I'm just used to hearing those things all day on offroad forklifts and dumptrucks. If it's something you want, then go for it. Northern Tool sells them too I think.

Back Up Alarm, 97 Decibels, For Vehicles - Vehicle Lights and Back Up Alarms - Traffic Safety - Safety : Grainger Industrial Supply

they have a couple different ones at grainger.

You can swap in one out of an explorer. A member on here did it, his username starts with a Z but thats all I can remember.
