I want my computer to play dog barking sounds randomly while away from the house- HOW???

Question

Thank you very much for any help you can provide. I live on a property that is prone to kids jumping the fence and trespassing. This usually does not happen when someone is home-only when we are away. For the holiday I will be away for a few days, and would like to set speakers outside and connect to my computer, which will play random dog barking sounds after sundown. Not too much to piss off the neighbors, but just to discourage anyone from jumping the fence. I can find sounds files on the 'net no problem. I can save them as mpegs (Dogbark_1, Dogbark_2, Dogbark_3, etc...) How can I 1. Hook up speakers to my computer, 2. Make it loud enough to sound realistic. 3. "program" or whatever for Windows media player, or an Itunes playlist to play it randomly during certain times. Again, thanks for any tech. help you can provide.

You got it play it repeatedly on WMP. Or get a real dog

Answer 2

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/BNwiW

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.

Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

When I want to remind myself to pay attention to the time I use the Plus! Alarm Clock found in control panel. You can use it to play anything from a Windows Media Player file at different intervals. Can you hear your speakers outside your doors if it is turned up? I live in an apartment and my speakers can definitely be heard if turned up. I do not know about a larger place.

Hi,

If you shoutdown the computer nothing will happen. So you can make a stream of dogbarking using SoundForge and you can save this as .mp3 in Windows media player you can set the mp3 to repeat mode so that every time it will repeat. Also you can do a thing you can download or you can search any screen saver of dog barking.
