In Denver most of the big box stores have remote police surveillance boxes erected in the parking lot that alternate between playing classical music and announcing that the parking lot is being recorded. In downtown some establishments (especially if they’re near warm air vents) will play the sounds of crying babies or screaming women.
These are attempts to keep people experiencing homelessness away from there.

That’s just fucking evil. Better than using some barely audible tone that hooks into the primal parts of our brains to make us uncomfortable and anxious (those supposedly exist), but even what you’ve said is just literally psychological warfare tactics.
Seriously, the CIA (or the equivalent) during the Korean War used to fly over vietkong areas blasting that sort of shit to disrupt sleep and demoralize them.
The Mosquito was a device for keeping teenagers away from the entrance of stores. It emits a tone so high, only yoots can hear it, us old fucks can’t hear it, lol.
Never heard of the crying babies, that’s new. In the Bay Area I’ve heard stories of them blasting death metal because of homeless people camping adjacent to their parking lots.
