higher pitch, very loud buzz. Originally befpre we could locate ot, we thought it was a power tool malfunctioning but it's way too loud for that. Another theory was something to scare off crows from their vegetable crops but also too loud and its pointed right into my parents yard. Theres a switch that looks like it needs to be manually turned on and off. Has us stumped. WITT. Thanks in advance
Looks to be a vibrating horn (maybe 874 series) made by Edwards signaling. Data sheet states an output of 103dB. These type of horns are usually used in an individual setting where ambient noise is high.
I would guess the neighbor has hooked it up to cause a disturbance or just to be a general nuisance.

Check if against the law: Perhaps this is a noise violation as defined by the sound and if it is above the defined amount of decibels (for your town).
Look online or call your local government just to understand if this is above the legal noise limit by decibels or by time of day.
8AM? Really?
