A paranoid Los Angeles man has been blaring deafening horns that can be heard for miles around for several minutes every day — vowing to “keep on blowing” even after he was finally arrested.
Gary Boyadzhayan, 50, has been torturing his neighbors in Van Nuys with the ear-splitting blaring since at least June, according to KABC7 — with cops finding “10 horns” when they finally kicked in his door on Wednesday.
“It is a train’s air horn that has a reach of 3 1/2 miles,” one enraged neighbor, Robert Donovan, said of the horns, including some attached to trees out front.
Boyadzhayan started blaring the horns each afternoon, shutting them as police arrived — just to then set off his house alarm, according to neighbors
LAPD officer finally busted in his door Wednesday following constant complaints.
“We seized 10 horns,” Capt. Christopher Zine told KABC7. “They look like train horns being run by a compressor.”

I collect such horns and whistles.
I used some twice due to obnoxious neighbors, one with 24-7 barking dogs, the other hours of revving up rice rocket bike.
The dog neighbor moved shortly.
The rice rocket neighbor never did it again.
He asked why I did it, as somebody might call the cops.
I told him I just join my neighbors making noise and would never call the cops on them, but should the cops come, I'd be happy to explain to the cops why I was doing it.
If you read the end of the article the neighbors state he’s been living there 20 years without a problem.
They suspect he’s experiencing a mental crisis.
I don’t understand how the guy himself could tolerate the noise.
I always find it surprising and interesting in stories like this that there isn’t some sort of sledge hammer like vigilante response.
At some point one must Wonder why are the crazy people given free reign to ruin the lives of normal people?
The shop keeper came up, and we chatted about it a little. He told me that one of his friends had been deaf since birth, and could not hear the horn of a train even it the horn was blown close to him. Well, they fired up that ram jet. His friend's eyebrows went up, and he signed, "I can hear that!".
I guess there are levels of tumultuous noise.
