I looked it up, but can only find articles about the sonic alarms that under 25s can hear, anti-loitering devices I think.
Perhaps enquire with your local council and see what they say about such "mosquito" (read: anti-youth) devices.
Or... You could go a less legal route and work out how to "accidentally" destroy it lol.
Edit: maybe also enquire with EPA:

I could only find sites to buy said devices lol
I found the model. Apparently it's meant to annoy cats, dogs, and some other animals. Still can hear it (as well as a friend my age). It's on private property and I don't live next to it so I don't think I have a good case for going to EPA, but I'll be emailing my council tomorrow as they say you can report noise hazard to them.
. I doubt council will help. They tend to go on decibels only.I can hear the mosquito things and will be 47 tomorrow. They can fuck right off with the teenager deterrent any idea.
