@Thundercraft thanks for linking it. I have a remote mod already but I am sure it will help others.

Big Noise Generator
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2629676638
BTW: It has a range of 250 (the same as a vehicle siren or burglar alarm).

To activate it at a distance, you might try:
Long Range Remote
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2629954811

There's also "Air horn":

@Thundercraft I could not find a mod by that name. The only other mod I could find is this one and it only extends the range to 40. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821023803&searchtext=noise

Just an FYI to anyone here who can't get this mod to work (and because it hasn't been updated since January):

I found an alternative noise maker mod: "Big Noise Generator"
Granted, it does not have as many features as this mod. For example, it may require a separate mod or something to add a remote trigger (such as "Long Range Remote").

@ Joseph Sneed
Instead of giving up entirely on both "Better Crowbar Mod" and "Better Lockpicking" (or until mod authors fix this), have you considered substituting this with "Big Noise Generator"?

I just tested it and it does work without those two mods

Joseph Sneed Just now
I have like 60 mods and it works with all of them other than those two. (at least as far as spawning the skillbook and not causing a crash. I have not tested it past that point)

For reasons I do not know the Better Crowbar Mod https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811707580 seems to prevent the skillbook from being able to be spawned (I checked with a cheat mod and I can force spawn the skill book with all my other mods enabled)

Also the Better Lockpicking mod https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2368058459 seems to cause a crash when both this and that mod are enabled for some reason.

I trial and errored my mods list to find the issues and these two mods seem to be causing the problem as I can turn on all my mods other than these two. I can also provide error logs if needed.

I have been through like 100 bookshelves and 2 saves and I have yet to see the magazine to make this. I also cannot find it listed in the cheat menu mods spawn table ether.

for me it doesnt work i've thrown multiple improved noise gnerators and waited almost 2 days but not a zombie was ever attracted.
