We have gotten off the topic of the thread, which was initially devices for helping with sleep by producing restful sounds. Someone mentioned gunfire, and so here we are. When I first moved out here to the country, I soon became acquainted with gunfire in my vicinity and after perusing the county code, I twice contacted the county sheriff seeking clarifications about what is allowable. Twice I tried to find out, and twice my queries were never answered. I took the resultant silence to either be my answer or an expression on the part of the sheriff on the subject. FWIW, when it isn't hunting season in the county, the local farmers have to be on serious lookout for those rednecks who will shoot their cows and horses since they can't go after deer. Seriously, this is a big problem and the local "Crimesolver's" page on the county website routinely seeks information about these frequent crimes. As mentioned earlier, some broadband service out here could really help matters by offering something to do other than shootin' or tearin' things up in ATVs. Anyway, and back to devices that generate sound to help with the inducement of sleep, there are any number out there to be had. I have never used one, so I cannot add any personal experience to the mix, but stand by my suggestion about using an old TV.
