Perhaps everybody else thought that Troyes was a boutique store in Brighton.
Benneton. Oh dear, not good. They already have the obligatory McD in the commercial parks next to Casto and Leroy Merlin
I'm glad that you used the word NOISE to describe this pollution.
OTOH, I'm not sure that I would want to enter such stores anyway.
I was working in a pre schol play group a while ago, not term time so no kids there. Having a bit of a laugh with the two girls who owned it. I asked them where the 'naughty chair' was.
Apparently they would loose their council license if they had a naughty chair or anything similar. It lowers the little buggers self esteem apparently.
I've gone into some clothes and shoe stores with a definite purchase planned but walked out due to such music. It isn't even as if the stores target customers were young rappers, more your middle aged tight wad. I can't think with that noise grating in my head.
I thought large shops chains were supposed to be experts on "mood music" to encourage shoppers to feel relaxed and wanting to buy.
Instead some stores seem to be experts at driving customers away.
A town in France, which gave its name to the Troy weight system used to weigh precious metals. It still has a lot of medieval buildings and a town-run public address system that plays music between occasional announcments / adverts. The speakers are everywhere, so the only way to avoid them is not to go anywhere near the town centre at all.

And that's where this country is going wrong. A little loss of self esteem at that age does far more good than harm - and it teaches respect.
As they used to say "spare the rod and spoil the child" - how right they were!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Hall saying something like:
It's an oldie filter and it works, obviously.
Needs this, I'd say:
I don't mind being filtered.
But unless you tell them they really don't learn.
Um. We do, don't we?
I've got a DVD of Public Information Films, mostly from the 70s. One of them, about vandalism, was very much along those lines.

Isn't that rather the point?

All you need is a tweeter and a 20KHz oscillator!
Andy
From the "this is what you old farts would hear" articles, it's more like beats - so you would need two oscillators, somewhat higher than 20k of course
to bury the little "shit" either! :-)

You would also need a teenager in a cage for tests
Prolly quite simple to trap a couple
Why a cage? Why not just a random passer by?
Anyway these things don't work against the trouble makers just the ones that hang around the shops. The trouble makers will just destroy the device and probably torch the shop. It isn't an offence to hang about, if you think it is just remember that the next time you stop in the street to talk to someone you know.
