The fuckin' little girl next door has an athletic type whistle, and I think it's her favorite toy. It's getting a good workout today :^S

Aye... I've had to hold myself back from kidnapping the neighbour's dog that wouldn't stop barking, and punching the kid across the street who wouldn't stop crying for half-an-hour every morning in the summer when he was young.

I am also in the barking dog situation, but the family that owns it doesn't speak English so the talk it over thing is out.

what is she using it for? just for fun of making noise?
seriously, go and talk to her. It's easy to make it stop, unlike a barking dog.

Wait it out.

Yea, it's been over for a little while now. Today was a marathon "concert" though. I hear it often, but not usually as long as today. I don't understand how someone can get so much enjoyment out of a pea whistle. I should give her a couple of my penny whistles. They're quieter, and she might learn some real music.

Good idea.

Complaints can sour people, but a cool alternative could work for her parents, you, and her.

I have a couple that are extremely loud. I used them on my PFD as a safety device. I forget the brand of my main one, but it was a bi-tone whistle, and would make your ears bleed :^D

In cartoons when someone swallows a whistle, they then whistle with every breath. Are you sure that's what you want?

Whistle ?? Pshhh, I wish. My neighbors have their teenage kid living on their second floor and they work odd hours, leaving him all alone to plat his techno music at ridiculous volume with his windows open. It ALWAYS starts right after I get home and Dad heads off to his 2nd shift job, but Mom isn't home from her 1st shift job.
Dude is a huge pothead, kicked out of school long ago for drug dealing, so I can only imagine what he and his friends get into when no ones around.

I'll take your whistling neighbor any day compared to my next door nightmare.

Think I got you beat.

My neighbor owns two German Shepherd bitches, who bark at ANYTHING within sight.....which, with the chain link fences in this neighborhood, means anything for at least 3-4 yards, in every direction! Even after two years in this house, they react to the sight of me as if I'm OJ Simpson, sneaking around with a big ol' knife in my hand, looking to do someone harm. :mad:

The neighbor in question is a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, which means you can't tell her squat, because she knows it ALL. When I asked her, soon after moving in here, if I could expect that kind of behavior from her dogs, all the time, she responded with these tidbits of advice/knowledge:
1. don't cross the fence line, not even with your hand; don't even hold out your hand on YOUR side of the fence. That way, you won't get bit.
2. her dogs, on a regular basis, chase down and kill anything that's in the yard, that's not family (i.e.-rabbits, mice, birds, etc).
3. They're just being PROTECTIVE, so she doesn't see anything wrong with their behavior. :rolleyes:

Seriously, I've thought about talking to the entomology guys on base, to see if I could "borrow" the next skunk they have to trap (sometimes they decide to wander into the hangars), and release it in her back yard. Might make for a pleasant surprise for those two idiot dogs of hers! :whiste: :twisted:
