It's a whistle to scare deer away

I think this one exactly >>> Deer warning

I wonder if some deer whistle alerts would keep the dog away.

u/mostly-void · 4 pointsr/CasualConversation

Wow, I never thought too much about that but it's definitely a valid concern. Electric cars are just so quiet, it's wild. Now that I'm thinking about it, I know they make these whistles that you can put on your car, when you're driving at a certain speed they make a sound animals like deer can hear.

Don't get a grill guard if you want actual front end protection.

The first thing to do is get a [deer whistle] (http://www.amazon.com/Living-Products-LLC-0001-Save-A-Deer/dp/B003XNGLJU) - you want to avoid any impact at all costs and prevention measures always outweigh mitigation measures.

If you really want front end protection you want to get a full replacement bumper. A brush guard is just that - it only protects against brush and minor front end scratches - in an actual collision brush guards often increase the amount of damage to the vehicle. There are [multiple outlets and vendors] (http://www.hdtruckware.com/ford-c-1/full-front-replacement-bumpers-c-1_6/) who sell front end protection - and many are pretty pricey.

There are more than a few individuals on /r/trucks that swear by brush guards "I hit a deer at 60 and didn't get a scratch!" - this is bullshit. Even full replacements only mitigate the overall damage done to the front end. I had a '96 F350 in one of the fleets I oversaw with a full replacement bumper - truck hit a deer at 50 and the whole front end was destroyed and the truck totaled out.

If you really want one, head over to your local craigslist and start shopping. I purchased both my front and rear full replacement bumpers (solid pipe ranch hand style) for $400 and got a set of rock bars/steps for $100 - these bumpers can retail for over $1k new. Find a shop to sandblast and paint it and then install it.

Something like this. Just hook it up to your backup lights.

Thank you for your comment~ Much appreciated. I've been trying to stay positive by reading inspirational quotes to get through day by day to keep my mind off these toxic people :)

Luckily, we have a garage to safely park our car inside at night and added security cameras after some magically cigarette butts landed on our driveway. Once someone disrespects me, they no longer exist to me. I don't tolerate bullshit and just try to move on. However, I suspect we have neighbours who are trying to sabotage our from home selling.

When we do home renovations outdoor, they would coincidentally walk by just to mock how "ugly" our house look. Ideally, we ignore their words and continue doing our work. To make matters worse, we live in between them and their in-law family house with their kids playing on our driveway in the past. That issue has stop ever since we got security camera installed around our home.

I'm aware they have been 'not so secretly' recording our vehicle back-up alarm when it automatically activates when it is shift into reverse because they started taking pictures of us while we were installing our security cameras outdoor. In addition, they would have their in-law family car intentionally block our car from easily reversing out of our driveway once in awhile so, someone inside of their home could record the back-up alarm noise activate for a longer period of time to collect video noise "evidence" coming from our vehicle instead of moving their car out of the way.

People try to sue over almost anything nowadays no matter how ridiculous it is. I've read an article about someone suing their neighbour for hanging up WIND CHIMES to Starbucks sued for $5 million for 'putting too much ice' in its iced drinks by a Chicago woman. If it was deemed too loud we believe some kind of official authority would of said something earlier to us if they measured the decibel (dB).

Hopefully everything will be alright in the end because I don't want to meet these people in court for this type of nonsense.

You need one of these

u/dawrg · 1 pointr/whatisthisthing

When I was visiting India the car I was riding in had a tune played by the reverse bulb to warn people of the car backing up. I don't know what song it was but I noticed some pedestrians singing along with it. Similar to this.

u/AlienBloodMusic · 1 pointr/technology

The technology already exists, it just needs some minor adaptations.

u/nkryptid · 1 pointr/subaru

i think they invented something to save the deer back in 1902 when these were invented:

XD

u/umibozu · 1 pointr/boston

may not pay for the repairs though and might even kill you if they go through the windshield.

While visiting a friend in Indiana, many people there have a kind of inaudible (for humans) car whistle that is activated with speed and will supposedly scare away deer.

They have so many accidents hitting deer it's a serious safety issue. A lot of people I talked to had personal experience with either close calls or outright hitting deer.

u/WelfordNelferd · 1 pointr/whatisthisthing

I can't get a good bead on exactly where that is, but it looks like it could be a deer whistle: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Products-LLC-0001-Save-A-Deer/dp/B003XNGLJU

u/flacoman954 · 1 pointr/Toyota

I doubt it , since the Avalon is a stretched Camry.
I'm going to order the Hopkins ranging system and see how it plays.

This is what we do too, except it was designed for exactly this purpose. Worth every penny.

u/camojeans · 1 pointr/Trucks

Something like this could help? http://www.amazon.com/automotive/dp/B0008D6NK0

u/MadManAndrew · 1 pointr/DIY

This is the device you seek: https://www.amazon.com/Driveway-FM138-Mighty-Mule-Automatic/dp/B0002YP97S. It will be different for every brand gate opener though so find out what brand yours is and just go to their website. You're not inventing the wheel here, all apartment complexes have the setup you're describing.

Unlike the typical beeping back up alarm, they have other back up alarm with unique sounds available ▶ http://www.amazon.com/Wolo-BA-64-Back-Up-Alarm-Chirping/dp/B0002Q83Z6 OR

TALKING BACKUP ALARM (AUDIO) ▶ https://youtu.be/_aFizlXs-7U ~

My relative's back up alarm on his vechile sound like something similar to this ▶ https://youtu.be/qiZh9C7ILt0 🎵🔊 I guess you would call it amplified music?!

No, trust me. He's not like that at all~ Despite several other petty revenge that my neighbor attempted on us...He always told me to "Let It Go". They littered cigarattes on our driveway and picked fruits from our tree in the backyard before but we never reported them or kept any as evidence. We try to ignore them from teasing us and just continue to do our own thing; living life.

The only reason why I see my neighbour would intentionally block us from reversing from our driveway is so, they could record evidence of the back up alarm noise coming from our vechile. We got to wait for them to move out of the way. Like you reverse out vertically, their car would park horizontally forming a T Shape #Sigh 😧

I noticed my neighbour would choose the perfect time waiting when he has to go to work to pull this kind of stunt...! I'm not impressed 😑

The back up alarm last as long as it takes to reverse a car out the garage and out of the driveway. I don't think it takes that long...maybe a few seconds or so. We live in a semi by the way~

It's not rocket science that after awhile you notice it only activates when the car is reversing. Even the instructions to install it on Amazon or eBay says you connect it to the reverse lights of the car; making it activate automatically in reverse.

But, I think they are using the alarm as an excuse blaming us that were intentionally harassing them with noise or whatever they can pull on us despite the fact that be had good intentios for safety in mind. Hearing Loss? I truly don't know.

Sadly, my relative still doesn't see the worries of lawsuit or losing money over a back up alarm at the moment. He always tell me not to worry and everything will be okay. If anything, the police will ALWAYS give warnings first if there's an issue that needs to be fixed in Canada. He is too niave and doesn't believe that he is doing anything that's agianst the law :( I'm so sad about this matter. He doesn't belive me since I'm a kid and think he knows better. I always told him to becareful because my neighbour always look they are after something otherwise thereally would be no need for them to monitor us so closely like that...~
