Live down the street. On a scale from one to opera, .7 opera.

>I think it's just like hanging around a location doing nothing
Depends on the state. That's legal in Tennessee.
If you are interfering with traffic (including foot traffic), that's loitering.
It was a trope (long ago) that disreputable looking people who just hung around doing nothing would be arrested for "loitering with intent". O. Henry used it at least once.

White is a value, one of the three components that make up color (hue, saturation, value- or HSV). When discussing paint and color theory, at least.

Nowadays there's some sort of a device that plays an irritating noise that older people can't hear.

Back in the '80s when I was skateboarding me and Friends used to go skating at a local church. They had plenty of handrails and nice wide sloping handicap ramps, perfect for skateboarding and grinding. Calling the cops on us to get us to leave didn't work, then they sprinkled gravel on all the sidewalks and ramps around the church. We brought brooms. Then they decided to loudly pipe out some corny hillbilly sounding bluegrass gospel music to get us to leave.... it had a decent BPM to skate to. Then they decided to go CIA mode and torture us with Old Testament Bible readings by who sounded like Ferris Bueller's school teacher, and did it at full blast.. we surrendered, we moved on to a strip mall a couple blocks over from the church

Best zombie movie ever. You get so emotionally invested in the characters.

Yeah, my hometown 7-11s do that, too.

They do it at the St John’s 7-11 as well. I always thought it was peculiar. Now I know why they do it.

Find out how much power and dB it is to push a known weight, scale up. I think the military has loudspeakers powerful enough.

Except not legal.
Edit, for downvotes: According to the laws quoted in the article, it isn't legal..
>According to Austin’s Code of Ordinance of amplified sound, a business may not operate equipment that produces a sound louder than 85 decibels, equivalent to that of a food blender, from the property line between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. And from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m., the sound should not be audible at the property line, according to the same code.
Being that neighbors are complaining that it can be heard.
