+How about an FM transmitter for those occasions when some is blasting music
+out their windows at outrageous sound levels.  I used this once against an
+obnoxious neighbor when I lived in an apartment.

+You just sweep across the band until you hear sort of a thud.  That means
+you've crossed the frequency of the receiver.  Then you back up, thudding
+a few more times, until you home in on the frequency.  If you just sit on
+that frequency, the sound goes dead.  If you use an FM wireless mike, you
+can say things.  (I never said things, my unit only transmitted an unmodulated
+signal.)

Hey, when those funky boys be a blastin' down the street, they usually be
playin' a tape.  Aint that right, son?

THUMP THUMP thump THUMP THUMP

(rotten english and lousy beat is added for no reason. Same reason they play
it, right?)
