Google might help. Blinky linky:Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostIn the place where I'm staying ... a really annoying high pitched whine ... one of those Mosquito things.
Liberty's opinion:PEOPLE who install the child-scarer “Mosquito” device may be falling foul of the law, claims a leading human rights lawyer. James Welch, legal director of Liberty, told a Plymouth inquiry today that the devices were deliberately setting out to create a nuisance.
Perhaps the best way of challenging the use of this device would be via the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA). Under this Act the local authority has a duty to investigate “noise emitted from a premises” that is a nuisance, and a duty to issue an ‘abatement notice’ if a nuisance is found.

"Anything, just play it loud, ok?"
