The Remote Noise Generator is a Noise Maker fitted with a crafted trigger. It is placed on the ground, armed, and starts its noise when a linked remote controller sends the signal. The noise draws zombies toward it from across a wide area.
The plain Noise Maker starts as soon as it touches the ground. The remote trigger lets the lure start at the exact moment it is needed. That makes it a strong tool for pulling a horde away from a house or toward a trap. It is made with the Add Remote Trigger to Bomb recipe at Electrical 2. The Engineer is the best occupation for explosives. It can make traps and explosives from the start.
Combat
A remote controller must be crafted first. With both items in the inventory, choose Link to Remote from the menu of either one. Both items then show the word Linked. A wrong link can be cleared with Reset Remote Frequency on each item.
Once linked, stand where the device should go and choose Arm and Set Remote Noise Generator. The device gives no beeps, but it is armed. To start it, open the menu of the linked controller and choose Trigger. The controller works only within its range. The short, medium and long versions reach about 7, 11 and 15 tiles.
The noise pulls nearby zombies toward the device. It suits planned moves, such as clearing a street before looting or gathering a crowd onto a fire trap. Set it ahead of time, walk to a safe spot, and start it when ready.
Uses
The Add Remote Trigger to Bomb recipe takes a Noise Maker, a Crafted Trigger, two Scrap Electronics and a Duct Tape. It needs Electrical 2. The same recipe fits a trigger to an Aerosol Bomb, a Fire Bomb, a Pipe Bomb or a Smoke Bomb.

Notes
- The device must be linked to a controller before it is placed.
- Pair it with a Remote Fire Bomb or a Remote Pipe Bomb to gather zombies before the blast.
- The controller must stay within range, so a longer-range controller gives more freedom.
