I want to build an electronic device that transmits ultrasound

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on building an electronic device that transmits ultrasound frequencies, specifically targeting a frequency of 24kHz to function as an electronic dog whistle. Participants suggest looking for ultrasonic transmitter kits and provide links to resources, such as Goldmine Electronics. The conversation also touches on the effectiveness of ultrasound for controlling a neighbor's dog, with some participants advocating for more conventional conflict resolution methods. Ultimately, the use of piezo transducer elements is recommended for constructing the device.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ultrasonic frequencies and their applications
  • Familiarity with piezo transducer technology
  • Basic electronics knowledge for assembling kits
  • Research skills for sourcing electronic components and kits
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Ultrasound Pulse Generator kits" for available options
  • Learn about "piezo transducer applications" in electronic devices
  • Investigate "24kHz sound frequency" and its effects on animals
  • Explore "DIY ultrasonic transmitter schematics" for building your own device
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists interested in DIY projects, and individuals seeking solutions for pet control through ultrasonic technology.

I want to build an electronic device that transmits ultrasounds (I guess that is in the LF frequency range [?]).

Does anyone know where I can find a kit that creates ultrasounds?

Or does anyone know where I could find schematics of how to build something like that?

I guess what I really mean is an Ultrasound Pulse Generator.
 
Ultrasound is high frequency.

What do you want to do with it?
 
To shut a neighbors dog up! Essentially I want to build an electronic dog whistle.

I googled ultrtasonic transmitter kit, and got lots of hits. Here's the hit list:

I'm not sure ultrasound will work for quieting the neighbor's dog, though. There are more conventional ways to do that, including talking to the neighbor. And in the end if nothing else works, at least in the US, there is small claims court where you can keep taking the owner to court and winning judgements against them. Talking to the neighbor to work things out usually works, though.

Ya, but how fun is that? I really just want to build it.

So berkeman, could I build this thing and put a speaker on it to transmit the sound frequency at 24kHz?

Nifty little widget. You don't connect an external speaker -- the piezo transducer elements are the silver round things that are included in the kit. That looks like a good starting point.

i think the neighbours are duff or they should know that the dog is noisy ...so i say u should << suggestion removed by berkeman >> tommorow morning ... isn't better lol...hey i am kiddin ... don't do it

moe, we don't say things like that here on the PF, even jokingly.
