The sound of a Saturn V rocket, full volume. _That’ll_ keep people from bothering me ! And when I’m an grumpy old guy, it’ll keep those kids off my lawn too ! ---

I know a fellow who can do a very good vocal impression of the call of a female moose in heat. This caused him a bit of a problem while canoeing, when a male moose swam after him for the best part of a day, quite exhausing him and his paddling partner from the marathon chase. ---
