The Noise Generator with Timer is a Noise Maker fitted with a crafted timer. It is placed on the ground, armed, and starts its loud noise once the timer runs out. The noise draws zombies toward it.
The timer gives the survivor time to get clear before the noise starts. That makes it a lure that can lead zombies away from a base or a route. It is made with the Add Timer to Bomb recipe, which needs no skill. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
Before placing it, set the delay from the item's menu with Set Time before Explosion. The time is counted in real seconds. Then stand where the lure should go and choose Arm and set Noise Generator with Timer. It beeps once each second while it counts down. On the last second it beeps rapidly, then the noise starts.
A plain Noise Maker makes noise for about 30 in-game minutes across a radius of about 17 tiles. Zombies within earshot turn and walk toward the sound.
The timer suits a planned move. Set the lure on the far side of a street, arm it, and get to cover before it goes off. Zombies then gather around the lure, which clears a path or empties a building. The motion sensor versions go off on their own when something moves close. The remote version goes off on command from a controller.
Uses
The Add Timer to Bomb recipe takes a Noise Maker, a Timer - Crafted, two Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. The same recipe fits a timer to an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb.

Notes
- Set Time before Explosion must be chosen before arming it.
- The steady beep counts down the seconds, and the rapid beep means the noise is a moment away.
- Place Item only drops the lure; Arm and set is what starts the timer.
- Researching it can teach the Add Timer to Bomb recipe.
