What is noise is music to another mans ears. When I set up the radio outside to operate, I use headphones. Sometimes, I will operate with a speaker when I have some stop to see what I am doing. No screeching and howling if you operate properly.
But on the other hand, why do people have to watch their TV outside with the speakers blasting what ever sporting event that they feel everyone within 150' wants to enjoy as well. Same goes for out side stereo speakers.
Like I said, one mans noise is another music.
Oh and the "air-rifle thingy" is an antenna launcher...not a rifle.
