How loud do you call?

Really loud. I use the Ultimate Predator Calls app (the guy who made it is a member here, can't remember his name) and hook my phone up to a bluetooth speaker and crank it up. I set it down and then set up about 75 yards away that way the animal doesn't come into me. I still put my back up against a tree just in case.

I've thought about doing something similar to this.  How far does your bluetooth generally reach?  If you have a choice, if wind is blowing from 12 to 6, where do you generally try to be?  I've read a whole bunch of places that regardless of the direction bears may be initially coming from, if terrain allows (and they're not bat-*censored*-crazy hungry), they often circle around and try to wind the call.  So would you try to set up at 3 or 9?  Many thanks...

The other thing I've thought about doing was just bringing one of my old phones, loading it up with the same predator call app, and then just letting it do its thing.  But I'd still have to figure out a way to either time delay the start and finish, or just be walking away and back to it while it's still running, which doesn't seem ideal.

They make bluetooth extenders, don't know much about using them though.
