But that's the type of noisemaker the buoy can have. But maybe it's only illuminated. Or maybe it has neither a sound-producing device or a light on it. So: sound buoys must be the construction I'm looking for a name for. Lighted buoys ditto. Combination buoys (which are both lighted and make sound) ditto. But these devices are add-ons to the basic buoy itself, and that's the name I'm looking for... Lu At 08:46 PM 10/12/2004, you wrote: >Bell or whistle?
