Gave this to my friend's 2 year old who immediately cried and screamed in fear when it happened again. The toy works as advertised but it is VERY loud even by my adult ears and there is no volume control. I also thought it was a cute toy, but the longer I look at it, it's actually kind of a creepy face that just stares into your soul. It also wobbles randomly if you leave it unattended, probably to try and get your attention, but to be honest it's a bit creepy too. I mean it could be a good Halloween gift I think but be careful it might scare little kids.
