    You owe it to yourself to get two large pieces of metal to constantly bang near the microphones. I would make it a hobby of mine if they did. I’d sit out at the end of my driveway and go ham on the daily.

      I used to have a motorcycle that had a tendency to pop through the exhaust. I could normally manipulate the throttle to avoid that, but I wonder if it would trigger these detectors?

        If a firework can cause a false positive then I cannot imagine a world where it doesn’t.

          I’m honestly not sure how any listening device can reliably tell the difference between a firework, a firearm, or a backfire. And every time I read about it, there is more evidence that it won’t work.

            It can’t. That’s the problem with this unnecessary surveillance technology.

      I have misophonia. 😢

      Hopefully someone else will take up that righteous cause.
