mines are great, have them on grounds where i shoot, all i will say is keep them low..... if you have them at head height you could get sued for damage to robbers ears etc etc.... not that it would bother me them being deaf, just pointing out the legal side to cover your backside... all the best steve

Re: security
To protect our shed I installed a 'rape' alarm. You can often get them for a quid (literally) from a pound shop! You know the things I mean, a battery operated alarm which is set off when you pull the pin out and runs until the battery dies.
eg Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fancy-Keyring ... 4855d34c50
Fix the alarm in a open topped wooden box or similar (I used a old tobacco tin that was lying around) drill a hole where approximately adjacent to where the pin/trigger is & feed the pin through the hole. Fasten the tin/alarm box & run a length of fishing line through the pin and across your shed at ankle level. Theory being that when some scrote breaks in they will trip ('trip over' hopefully
) the alarm. These things aren't that loud (claimed 120db) but hopefully, in an enclosed space, will cause the intruder to have a 'trouser accident'. We all worry about the legal angles should an intruder be hurt when breaking into our premises (NOT) but I imagine the only actual injury that could result to the intruder would be to have sh@ himself - and what criminal would want to stand up in court to demand compensation for that! 
Obviously it won't reset itself but for a quid?
Would also make a great backup alarm for any house/shed/garage etc. In fact I'll re-post this in DIY section.
