Bought this today at a "mom and pop" hardware store. At $13, I thought the price was quite reasonable.
Searches for it lead me to believe the company is no longer in business though.

It has an alarm built in that detects movement a certain number of times and then sounds a 110 decimal alarm. Resets itself etc.
It uses 9 LR44 batteries which last around 2 years.
I think it is closer to 90 - 100 decibels.
What do you think?

Do you run outside every time you hear a car alarm? No one
else does either.
I wonder what percentage of blaring car alarms actually indicate a car being
stolen. I suspect it's close to zero.
I was in a tiny deli a few days ago. There was only one other customer. A car
alarm started blaring just outside the shop. After about 30 seconds, the other
guy said to me "Is that your car alarm?"
"It's not mine," I said. Then he walked to the door, looked out and said "Oh,
it's mine!" It took him another 30 seconds to figure out how to stop it.

For me, the alarm is for my notification.
I make no assumption that anyone would do anything about someone trying to steal my bike.
I am mulling on adding on a version of a fence charger.
I could do it for under $20.
But my bike is pushing some serious weight already. :-(

Don't do that. Creating a "man trap" is a felony most
places[1].
Just keep your bike with you like a normal person and stop
worrying.
[1]Jay I need you here.
If I recall, the common law principle is that you can't use
a device for an act you couldn't legally do yourself and
simple theft is not a capital crime. A robbery does entail
threat to life but this isn't that. You might argue that
it's a maybe sublethal voltage, but you don't know who has a
pacemaker and who doesn't.

You really should pay attention to peoples posts.
And stop trying to discourage them.
I saw barbed wire around the top of a tall wall at a day care, if you can believe that.
Someone could step in a hole and fall and kill themselves.
Someone could get hit by a vulture that just died while flying and hit a neighbor in your property killing them.
Just take some deep breaths and calm down.
Maybe get a Thai massage. But would not recommend letting them walk on your back.

When you wrote "fence charger" I understood electric shock
which is specifically mentioned in the relevant statutes.
