Car stereo frequency blocker

Hi, I have this problem:

I live in a neighborg where some guys use to pass with car stereos
playing music at such a high volume that my windows start
shaking...seriously!....well what I'm looking (I hope it exists) for a
device which can block their radio or car stereo just when they pass
by in front of my house...not that I want to broke their stereos
down...just some kind of "dead spot" for their car stereos to stop
making noise!

I need help and this group seemed to me that could help me...or maybe
not, in any case please let me know if I'm at the wrong place or where
can I find what I'm looking for ... if such a thing exists?

Thanks to all

Overlooking the fact that it's a crime, you'd have to jam the whole FM
broadcast band, which would not go well with your neighbors. Even that
wouldn't disable boom cars that were playing from CD, tape or MP3
sources. If the boomers are annoying enough people, you might get
together and agree to call in simultaneous complaints to the police,
assuming that there is a local noise ordinance. Repeated complaints,
from enough different people, will eventually draw some action. Don't
try it alone, or you'll tag yourself as a troublemaker. I can't think of
anything else that doesn't involve at least one felony.

See this one, where in a hate mail a 15-year-old girl in Australia
gushes with


enthusiasm over the
"an energy flowing through our blood!"

http://members.aol.com/mpwright9/boomgirl.html <--- some foul
language

She's talking about the powerful stimulus of boom car noise. It
sounds exactly like the

same kind of kick one expects from a narcotic.

Well, barring calling the gendarmes for noise ordinance violations,
I suggest something like this:

You walk up to the offending car, and blast it in their window. You
might want to bring a hammer, if they have their windows closed.

Good Luck!

First of all, I see we all had, dealt with the "boom car boy/girl"
issue. Because I live outside United States and I didn't know you call
it that way, no need to mention how good it describes their lack of
selfesteem. Here's what I wanted to say to the ones who took the time
for answer my post:

Stephen J. Rush:

Thanks man, serously! you'd probably thought I was some kind of guy
who was trying to plan a crime, but you get quite serious and make
what I call a very politically correct answer, and good one too, I
mean it. When I wrotte this post last night in some sort of "desperate
situations needs desperates measures". That was all.

Old Mac User:

Thank you man! Your post put a nice and selected piece of information
for this subject. And by the way I'm 27.

Rich Grise:

I bought it today...let's hope they have their windows down!
hehe...thanks!

Bob:

You just didn't make it....sorry.

Peace out.

Thanks again!...If I find a devive I'll let you know... :D

and most likely they are listening to CD's, not the radio.

also, most of the loud ones aren't playing broadcast music.

Despite comments in other posts it IS possible to fix your problem if
he is listening to an FM station.

What u have 2 do is find which radio station he is listening to, and
broadcast him a stronger signal that his receiver will lock onto in
preference to the radio station. so long as u use a directional
antenna aimed at the car, then none of your side neighbours need be
affected.

To fully automate the proceedure is going to be expensive though.
Have an FM receiver that can scan the band on computer command. Store
the received audio in your computer with both time and frequency
information. Have a microphone listening to the offending car. Once it
is determined that the volume is exessive your radio receiver scans
the band and compares the audio from the microphone with the audio via
your FM receiver. Once a match is found between the two audio signals
you have found what station he is listening to. Now you can do
whatever you please with the info. You could transmit just the FM
carier frequency for his station which is equivalent to SILENCE, or
you could be more ingenious. I take it that the offender is a regular
one? Suppose that he comes the same way evey time. You could park your
car 1/2 mile up the road in the direction he comes from. When your
gear is ready to turn on your transmitter you also turn on some
flashing lights and a siren on your car(via a CB radio link) and with
your FM transmitter aimed at him, broadcast a prerecorded message that
goes as follows "This is the Audio Police. Your listening pleasure has
been interupted because you are disturbing the whole neighbourhood.
Unless you turn your volume way down we will send you some real
powerful bass that will burn out your boom box, but not before it
blasts you through the windscreen. After this message you have 4
seconds to respond. On future occasions there will be no prior warning
before you are blown up"

The reason for the computer is the tricky signal processing to get the
audio match. Because of the variable distance to the car there will be
a variable time delay between the audio from the FM and that from the
car. It will be necessary to perform the mathematical operation of
convolution between the two signals. This will need a reasonable
processor power in the absence of a dedicated DSP and some efficient
coding for the convolution program. You might need to upgrade your PC
to a quad core.
