Hi. Well, mostly I went on footsteps so far. It's not great, but it does work, and I'm working on solutions for my own home use.
However, one of the things I found out about while researching the LTX was the LTTO, made by the same people but no longer sold. The LTX doesn't support this feature, but the LTTO guns actually had a proximity beeper. theoretically, there's an accessory for the Light Strike that might let us know. I don't have it and I can't find an active review. It's called the enemy scanner. I know that the accessory actually gives you light cues, but I don't know if it gives audio ones. I won't be reviewing those for a while, as my first goal is to get one each of the guns. I'll have all the assault strikers soon, possibly as soon as tomorrow, and those are the guns on which the accessories slip. It'll be a couple of months before I can have pistols, and that's if my wife is amenable. Compromise is fun. I'm considering just making little beepers to wear. it won't be too hard, but other than that, I can't tell.
