Here are a couple of calves we are weaning with nose flaps. We take them out after about 6 days and then seperate the mom and calf. So far it has worked well.

The noise ensures the teachers and lefties in the area know this is farm country - if they do not like it they can leave - if they complain I spread manure in the fields along side their houses to ensure they get it.
