Actually, I think you can buy things like this already made.  I think their
intended use is for women who aren't keen on carrying mace to frighten
off would-be attackers.  I don't know the decibal difference, though
I would think it wouldn't be quite as loud, but very loud, nevertheless,
and small and probably pretty cheap.
