The Noise Generator with Short-Range Sensor is a Noise Maker fitted with a motion sensor. It is placed on the ground, armed, and starts its loud noise when something moves within about 3 tiles. The noise draws zombies toward it.
The sensor turns the noise maker into a lure that waits for its moment. The short range is the easiest of the three sensor versions to place safely. It is made with the Add Short-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe at Electrical 2, the lowest skill of the three. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
Stand where the lure should go and choose Arm and set Noise Generator with Short-Range Sensor from the item's menu. Place Item only sets it down without arming it. Once placed, it beeps slowly four times, then beeps rapidly and falls silent. The silence means it is armed.
From then on, any movement within about 3 tiles sets it off with no warning. That includes the survivor who armed it. A plain Noise Maker makes noise for about 30 in-game minutes across a radius of about 17 tiles.
The short sensor suits a narrow spot such as a hallway, a gate or a gap in a fence. A zombie has to come close before it goes off. The noise then pulls more zombies to the spot. That can lead a group away from a base, or into a planned trap. The medium and long versions react at 4 and 5 tiles. The timer version goes off after a set delay, and the remote version on command.
Uses
The Add Short-Range Motion Sensor to Bomb recipe takes a Noise Maker, a Motion Sensor, two Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 2. The same recipe fits a short-range sensor to an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb.

Notes
- Arm and set is the only way to arm it; Place Item leaves it inactive.
- The armed lure makes no sound until something moves close.
- The 3 tile sensor makes it the safest version to walk away from after arming.
- Researching it can teach the short-range sensor recipe.
