Here's how you make it dump in the trap on the trip mechanism--that bucket and spinner mechanism is sitting on a plywood box--corn comes out, hits the box and falls down. I have another one made with a section of a cut-off metal barrel and it sounds off nicely.

Dinner bell doesn't work on my ETX lease for mature bucks. It's worked so far without the "dinner bell" so I'm gonna stick with what's proven on my place. Obviously it's not for everyone. I hunt old Mexico where the feeder going off is good, but that's not the same for these piney wood deer.

Quiet deer feeder!
One of these, some flat bar, a little ingenuity, a timer and battery....
Good making of a DIY project.
I made one for a road feeder with a toggle switch and used it for quiet a few years.

Sure enough been there with the youngins.... My are grown now and my tinker time, thankfully has expanded.
I don't think you would save money, unless you could get the metal for free. But it might be a little more beefier.
I like the idea of the quiet feeder, although I hunt were they like the sound of the spin.... That ain't for everyone like you stated.

Your right, I had bought a linear solenoid.
