Better run when they find it. If they find it.

Annoy-a-tron – the ultimate office prank. Now in 2.0. More dangerous, more annoying and definitely harder to find, thanks to the even smaller dimensions. If you're not familiar with the Annoy-a-tron, just get a cup of coffee, sit, and enjoy the following. The Annoy-a-tron has been created as a miniature electronic toy capable of the sickest pranks in your office, at school, and in pretty much any place where people gather and have to work on something. How come? It's simple. This small gadget must be hidden in a safe place and turned on. It will make all sorts of sounds driving people mad and eventually raging angry, as they won’t find the source.

Well, now imagine this sick toy in it's MKII state – better, smaller, with more stupid sounds, and offering you more control of the prank.

The Annoy-a-tron 2.0 now comes with no less than 6 sick sound choices and volume control, for a perfect integration in the environment you plan to plague using this device. For example, you can choose the “Teen Buzz” – a 15 kHz mosquito-like buzz , which is said to be heard by young people only. Imagine the fun in a room where young and old people work – the teens will just go “Hey, what's with this noise?,” while the elders will hear nothing and blame it on the tinnitus, or believe that the younger ones are making stupid jokes.

Alternately, you can go for the cricket chirp, IM doorbell, grating electronic noise, or the classic electronic beep. And with the randomizing option between all the sounds, you'll be able to create a very life-like soundscape... unless it will be a very annoying one. The Annoy-a-tron 2.0 comes with dual magnets for easy installation and a supplied CR2450, which can power this device up for around 4 weeks.

Now, it's up to you to decide which of your work colleagues deserve this altogether cruel form of punishment. The $12.99 price is extremely alluring and even inviting you to start the sonic mayhem. Just be prepared for the moment they will find your Annoy-a-tron 2.0...
