Sonar Noisemaker from an Animal Repeller (Hopefully)
Gonna say upfront that I’m in foreign territory with this one. I’m a modeler who has no business messing with electronics but I’m ready to try at least.
For background, I’ve been toying with the idea of installing some form of custom noisemaker in a model submarine. I want to mimic the sound and kick of a realistic sonar ping; the kind of shrill, ear-tingling, feel it in your bones type. Being a sucker for non-recorded sound effects, I’ve been searching for something OTS that has those properties. Stumbled on it accidentally with this solar powered animal repeller a day ago.
Still have a ways to go with my research before I’m confident enough to actually break out a soldering iron. From just looking at it there are a few modifications off the bat that will need to be implemented. Replacing the solar panel and rechargeable cell with a conventional battery compartment.
Just sharing this if someone wants to call me crazy.
