    supermarket I was at once that had some “repeller”

    Sounds curiously close to them ‘teenager repellents’ that emit high-pitched noise which older ears can’t hear.

      I’m excited for when my ears get old enough to not hear those. At 40 years old and I still get a headache from them.

      At least as an adult I can leave when they’re around. My grandparents had one to repel rodents. They were shocked I’d always want to hide away and read instead of being in the room next to the repeller.

          I already have intermittent tinnitus, as does my partner. “Is that noise tinnitus or do you hear it, too?” is a common question in our household :(
