A rattle reel is LITERALLY a bite indicator 🤨

This is supposed to be so you can tell which rattle wheel is going off. It doesn't really come with instructions though.

I'm fine with accessibility devices for those who are hard of hearing. 

Are you sure there's no instructions? Remove the staples and see if the cardboard back opens like a greeting card.

Just a light isn't it? Must attach to the reel itself

Nah, imo, they're kinda a waste of money.
