    I cannot think of a single instance where I have needed a back-up alarm on my car. That will be great if you're up early/late and trying to leave somewhere without making a bunch of noise. Sh-t, I have to push it out in neutral. I don't want to wake everyone up with my 100db back up alarm. It's a friggin compact not a semi.

    Then go balls out and get the dump-truck beeper!

    I'd put one on the wife's SUV but picnic tables and poles can't run out of the way!

    I'm going straight to hell for that one

    YES! a video of what pure safety would sound like would be entertaining.

    I just recorded one from a semi-truck, put it on my ipod, and I just roll my windows down and crank up the volume when I back-up

    Throw that shit up on some analysis software, find out what freq it is and the on/off duration and I'll post up an uber-clean version ;) I'll just build it up in SoundForge

    FWIW the beeper in a honda EP3 is 2.5KhZ, because when I do RTA work I have to look at it all the time when I open my door!

    The one and only SmaartLive, for life

    The only way to fly, The SA3050 is like trying to drink beer out of a garden hose going full tilt ;)

    1/3 octave resolution ain't gonna cut it

    It's transfer functon based. One channel goes to the rig in the car AND the sound card loop (I hardwire it in) the other channel is a mic, it's transfer based, it's comparing the guzinta and the cumzata, WONDERFUL for aligning time alignment and getting a really good grasp as to what's going on.

    best to use an external sound card, the M-Audio MobilePre USB can be had for a good used price, and has phantom power o tap for even a large format side-address if you dig live recording

    *update

    The bulb didn't fit the ep (connector was different and even if it did connect, the bulb wouldn't fit through the socket hole in the taillight). So we put the thing in my aunt's Chevy cargo van, direct plug and play. Too bad it didnt fit the ep but at least it fit my aunt's van so no money wasted. Btw the unit doesnt seem that loud imo, definately not 100 decibels.
