A few years ago we got Ethan a Sit and Spin for Christmas.  Being the organized parents that we are, all the wrapping was taking place in the wee hours of Christmas Eve.  We wanted to have the Sit and Spin ready to go so we put the batteries in and gave it a test.  The noise was so loud it put us into the mad “hide the toys, the kids might be coming” mode.  Luckily, Ethan slept through it, but we were horrified that we were about to willingly introduce a headache inducing toy into our household.  That was a job reserved to grandparents and regifting birthday guests.

Despite the hour and my desire for sleep, I ran down the stairs and returned with a screwdriver and black electrical tape.  Fortunately, the Sit and Spin was easy to open and I quickly found the speaker.  A few pieces of tape, a minute to reassemble and voila!  The volume had been reduced from the “get your attention in the noisy toy store” volume to the “grant me sanity in my own home” level.
