Annoy-a-tron 2.0
Where was I when Version 1.0 came out?
No matter.
From the website:
••••••••••••••••••
Annoy-a-tron 2.0 – Drive your friends crazy (again)
Now with six sound choices including the Infamous Teen Buzz tone and volume control!
Now that they've mostly recovered from the twisted mind maze that was the original Annoy-a-tron, send them on a new journey of "self discovery" with version 2.0
Now featuring 6 sound choices plus volume control, it's at least twice as fun (and annoying) as the original.
-
The cricket chirping sound is interesting because someone will instinctively look near the ground when trying to locate a cricket. So, placing the Annoy-a-tron several feet or more above the ground will help to obscure its location.
-
The 15kHz sound is also interesting because this frequency range of sound cannot be heard by everyone. In older adults or those with deteriorated hearing (a condition known as presbycusis) this high frequency sound will not be audible, while others will clearly hear the sound and find it quite annoying. They also might think they are going crazy because people nearby will report that they don't hear anything.
-
Assuming you have done your part in selecting a suitable hiding location for the Annoy-a-tron, it will do its part to drive your co-workers slowly mad with its short and seemingly random beeps. And when someone does locate the Annoy-a-tron, they're not going to know what it is - which is almost as much fun as watching them search for it. Muahaha...
- Six sound choices: Beep, 12kHz electronic noise sound; 15kHz "teen buzz"; Cricket; Doorbell; Alternating between all sounds.
- The Annoy-a-tron 2.0 takes one CR2450 battery (included) and measures approximately 2.5" x 1.5" x 0.35".
- It will run for over 4 weeks on a single battery.
- Two magnets make it easy to conceal.
- Dedicated volume knob.

Version 1.0 costs $9.99.

I have 5 and my co-workers hate them. They fit in phones, inside light switches (that's where they hid the one they found, thinking I'd never find it inside my wall), vent, and other places your victims would never think to look.
