I don't know about this guy in particular, but I've been in a situation where I wished I had something like this. There's a small front yard in front of my old bedroom at my parents' house. Every night, around 2am, a bunch of cats would start meowing and hissing. This would go on, in a crescendo, for about 10 minutes and culminate in a five second all-out physical fight. Cat fights are insane. If you've never heard one, they are LOUD.

Don't get me wrong, the whole thing was hilarious, and I used to interject little "meows" every now and then just to confuse the cats. It wasn't as funny when I needed to be awake early for an exam or, later in life, while I spent a few months recovering from pretty harsh medical treatment. The solution was keeping a bucket of water next to the window and just get them soaked. That would stop them for a couple weeks at a time.
