Put on Deep Purple, Sweet Child in Time, play at high volume.

1. The squealing may stop

2. If it doesn't, you will enjoy good music.

I'm always amused when dining at L'Orchidee that the host Patrice (sp?) plays music from the Vietnam War period - e.g. Run Through The Jungle.

Never heard of that one but it sounds familiar.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

No, music is for wimps. The phone shop across from my apartment that played loud music morning to night didn't like the pictured loud speakers with three hours of submarine dive alarm. I alternated it with Quicksilver Messenger Service "Who Do You Love" at max warp volume. Might cause brain damage in little kids though. :-)

Here's a nice live one by John Fogerty in 2005.






So Stroppy, the message seems to be that music tames the savage beast.

And if CCR/Fogerty is not your thing, you can always play some nice loud Jesus music

^ we live near some Korean home churches, I'm not sure the locals notice 'Jesus music' any more!

I think if you played a Melody on a Chainsaw the little shits would take the hint.

Noise in general doesn't seem to bother Khmers.
