If they are going to gobble it never fails anywhere it is tried.

Coyote howlers, pileated woodpecker calls and hawk calls are all legitimate shock gobble elicitors. Yelping loudly on a tube call works well, too. I've heard them gobble at factory whistles, police sirens, bellowing cows, braying jackasses and tugboat whistles, but not on such a reliable basis that I'd want to try to carry any of them with me.
I have gotten responses from a car door slams, .22 bullet hitting a pop can, tree falling, and me sliding down a hill taking every leaf down with me.
I was hunting a little ways off the road one time. A car came by and honked at a deer that was taking its time to cross. This car honking generated a gobble.
Id say an owl hooter would be the most natural!!!!! Or crow call..........
