Seems a bit on the obnoxious side, and I’m not sure peds would readily interpret some of the sounds it makes correctly. Plus it’s another breakable (and stealable) gadget.
If you feel you aren’t getting noticed with a simple bell, you may consider a bugle-type horn. It’s loud and sends the message without making people want to punch you.

My buddy uses the hornit https://www.amazon.com/Hornit-dB140-Cycle-Remote-Trigger/dp/B006TDEV20 I find the sound it makes wholly obnoxious but it definitely gets you noticed. It sounds a bit like a police car trying to get someone to move. Pedestrians freeze immediately. Seeing it in action as a cyclist is a gleeful event but it misuse could definitely be considered terrorizing pedestrians. He's also had it stolen. Twice.
I use this brass bell and it is LOUD. Shockingly loud but you can also mute it with your hand to give a shorter or quieter burst. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033M4Y5Y/ref=twister_B00RNFTQ9Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Also really nice sounding compared to the hornit.
