To Cindy & ravingpunatic,
1) Cindy, have you tried a block of acoustic foam up against the window? I do know that you can also get noise deadening wall treatments (used alot in recording studios & noise "clean rooms"
2)to rp., love your idea, but was just downunder & talked to some amphi-geeks about their cane toad problems...they had done a trial to see if releasing sterilized males would work on controling the toads (they do this with fruit flies, in fact UH is the leading research facility in the world on this....& supplies flies to Calif.)
From the research, it seems that frogs & toads are not really good candidates for altered males....both because of the life span of the critter & the females choice...the symposium notes are at:

Aloha, Carey
