Thank you Michael and for sending the file, I am out of town at the moment
but will try it when I get back.

Thanks too, to Dr. Richard Price for his advice.
I have Cool Edit Pro but I am still a klutz at working with it.
I found Generate Tone, and here it further asked me whether I would prefer
Square or other (sorry I do not have the software on this computer so I
can't remember exactly). Am I on the right track doing this or do I need to
do something else?

BTW, when I played back the bwgn file Michael made, I was surprised that I
could here it. I thought that from the discussions on this forum that I
would be unable to hear anything in the range of 190hz.

I read in a newspaper article recently that frequencies of 18 to 20
kilohertz would ward off small animals, including cats. Does anyone have
information that would work on birds, particularly pigeons? And where can I
download or buy a range of different frequencies? I have BWGEN, could I make
my own? If so, how? I would appreciate some help with this. Thank you.

18-20Khz? Hmm.. interesting. I'll try 190hz since I'm doubtful of the
capabilities of regular speakers. I've included a little variation
throughout the range; 190hz, 200hz, 195hz. It's 10 minutes long, though you
can set it to however long you'd like to try it for. The sound volume
doesn't have to be loud in the slightest to hear it, so I'm hoping that
it'll have at least half the effect you're looking for. Try it out and let
me know if it works!

Terry,
This works like a champ and runs the bugs off too. This is what's behind
the ultrasonic pest controllers you see on TV and at the discount stores.
It will also drive any pets in the house insane in short order.

BWGEN is good for doing binaural beats but to just do straight tones I'd
recommend either Cool Edit/Audition if you have it or downloading Audacity
if you need a good free way to go. Just tell it to generate a tone at
whatever you need, say 19,000 Hz for 30 min, save to a file, burn to CD and
loop where you need it. Be sure your speakers can go that high and use a
good bit of volume since the speakers' response probably has fallen off a
good bit by then.

Downside to this is that they scare off all the other birds too.
...or find a bunch of Cajuns with pellet guns and invite them over for an
all you can carry home Pigeon Hunt - that's how a church near me in Houston
got rid of an infestation back in the 70s.

Hope this helps.
