    $\begingroup$ Agreed! Different instrument each time. Be creative. Keep those animals guessing. Banging pot with spoon counts. Inchoate yowling counts too. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You could indeed establish a pattern, but you would need to be consistent in expressing outward that this pattern means "stay away" be it by going on the assault to any animals that approach when they appear, or introducing some hazard that would encourage animals to vacate for their own good on hearing the sound. As it has to do with food, perhaps leave a poisoned or painful food after leaving the area so that despite the smells etc, the sound warns that the food should be avoided anyway on account of the sound. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @DangerLake exactly this. IF OP were to assault/hurt some crows every time they opened the door it would still be a pattern, but have the opposite effect $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I don't recommend doing this with crows: they tend to remember insults. And faces. $\endgroup$
