If you do use high pitch noise, please, please, please make sure it is
entirely out of the human hearing range. I'm unfortunately one of those that
can still hear the teen repellent noise among other high pitch sounds.

And yeah, every time I've been there I've seen various food or dirty dishes
lying about. I'm sure a functional kitchen sink will help with some of that
and perhaps an investment in more tupperware for storing of bread, chips,
etc. Counters and tables need to be wiped down if there are crumbs as well
(I spent a good 30-45min cleaning up the back counter after 5MoF last week).
