Noise-making devices are presented including: a compressible noise-making assembly, the compressible noise-making assembly configured for emitting a noise upon compressive deformation; a compression assembly for compressing and retaining the compressible noise-making assembly, the compression assembly including, at least two opposing surfaces defining a cavity for receiving the compressible noise-making assembly, the opposing surfaces each in mechanical communication with the compressible noise-making assembly, and at least two pulls each attached to one of the opposing surfaces such that when the two pulls are divergently pulled a compressive force is exerted upon the compressible noise-making device by the opposing surfaces.
