Noise_Box
This project is a custom-built DIY noise box designed for experimental sound exploration. The instrument features internal piezo elements for surface vibration pickup and includes a built-in echo module based on the PT2399 chip. The enclosure hosts a variety of objects such as springs, a guitar string, and a fidget spinner, all of which interact sonically through the piezo system. The echo effect is controlled by two knobs: dry/wet mix and echo length, allowing for real-time manipulation of processed textures. The box outputs sound through a standard 6.5mm jack.
