    I remember - years ago - a key ring that when you whistle it beeps loudy. If you were in the same room as your keys you would easily find them, I'm sure they are still around. It helped my dad find his keys alot ( I was a terror for hiding them!! )

    A quick google will yield plenty of options.

    I had one of these before, but had to get rid of it as it seemed to set off with any loud noise; barks, loud films, shouting. It was funny for a while, but got very irritating. Just something to keep in mind :)

    Like Bawnmore, I bought one of these recently and it lasted about 2 hours in the house. The simplest of things seem to set it off. Now I have to say that the one I bought was the cheapest one I could find. I never thought I'd find something more annoying than the kids but I did.Needless to say that we eventually fell out and I'm ashamed to say that I took a hammer to it. I'm sure they are gone to their eternal reward - the great big key-finder place in the sky.
