I bought this for my son, alongwith a cheaper no-name brand one with lights and sound. I was surprised a bit did this one thing by far his favorite. And now, several weeks after the purchases, the cheap loud one is long in the trash due to being broken, and this one is quiet loved by my son. We bought one so for his friend and It was his favorite present at the birthday party. Good fun ofr the kids, no noise for the parents. Win Win!
