Sound off like a Semi! These noisemakers are perfect for sporting events and parties. The effect is similar to the air horn on a semi or a train. Everyone around you will want to know where they can get their own. Or they will move away and give you more room.
Either way works for me. You need to make a tube in a tube. We have used many different materials for the tubes, including pvc pipe, film canisters and chapstick tubes. The pill bottles in the illustration are called "20 Dram" and "30 Dram" sizes. If there is a childproof tab, cut it off carefully so the small bottle fits inside the big bottle.
Drill a hole in the bottom of each bottle. The inner tube needs to fit snugly into the outer tube. The size of the hole on the inner bottle is not critical. The fit between the inner and outer bottles will be caulked, so you have a little leeway, but in our example they fit like a glove!
Be sure to make your matching holes at the same level if you want the tubes to be even. It will work if they aren't, but it looks nicer when they are even. Time to start putting it all together. Run a bead of hot melt glue, caulk, or epoxy if you wish, around the seam of the inner and outer tubes. Set the open ends the tops down on a flat surface while the glue hardens.
You want the inner and outer tops to be level with each other. The bottom can stick out any length, but the tops need to be as close to level as possible. Insert the "tee" into the side hole and run a bead of hot melt glue around it. Do the same thing to the other side and you are almost done. Stretch a cut balloon over the top and secure with a rubber band.
Pull the balloon as tight as possible for the loudest sound. A looser balloon will give a saxophone like tone. Tune the noisemaker to give a harmonious, resonating tone. The louder the better, of course. Don't forget, you should customize your horn! Use team colors for your balloons, add stickers, write with a Sharpie and add a lanyard to hang around your neck, allowing your hands free to ring the cowbells I know you brought. In response to questions about how this works, I have included a cut away diagram.
The air enters on the side of the outer tube, travels up under the balloon diaphragm, and out the center tube. You can use this info to make your noisemakers out of other materials. I just built one of these today. Works great. I am hoping to adapt it to use on an electric bicycle as an air horn similar to the commercially made Airzound.
Thanks for the good start to my project. I work in a pharmacy, so I was naturally drawn to the use of prescription vials in your design.
Having a positive image of your company will go a long ways for increasing your bottom line. Customizable Sports Noise Makers. Are you looking for a way to get fans more excited and into the games?
Whether you're over a football, basketball, hockey, or baseball team, getting the fans enthused to be at the games is half the battle. If they have a great time, they will more likely come back for more games later in the season, which means higher ticket sales and food sales. So what can you do to get fans more excited? One way is through fun noise makers, such as bang sticks. By handing out these fun, and safe, noisemakers to fans at games, they will have fun making noise every time the home teams scores points.
These fan sticks really get the fans into the games and help to create memorable times for everyone in the stands. But of course these boom sticks are not free, so how do you pay for them? Well, there are a few ideas. One is through the team's booster club.
Since boosters often raise money for the team, the funds can be used for purchasing these sticks as long as you go through the proper channels. Another option for getting these noise makers, or bambams, is through local businesses. Reach out to companies, especially ones located near the stadium, and see if they would be interested in paying for the boom boom sticks. In return, the company can have its name on the stick as well as the team's logo or name, so that everyone will know who purchased the sticks.
It's great for the fans and it's a great way for the owners of the business to promote to local customers. The last option is to sell the bangers or noise makers through the refreshment stands. Because these sticks are so economical, it's possible to sell them for cheap.
You can add stickers, color it with markers or even add a little sparkle with some glitter. Just Have fun with it. Now that you have your noise makers you are all set for the party. This easy craft is simple for kids to do and a great way to get your kids involved in the family fun of game day.
