Of course though, it's not in the NFHS rule book but your own customized set of rules pertaining to your league

It is from NFHS:

Concerning the equipment listed for a timer:
Electric clock timer and one stopwatch, or a table-clock timer and one
or two stopwatches. A gong, loud siren or electric air horn to signal the end of playing time. When present, a red/LED light is permitted to end a quarter or extra period; otherwise, the audible signal ends the quarter or extra period.

What's the most interesting horn/buzzer you've heard?

Concerning the equipment listed for the scorer:
Scorebook, pencils, possession arrow and signaling device with sound
different from that of the timer. The scorebook must be available for
inspection at the table from 10 minutes prior to game time until the
referee has approved the final score.

How often does this actually happen where the scorer has their own horn/buzzer?
