She thinks she is the missing band member of Quiet Riot (yeah, you heard me, I said Quiet Riot) and she is definitely making me &#8220;feel the noize&#8221;! While researching eco-friendly musical instruments, I stumbled upon these very cool (and green) music makers:</p>

The red, yellow, blue, green, and purple transparent colored blocks are hollow and filled with beads that produce different tones.</p>
