I had this idea for a gag gift called "the box of unsettling noises." It's just an empty square decorative wood box where the bottom portion has a hidden compartment for a haptics device and a speaker. The haptic device would be a hammer that will occasionally make a loud thud once or twice a day. The speaker would play something that sounds like an airy laugh or crying.

Man EATEOT has some real competition, the second the note box started playing the entire experience became 5 times as haunting and the sense of dread that came with it just kept getting stronger as new sounds were added. This is some really good stuff!

Fantastic and incredibly atmospheric. I'm about to make something using a piezo mic and had a similar idea using springs and a music box. The rubber on the side of the box sounds so eerie. Inspirational.

Hi, I built a Noise box a few days ago too. I have to admit, your creation is much better. Also the little music box on top is a super cool idea. Perhaps I’m gonna add one in the future. ✌️

Cool! And thanks for the description! Will have to try something like this! A lot of people are selling Noise Boxes at some pretty crazy prices. (Okay, I guess it's to cover their Time, but still.) I made myself a simple "proof of concept" yesterday by using the cardboard box from Amazon that the Piezo Pickup came in. :) (having a reverb pedal and an Amp definitely helps too, obviously. :) )

For anyone looking for an answer what the red wand thingy at the beginning is, it's called a gong rubber, or Egong (branded).

I've seen a bunch of these around and this one sounds the best by far. Great work.

Very cool. Now I know where a lot of wierd sounds in movies come from.

Absolutely amazing sounds, I have been wanting to build a box of sounds like this for a long time and I thank you for pushing me to finally do it. I normally do atmospheric guitar layer stuff but I've always had my eye on these types of boxes. Love the randomness of the tones and sounds, again, thank you. Can you suggest a Piezoelectric sensor ? I've wired them up to bowls and kalimba before, but never a wooden box with vibro/reso/spring attachments.

Really beautiful. I'm curious about the 2 metal blocks you mounted on either side of those parallel springs. It looks like you have spring anchors screwed into them. What are they and where would one get them? Keep up the great work!

Amazing! It would be possible to go directly to my soundcard using the built-in pre?

What is that red curl of rubber you're using?

Amazing work, this sounds incredible! What pedals are you using for reverb and granular delay?

0:04 End its suffering at once! lol all silly aside this thing sounds awesome.

loving your craft here buddy ,would be interested to know which ohmage you use on your potentiometers ?

NICE! I think I can fall asleep to this? It's night time and i'm sitting and watching this. Made me very calm and aware. But maybe it would be like falling asleep in the twilight zone :0 Do something with the cat pole!

So I want to make something like this but I don't know how to actually output the sound... how the piezos get send to the output 1/4" jack. Any suggestions?

Very nice. Would be very interested to hear you play it without all the processing.

Brilliant stuff, would you say that 1 large versus multiple small piezos is better? (Asking cos I've just bought multiple small) :)

From my small experience, i prefer one big Piezo. I've tried both and I've found that, for a box of that size, one is enough and that i had a better response and a larger spectrum of frequencies with one large mic rather than 2 small
