Making a noise is our first instinct and the first sensory feedback we get. Our perception of sound varies with age: babies love to find an object that makes a consistent sound, which can be irritating to their elders. Electronic noises can be wonderful, but tuned bells are remarkable technology and are appreciated by all ages.
