This idea places a small bell with a ferrous clapper at the top of a zipper; adjacent is a small rare-earth magnet. When the zipper is up and closed, the bell is silenced. When the zipper is down, the bell is free to ring when activated by the user's motion. This should be a very resilient device able to withstand washing and dry cleaning.

But wouldn't the clothing attenuate the bell?
