You could say that every driver's nightmare is a wild hit , which is almost impossible to avoid. Because forest animals are becoming increasingly accustomed to the noise of cars and machinery, and are therefore venturing closer and closer to busy areas, which causes accidents.
This is something that drivers themselves, but also road managers and police officers, are trying to combat. More and more car owners are deciding to invest in a so-called wild animal whistle. The price of these ranges from 1 EUR up to the 50 EUR category, and there is plenty of choice, although the descriptions are based on exactly the same principle.
Would a wild animal whistle really be the antidote to thousands of wild animal collisions every year? This little plastic device is designed to sound the same alarm as the ultrasonic wild animal Repeller. The alarm emits its sound frequency through the airflow, so it does not require any power supply. However, several people, including us, have tested different whistles and quickly reached a level of noise output that drowned out the power of the ultrasonic sound. Therefore, TOTALCAR, for example, does not consider it the best solution.

We get a lot of questions about why we don't make a wild animal whistle or a wild animal repeller that can be connected to the car battery. The reason is precisely because the vehicle's base and drive sound itself suppresses the frequency that the device is supposed to use to deter wildlife.
