Ahhhhh.... We call them Deer Whistles in the US. . Irene swears by them, I think they're a bit of a joke. Guess which of us has hit a deer?

My guess was an ornament in the shape of the Australian relative of the Jack-alope of the western U.S.
Ah, thanks,
Its hard to imagine that a Vin would ever be able to approach any animal without scaring it off.
I use a Goldie silencer in the hopes of warning off car drivers althought it probably doesn't have the same forward projection.

Some years ago I was riding my Rapide through the National Park (second oldest in the world) when the biggest deer I had seen jumped in front of me. As you say, the noise was behind me and my pathetic altette would have sounded like a wounded squirrel.
"Loud pipes save lives." Or so the T-shirt says. I always think of this at times I happen to be next to a Harley with noisy aftermarket pipes at a stoplight. With my windows up and radio on I can barely hear the bike when it is rumbling only 6 ft. from my ear. It's a bit louder as it pulls away, but I only notice the sound because I pay attention to bikes. If I didn't, it would be just as easy to pull out in front of a noisy bike as a quiet one.
