News Maker uses Raspberry Pi and AI to block noisy neighbor's music by hacking nearby Bluetooth speakers

Bandini little knows he’s trading healing frequencies for a jarring buzz that only his brainwaves can hear! Tech that reggae! I love reggae, especially from analog sources :)
 
Very nifty but: "Bandini was able to train the Pi to listen for music and more specifically identify whether the song playing is classifiable as reggaeton or not."

Annoyingly very loud music is still annoyingly very loud music, and it doesn't matter to me if it was reggae, super cool jazz or Beethoven's Fifth Symphony!!
 
I live in Jamaica and built a much simpler version. People here, and get upset if you like, actually have an average IQ of 75 (it's noted in the local paper) and act like unsupervised children so I broadcast static or the frequency that prohibits any bluetooth speaker or device from being able to connect over at least 500 feet. Otherwise, I had to wake up and have my coffee/news sessions at 5am before the neighbors get up. Works great and coat 130 bucks total.

It's not reggae music but reggaeton music, which is very different and light years away from being good at all. It's probably the worst music to ever come from Puerto Rico, or anywhere, and I say that being a Puerto Rican.
 
There are several problems with this. First and foremost it is an FCC violation in the US (and like most other countries) and secondly Bluetooth shares the same frequencies as WiFi and other 2.4 GHz narrowband devices and thus will cause problems with any devices that share these frequencies like all devices with WiFi, thermostats, cameras, home automation devices, lighting etc. You cannot interrupt one without interrupting all the others. Plus jamming signals by nature put out a ton of harmonics that will affect frequency bands above 2.4 GHz

You simply cannot intentionally cause interference on any of the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) bands

Indeed is a dangerous device to be used near hospitals, health clinics and such places, but those people who thinks that everybody in the whole world wants to listen the same music doesn't deserve our patience. (to not use any other aggressive word).
I got here because I want to do similar device, to be used in beaches, parks or whatever I'm and a piece of s*** arrives with a Bluetooth speaker to annoy people...
