Sound harassment detection—automatic recordings & time‑stamped evidence
Home acoustic harassment is exhausting: targeted noises, disturbing voices, engines, barking—sometimes intrusive technologies (V2K, ultrasound). The goal is to move from feelings to facts and offload the mental burden of listening. SoundWatcher listens for you—continuously—detects peaks and, when the threshold you set is exceeded, automatically saves 14–16‑second audio clips with the peak centered—so you can build usable chronological evidence. 100% offline and free.
- Default threshold 60 dB (customizable); continuous listening.
- Each time the chosen decibel level is exceeded, saves to
/recordings
a 14–16 s clip with the audio peak centered. - Options:
--alarm
(voice alert on threshold),--record-alarm
(alert + recording, peak ≈ −2 s),--play-serenity
(reassurance message). Note: voice is currently available on macOS; Windows support is coming.
Recording manually, re‑listening, hunting for the exact moment… it’s exhausting. I built this script to offload that burden: it captures and time‑stamps for you. Live your life: if there’s a nuisance, you’ll have a dated file; if there’s nothing, that’s useful information too. If you perceive sounds but nothing is captured, speak with a health professional.
Stop listening. SoundWatcher will do it for you. Live your life—if there’s a noise nuisance, the script will keep the proof.
Testimony
One of the worst aspects of being harassed by these terrorists is the acoustic harassment at home. What many refer to as V2K or ultrasonic harassment can exact an immense toll on mental health—you have to live it to grasp how unsettling it is that people can react to your actions or speech, insult you, issue commands—able to “talk to you” even when you’re sleeping. It’s worse than a Black Mirror episode; this is inhumane psychological torture.
It puts you in a constant fight‑or‑flight state—but there’s nothing to fight, and you can’t flee—so your nervous system becomes paralyzed. In my case, they took a page from Thus Spoke Zarathustra’s worst nightmare and would literally deter me from breathing, both while awake and asleep.
Trying to record evidence manually, then re‑listening to find the exact moments when harassment occurred and compiling it all, was exhausting. Just as exhausting was knowing that at any moment I could hear these terrorists and have nothing monitoring it. I wrote a small script to help and to lighten that mental load. It helped me greatly; I hope it can help others.
