'Sound Machines' sound FX units

[Circuitbenders]

These are a trio of some of the most infuriatingly annoying little machines i've come across in a long time. That is, infuriatingly annoying if you happen to be in the same room as someone who has one with them. Strangely they're not so annoying if its you thats getting on someone else nerves with one.





They come in several different themes. Here we have the Sci-Fi, Horror and FX ones but you can also get Cartoon and Football (or soccer if you'd prefer) themed ones. Basically they each have 16 irritating but remarkably Hi-Fi sound effects that play when you press the buttons. As you can see, each button has a little image to represent what it plays.

Thats about it, except theres an added a pitch knob round the back to take the sounds from squealing chipmunk blips at the top, to hideously aliasing low frequency 8 bit noise at the bottom. Theres also a new 3.5mm jack output socket on the top of each unit. If you thought these things were annoying at the internal speaker volume, just image how irritating you can be over a 10K PA rig!    

Got a demo of all three here

I've been punctuating my life with the Horror one for a couple of weeks now. Its both irresistable and intensely annoying.

You can get them for about £5 each if you look around
