The Out pin of a TLC555 is only a few 10ths of a volt lower than Vdd. So I don't see any benefit in that configuration. ...Perhaps I'm missing something?You could try this, Connect D1 anode to 9V. Connect C6 neg terminal to 555 pin3. This will jack up the voltage to the transistor. Add a protection diode across C6 You may have to play with the timing and R4 to get what you want.
The cap will be charged to ~9v and when the output of t C555 goes high it will add another ~9v until the cap discharges. Hence the comment about timings.The Out pin of a TLC555 is only a few 10ths of a volt lower than Vdd. So I don't see any benefit in that configuration. ...Perhaps I'm missing something?

Initial condition pin3 low
It only has to drop to a little less than the avalanche voltage which I suspect is close to 9V. hence only operates on a new battery until it reaches the flatter part of the discharge curve resulting in no noise, Some input from OP would help.What voltage across the be junction when it is producing noise. What battery voltage does it quit at??Q1 Emitter must see a voltage between 0V (noise off)

Hope you didn't spill the grapes too!I took a spill off my bike
Can't do that. I love it too much. Cycling has transformed me from a 265lb gelatinous mass to a 69 year old stud muffin. Women from 20 to 80 hit on me damn near daily ..and I love it. My wife ain't too thrilled about it though.Need dottson to implement and report.
Have just stopped riding a bike too many injuries incl broken mandible. Too old for that s**t
Hope you didn't spill the grapes too!

Not a problem. We at EP manage to entertain and tweak each others dendrites with or without the OP.Sorry for the lack of progress, I haven't had time to work on the circuit for a while but I will definately try this as soon as I can get my hands on some other transistors.
