Hi my neighbours kids are driving me crazy, tried asking parents to intervene with no joy
Bearing in mind I know nothing about audio et cetera, I'm aware that there is certain sound which only children can hear and which may deter them from the area around my fence
Is there an app, combined with a high volume Bluetooth speaker, or something anyone can recommend that will put an end to my misery 😟
PS I'm in the UK

Are you aware of the Mosquito? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito
Note that there are harmful effects of using such a device.
If the children are old enough, e.g. teenagers, they may have the wisdom to consider leaving the area when they hear the sound.
However, small children and infants are especially at risk due to lengthy exposure to the sound, because their parents themselves do not perceive the noise.
I would therefore not recommend employing such a tactic where young children are involved.

If your neighbours' kids are teenagers, you could always try piping classical music into your garden!
Some Mozart, Brahms and Bach may make them move away.

I may try a mosquito app, what type of Bluetooth speaker would I need ?
Not quite teens and I’d rather not annoy the other neighbours tho they’re pretty fed up tooIf your neighbours' kids are teenagers, you could always try piping classical music into your garden!

That sort of performance at that higher frequency, you might end up building one yourself.
I wear ear plugs when I go outside because of the neighbors dog. I sneak around the back hoping not to be noticed. This is true. So that is how things are? No respect? Neighbors who are offended need to get together and maybe present their side of the story. After that, you have the right to escalate.
We had a neighbor whos dogs would bark wildly at any sign of motion from our yard. She'd scream at them for a couple minutes and then yell "Who wants a treat?" and they'd run inside and get their reward for barking.
She moved out and 3 or 4 generations moved in with little kids that just scream at the top of their lungs just to hear themselves scream. As late as 10:00.

This is what the local Walgreens has done and it is working. No more aggressive panhandlers every time you go to Walgreens.
I noticed other stores are hiring security guards to shoo away the pesky panhandlers. Every store has their bathrooms locked too and you have to ask for a key. Homeless people were trashing all the bathrooms and do they ever leave a stink behind.
I read that in England a liquor store used a device like the mosquito to disperse the youth from the entrance. People stopped shopping there because the youths were so aggressive about asking for alcohol. People of legal drinking age supposedly can't hear the tone, but a 15 year old sure can.
Just go outside, pop your face over the fence and say "HI guys, How's it going !" and start telling them stories, bitch about your life or talk philosphy , politics , give them life advice and stuff. After a day or two they'll avoid being anywhere close.
. . . . . . Or who knows , somewhere in the process there might actually be grounds for a bit of mutual respect and the situation will change.

Have you ever thought about turning your speakers up to the max, pointing them in their direction, and playing some music they might not appreciate?
Keep in mind, if the kids end up liking that music, you might be stuck listening to it forever, or until one of you moves out.
One particular song comes to mind:
