I fould a bunch of 110 dba security beepers that fits in my 1.5" i.d. mail
tube rockets. And the best thing is they dont need to be modified, they come
with a mini key that you attach to the shock cord, once removed it will
scream till you turn them off. I got them for less than $3 each.

Take care to secure the straps well. I've used a couple of those
small 'screamers'... after a few flights, the strap broke and didn't
pull the pin out. :-(

The new ones I picked up have straps looped through holes I drilled
into the casing, and reinforced with liberal amounts of CA.

Actually its a key ring and not a strap.

Still... it's a potential 'failure-point' that should be guarded
against. ;-)
