Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

do we dare to ask why?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

:) In my country(city) we have many street dogs, it is a city problem.They are like a mix from big & zombie dogs.xaxa:D.
Seriously when a street dog bark and try to attak me i don`t want to kick it or fight it.I want just play a mp3 that make the dogs go away :)

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Theres a Mosquito app in the repos which emitts a high frequency noise. Don't know if it will work on dogs though. It does come with a warning not to use on peoples pets so it might suit your needs.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

isn't there a mosquito application somewhere. Comes with a warning about not using it on pets :eek:

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

I try it to my dog but ---- nothing :rolleyes:

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Well since it is a bit of a brick you could use it that way ;)

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

if it is such a problem what a about a dog whistle or something, something you can apply in a matter of seconds, instead of getting your N900 out, unlock and hopefully have an desktop widget to play sound.

or always having a pipe in your hand :D

whatever helps.....

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

it is not such a problem i`m not afraid from these street dogs.I kick them but if i have something like that may be they will remember me with this sound.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

1. install mosquito hunter
2. find some anti-dog sound or wave modified frequency
3. install filebox go by root to /opt/mosquito-hunter, rename the anti-dog sound as the mosquito one/ones
4. voila! this should work as i tried with another sound file.
request: if anyone finds that anti-dog sound please share...

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

theres a solution: glock....

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

hehehe, well you need a very high pitch sound, normally ultra sound has an effect on dogs and cats, one of the reasons that ultra sound remotes didn't become to popular 25+ years ago.

The speakers in the N900 are pretty small, the same size as the N95, and just maybe we can make some software/program or "APP!!!" (really hate that word) that can make the n900 output beyond 25kHz

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

this too, :)

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Hi mate i found something but it don`t work for my dog.Please somebody try it and if work tell us.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

hehe somebody call animal rights or fu*king P.E.T.A :D
animal/dog torture around world now :D

i feel for the dogs out there right now.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

nope, that's not the one i was searching....i used google though and found that too...but is not the one...

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

humm if somebody tell us what exactly kHz sound we need?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

gorgezilla.. you better find that mp3, because I needed to...

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Nobody know the kHz of the sound we need?:eek:

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

According to a quick google scholar search http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0038664.html

Indicates at least 20KHz

Another search seems to suggest that the range of frequencies smartphone speakers can output is only 300 to 4k to be exact (EX Smartphone audio engineer)

Sorry doesn't look good?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Why are you soo suprised, this isnt exactly a widely known fact amounst us geeks.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

hah you are right

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

ok but what kHz is the antimosquito sound ? I think that is something simillar beacause of the warning about dogs and cats when start the app.And n900 play it?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Why not get yourself some pepper spray or make your own and use this?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Well lets just say it's 4KHz Max. Scaring a cat is one thing, you can cause a sensitive cat distress quite easily, hence the warning.

Deterring and angry/aggressive dog is a different matter, you would have to cause it discomfort, the dB level would have to be quite high. Probably more than the N900 can produce?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Well im pretty sure our N900 can produce beyond 4Khz as you stated it was for smart-phones in general, looking at the speakers i know that they can go way beyond that, an take it from someone that been building HiFi for over 10 years, and have also made a very small speaker set made by the very speakers that's in our N900/N95

But yes on the dB level, that's why i would say a dog whistle is a better choice, it hits the high note (that we can't hear) and like a normal whistle it does generate some dB


EDIT: Not saying that this is impossible tho

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

I don't know if this helps:
(needs gstreamer0.10-tools)

You can change the frequency parameter from 0 to 20000.

(Don't forget, you won't hear any sound while the silent profile
is active)

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

And a more advanced version:
(needs gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-extra
and python-gst0.10)

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

You'd be much better off with a dedicated unit, quicker and easier to operate.
Something like this.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Like i said ultrasound baby :)

Our N900 can do about anything, but for some purposes i prefer direct "tools", like flash light, the N900 has a good flash light function but compared to my DIY 50W Led flash light there is no question what i use, N900 will light up a path in front of me, my 50W lights the hole neighbourhood, and i really mean the hole neighbourhood.

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Nice idea.
But I took
gstreamer0.10-tools_0.10.23-0maemo5+0m5_armel.deb
from there and my N900 (PR1.3.1) says that this is
incompatible.
So which is the correct version?

Edit: probably I should add that I do not want to scare dogs. ;-)
I am just coming here from

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

What happens if you just enter

apt-get install gstreamer0.10-tools

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

At 20kHz it should also keep little children away. :p

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

Options:

a) buy a dog whistle
b) buy a machete with quick-release sheath
c) move

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

For various reasons I am currently offline.
Which file(s) do I have to download for offline installation?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

I was using my other N900 and I get also a
"...not compatible" with the other N900 and the above deb.

The protocol says:
"/usr/bin/dpkg-deb -f '/home/user/MyDocs/Sound/gstreamer-tools_0.10.25-0maemo4+0m5_armel.deb'
Package must have "Section: user/FOO" to be considered compatible.
FAILED: gstreamer0.10-tools ( ) | gstreamer0.8-tools"

"gstreamer0.8-tools" makes me wonder.
I have some /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0.22.0 installed.
and some /usr/share/gst-python/0.10/...

Any ideas?

Re: [Ideas] Sound or app that keep dog away
 

This was the wrong package, try this one:
