Am I doing something wrong? I walk behind my car and it is very hard to detect...and no, it is not my hearing

I did not put the buzzer inside of the box, but outside the case, so that is not the reason either. At this point I would like to ask how you guys mounted it on the outside? Just tape it?
Thanks for any help --

If you have high frequency hearing loss, you might have trouble hearing the 3600 Hz tone of the 060 buzzer. It's not really loud, but you should be able to hear it, especially if you mounted outside the 'box'. Mine (the original 1st one ever) is just taped outside of the box. There are others that are probably louder and/or give a lower freq. tone.

Here's the original post for reference:
