Please do not use bells, they are not an effective deterrent to bears and they annoy the hikers around you. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/parks-canada-officials-endorse-th...

Please don't be so emphatic. You seem to have only part of the whole picture wrt to bears.

And many hikers use them too. The ones I encounter are no louder than a dog-collar.

That article is specific to bears (and not dogs or people), it doesn't say anything about bells being annoying, and it seems to contradict you by recommending that people should be "Making noise when travelling on a trail".
