I am on the hunt to find the best squeaker. In my opinion, a "Soft Pillow" "Single Talk (one squeak)" small squeaker is ideal. A little over a year ago I bought Doc Wayne's "The Art of Public Squeaking", which came with this type of squeaker. I loved it and became very used to handling it. Unfortunately, after a year, it stopped squeaking. It was 1.75" in diameter and about .75" in height. I have tried to replace it and I've had no luck. I even bought another $6 "Art of Public Squeaking" book just so I could hopefully replace my little gem of a toy, and now it comes with a "Hard Pillow" and not nearly the same quality to get your best squeak on. I even tried to contact Doc Wayne by sending him a letter (his address is in the book), hoping he could help, but he never responded. I am desperate and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Squeaks!

I prefer mouth squeekers. The ones I have gotten over the years are Mosquito Whistles or squeekers from Bob Little...and other sources...including a few that are on the Café.

I prefer to step on a live mouse (of the smaller, more squeakable variety). Problem is that this method only works once --so its a "throw away"!
Just kidding, I love incorporating the small (and sometimes larger) transparent hand squeakers into my show (readily available from our local Canadian dealers). They have even produced a "double squeak" version recently, but I find that "Two" many squeaks ruin the fun. :roll eyes: Best of luck! Jonathan

I think Vernet has the ones you look after. One is included in the Invisible Hands accesories

I got my first batch of 100 from Bob L. My last bunch were from someone on the Café. I am down to my last dozen and will need to find the source. My new source of mouth squeakers had them in different sizes and had a different noise.
Dr Laugh 4u tip for the day..try 2 back to back (reversed) for alien sound... Harris

The mouth squeakers on that page are what I use (though from a different source)
I didn't understand squeezing them, as I use them with a humming motion. As mentioned before 2, 3 or 4 of them can create quite a unique noise..especially if you don't have them going in the same direction.

Hi, I make my own mouth squeakers from a simple plastic straw, it can be tuned to any 'key' and give a wide range of sounds(if you re interested feel free to PM me).
another option is to simply take out the squeaker from a squeaking toy (cheapest are the eggs sold by 12). |
