In most jurisdictions, one can order full-auto blank guns that are not firearms. It would usually be illegal to fire them in a city.

Not sure how much they sound like guns, but there's a whole field of scaring off birds from farms, see e.g. http://www.birdcontrolpro.com/propane_cannons.htm

How about existing home theatre systems, ideally several working together to create a false triangulation.
Assume that the device requires electricity. It probably should be wifi-connected, so that if you can get it close enough to a Starbucks or something, you can control it remotely. Should ideally be small and unobtrusive so that it's not easily spotted. Shouldn't need any refillable fuels.
Would be fun to put the plans up on the net so that many people would build and field these.
