With profiteers who move in around you and use structure-borne sound to force legal residents from their homes and to damage those homes while they’re at it, life in the small city of Albany, California becomes perilous adventure. When I posted that I’d soon write about what ChatGPT was so willing to tell me about structure-borne sound, I did it, as I often do, to make sure that others in my unfortunate situation–maybe you–might sooner learn what structure-borne sound is, how it appears to accurately describe what these crooks do to victims like me and you, and how you might be able to verify it.
My thinking is this: Once communities understand the mechanics and technology these crooks use to inflict harm upon the victims they surround and entrap, we can use our understanding of that same methodology to capture and prove the structure-borne sound they contrive and transmit over the long stretches of piping, metal vessels of hot water ready for use, concrete foundation and footings, the point of demarcation for the electric service, and the low-pressure lines of the sewage system that form and bound our homes.
But in the last few weeks, since I found one of the mobbers’ vehicles listed in the CarPlay app on my iPhone, it’s also become clear that they have greater visibility into what I do on my computer than I had hoped. It might be something digital that allows them to see or receive the content of my screen, maybe lurking or a key-stroker although my BitDefender scans do not turn up malicious files, and it might be something physical based on digging on both sides of this house and possibly based on proximity to the AT&T cross-connect box. I’ve started to use the nmap utility, again with the help of an AI chatbot, to close unnecessary ports on my Mac, I’ve begun to trash Amazon’s incessant notifications about the purchase and shipping processes of the equipment and materials I collect to do what I must to try to defend my contractual rights to housing because corruption and bias in the community leaves mobbing victims like me without help and without choice other than to surrender their assets to criminals. But it’s clear that the mobbers know what I’m up to, so it did not surprise when I woke this morning to the sounds of tapping, probably on a pipe, from close proximity and perhaps the yard of a man who works in the same Bay Area milieu as many of us and whose technical scope appears to include virtual reality and, interestingly, sound propagation. Still in bed and with increasing mobbing chatter on multiple sides, I heard him tell someone over some radio, “I’m giving her something to transduce.”
So let’s begin our transductions. Let’s make use of digitization, miniaturization and the microcontroller for our own good purposes. Let’s make devices that are cheap and easy to use and share them in the community. Let’s make devices to help victims monitor incursions, skirmishes, and attacks of structure-borne sound. Let’s expose mobbing and force the authorities to act.
