The Noise Maker is an action item that was introduced during the Scream Fortress Update. When equipped in an action slot and used, a noise is played to all the other players on a server. Most Noise Makers have multiple unique sounds that can randomly play when used. Noise Maker - Stabby is currently the only exception to this rule, as it only has one possible sound.
Each Noise Maker, aside from Noise Maker - TF Birthday and Noise Maker - Winter Holiday, can only be used 25 times and is then removed from the Backpack.
