(I've also wondered how hard it would be to build an extremely narrow-dispersion speaker, so I could throw a shitload of decibels back at them without inflicting too much collateral damage ... either a competing signal loud enough to annoy and/or cause them pain, or an out-of-phase copy of their own signal so that their sound quality just goes to Hell (or delayed just enough that it sounds garbled, which the distance from them to me and back might be sufficient for all by itself). If I could get them to turn it down or off in disgust, that'd work for me.)

My pleasure.
