    Google might help. Blinky linky:

    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.
    Liberty's opinion:
    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.

    Gunner = Royal Artillery.

    To quote from Good Morning Vietnam where the Robin Williams character was speaking to an artilleryman from his own imagination...

    "Anything, just play it loud, ok?"

    Mine wasn't too bad until I did a tour with a gunner regiment. Ouch.

    Probably tinnitus.

    To be honest you wouldn't see a difference if they did.

    Having a mild head cold can make you able to hear high frequencies.
