Hi Mark,

But my 30 $ sound software will notch-out any tone at the flip of a
switch
if there is another tone...i filter that out in the next go.
if there is another one i filter that also in the next go.

Ofcourse you can=B4t continue with that...since you will have nothing
left in the end.

Even a varying frequency could be followed and notched i suppose.

But interesting idea that is...so why not take your suggestion but
instead
of a single freq,dual freq,various frequencies separate the 2
ultrasounds with
as many frequncies as possible...wich would be NOISE !

In practice i would have to generate:

One 30 khz ultrasound tone

and

One 30 khz ultrasound tone...frequency-modulated with random pink
noise

According to your idea i would not hear nothing but the mic in the bug
will hear the difference wich is the pink noise.

Will that work ?

--------------------------
I believe it would!
-------------------------

Also...
Will the ultrasound generator not do the same as the mic....at the
very
beginning of all of this ?
..meaning will the ultrasound emitting transducer not
also produce a tone at the difference of both frequencies ?

When i feed a ultrasound-transducer with 2 ultrasounds having a
difference of 1 khz...will that transducer not also emit a 1 khz
sound ?
if that is true..then there is no cone of silence but a 1 khz tone !

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would, except you don't use 1 transducer-you use one for each frequency.

If you tried to use a SINGLE transducer, then, indeed you would probably he=
ar the beat note

I guess if you put the ultrasonic + pink noise on one transducer, and a pla=
in ultrasonic signal on a second transducer, all should be well(try to keep=
 the 2 transducers apart for best results, although even if they are in clo=
se proximity, it should still work(what I'm concerned about is the transduc=
ers self-resonating, and producing a sound)-If this happens, you might have=
 to shield one from the other(I suspect that pointing them opposite directi=
ons will do it)
