These speakers would, of course, be aimed at the neighbor's house. Or I could have been more imaginative and set up a "bark sensor" to play Kubrick's 2001 movie theme, Also Sprach Zarathustra...
Don't forget the light show ! I'm sure I could get a dog's attention with my 2400 watt system. Many years ago, I was attending a Phish concert, and decided to walk around and see what it was like from the very rear/top of the lower level of the arena. Right as I entered from the concourse, they were in the middle of that tune as a sonic blast, along with a huge array of spotlights were directed out towards the audience...it was freakin' sensory rattling, and I assure you that no DOG would continue barking after that overload. Not practical, but if it was my very next door neighbor, I'd throw 'em a rawhide first, or a water hose next.
