Abstract

A barracuda-repelling sound generation device including a sound generator mechanism for generating a speaker activation signal when electrically energized; a remote speaker mechanism positionable beneath the surface of a body of water for generating a noise irritating to barracudas upon receipt of the speaker activation signal; a speaker cable mechanism for transferring speaker activation signals from the sound generator mechanism to the speaker mechanism; a power supply mechanism for supplying electrical energy for operation; and a power switch mechanism for selectively supplying electrical energy to the sound generator mechanism.
