Forget security guards, an Australian town is using classical music to stop people hanging around

Swan Hill, Australia, is deterring vandalism and late-night hangouts at public toilets by playing classical music. The local council opted for this unusual sound-based approach, featuring pieces like Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries,' to make the area less inviting for disruptive behaviour. Early results indicate a noticeable drop in incidents.
