Jeez, that's all we need,  a five-minute screaming siren that goes off whenever some critter wanders through the noob-next-door's camp.

A couple of years ago, I was on a day hike in the Rockies and a pair of hikers in the same area had one of those horns that are supposed to scare bears away. It was annoyingly loud even when they were a couple of kms off on the other side of the valley. And sound doesn't carry nearly as far in the mountains as it does in lake country.

I think some parks now have a "no vuvuzelas" regulation - I wonder if that would apply to pack alarms too.
