Neighbor's music leads man to take up air horn


The problems came to a head earlier this week, and Herold bought an air horn that was taken from an old dump truck.

He set up the horn on his deck facing the neighbor's home. He ran a hose to an air compressor to power the horn. Another line led to his living room where he could control the contraption from his couch.

Herold said it took a few minutes for residents to get annoyed and call police.
