I have all sorts of weird light gizmos, from plasma thingies to designer lights with motorized rotating bands of multi-colored gel inside - they all make some sort of noise.

Is it really so loud?

I'll try it with some music tonight. It's quite loud, I have emailed the place I bought it to see if it's a faulty unit. :?

The one I saw wasn't as noisy as a fish tank pump. Ok, there was music playing in the shop and people talking, but I would have noticed if it was that loud.

I mentioned these to my wife and she had already considered getting me one for Christmas. :) Fingers crossed.

I also know she bought one of these, but I can't have that until Christmas either. :(

A small fish tank pump, but as I say it looks like it's faulty.

Very cool. Do they work though? ;)

Hoping my replacement unit works.

Ooh, I'm having one of them :) I used to spend ages in the bath watching the colours on the bubbles when I was younger.

Not from there, though - it's a lot cheaper (and orderable online) from here.
