Sound 1 is an old teddy bear. It has an acoustic box known as a 'growler' hidden inside the tummy. When you move the teddy up and down, air is pushed through the box, and this creates the sound. 

Sound 2 is from a 1930s motorcycle known as a Speedway Bike. You can see it on display in the museum.

Sound 3 is the 'Spurs Clock', donated by Tottenham Hotspur. The clock chimes every 15 minutes and strikes on the hour. If you visit the museum have a close look for the lions and see if you can spot a sleeping dog!

Sound 4 is the Bruce Castle School Bell. You can find out more about the Victorian school on this website.
