General Gameplay Call boxes

Your Feature Request / Idea
So in the first book they had speakers that would emit a mating call/ distress call that would entice the dinos to into view or run away. I think this would be a really good tool to have for two reasons:

1. People who use "back alleys" so that they can use one hammond lab to feed several enclosures can set these up to make sure the dino ai doesnt get lost and go crazy in the back alley.

2. For large enclosures with many types of dinos that use the same feeders you can place them so that you can control what individual feeder a particular type of dino will likely go to that way they dont stray from the herd to get to a different feeder and that you can plan out where certain dinos will most likely be in large safari type enclosures. That way you triceratops eating at one ground feeder on one side of the enclosure and stegos at another on the other side of the enclosure.

3. (extra possibility) If herding and packs are ever implemented in the game it could be a cool way to set off a "stampede" for fun. Imagine having a large group of Gallimimus and setting off a trex callbox and watching them all run as one group.
 
That's one of the best ideas I've read.
It also remembers a bit the lure and repellent systems JPOG had but, with a good AI, this would be even better. Still, adding lures and repellents (that can atract/repel similar all carnivores or all herbivores at once) would also add to the depth of the game and the ways to manage the animals, which are largely limited.
