Many people constantly lose track of their keys.
Losing track of your keys can be a headache. Seeing this as an opportunity, several companies have begun marketing key chains that emit a loud noise when you clap your hands or whistle. Many people call them "Clapper" key chain finders, even though the company that made the original Clapper device no longer offers any key chain products. Many different stores carry various brands of these key chain finders, and you can also buy them online.
Instructions
1. Search online using terms such as "clapper key chain finder." You will find several online stores that sell a wide variety of sound-activated key chain finders. If you are looking for a local store, add your city and state to the search terms.
2. Look in your local Yellow Pages under electronics stores, novelty stores, drugstores and toy stores. Call the stores and ask employees if the stores carry sound-activated key chain finders. The downside to this approach is that many employees don't know about every item the store sells. If the store employees say they don't carry the item, ask them if they know of other stores that might sell the item.
3. Check the electronics department every time you shop at a department store, large grocery store or warehouse store.
4. Keep your eyes open for one of the finders every time you visit a gas station or convenience store. Many times these stores will carry novelty items at the register or behind the counter.
5. Ask friends, family and co-workers if they have seen any of the finders at local stores.
