The ones shown in the OP are not very loud at all. Very low volume.

Seems they'd work. I put several in used sardine can, punched 2 holes in the side, 2 finishing nails on tree trunk. The squeaker/can slides on/off of nails and keeps dry in a rain. I don't benefit from it often as local dogs show up, apparently they can hear 100's of yards away. I can hear it maybe 20 feet away.

I've been using them the past 3 or 4 seasons. They work for me, and I've seen evidence of where a cat heard it and made a beeline directly to my set from 35-40 yards out. Would I have caught the cats I caught off the squeakers without them? Maybe, maybe not. Initial drawbacks were sometimes finding a squeaker after it snowed and the batteries had died. Fixed that by putting them in a tin soup can that I hang near the set. Also, keeping track of the battery life at individual sets. Now I mark the date right in my Garmin and know as soon as I pull up that a set has been out ten days and probably ready to be swapped out with a squeaker with fresh batteries. Now the only drawback is catching fox at my cat sets. I love trapping fox, but when hoping for a high dollar cat, a fox is a bit of a let down. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/07/full-17030-222495-404935848_10211279404298701_8899925772190487556_n.jpg)
