An adaptive electropneumatic horn system include an acoustic sound wave generator including an acoustic duct chambering system. The Acoustic sound wave generator receives compressed air remotely from a compressor member to produce sound and propagate the same externally. A horn mounting system enables ready attachment and fitment of the system to a remote consumer-desired location and is adaptive to constraining geometries and locations greatly spacing the acoustic sound wave generator from the compressor member, and as a result a plurality of fitment features provided in the horn mounting system allow positioning to a user's preference, within increased safety and reliability. An adaptive mounting bracket member additionally securely receives the air compressor unit.

A dog toy has a noisemaking bellows having an elastic component axially therethrough in one or more parts. The bellows allows the corresponding part to stretch and makes a crackling sound during stretching, and then return to its original length making additional crackling sounds during retraction, both of which aid in retaining the attention of a dog playing with the toy. More than one bellows may be present in a toy, such as two or four bellows in the limbs of an animal-shaped toy. Bellows may be in different parts of the toy, depending on where it is desired that the toy be stretchable. For example, a bellows could be placed in the torso of an animal-shaped toy, allowing the body of the toy overall to be stretched rather than just a limb or limbs.

The present disclosure describes speech or sound-emulating bottle cap apparatuses and systems and methods for manufacture thereof. It will be understood that a bottle cap prohibits gases from escaping a pressurized bottle. Ordinarily, when the cap is removed from the bottle, the escaping gas will emit a sound, but the sound carries no discernable meaning, cognizable message or recognizable sound (aside from gas simply escaping a pressurized container). Embodiments described herein harness gas escaping from a bottle (when the cap is removed) to generate a discernable meaning, cognizable message or otherwise recognizable sound. The sound-chamber may be wrapped or twisted into a coil or helix shape (in addition or as an alternative to miniaturizing it). A coil or helix shape permits recovery of the original sound quality of the initially modeled sound-chamber, resulting in a sound-emitting cap-chamber removably or permanently coupled to a bottle cap or bottle as described herein.

An apparatus for metering the delivery of an aerosol. The apparatus has a variable acoustic source and a microphone, both acoustically coupled to a volume having a fluid region and an air region. The apparatus may also include a processor to determine a volume of the air region based on signals received from the microphone and the variable acoustic source. A fluid valve is coupled to the processor, and is configured to allow an amount of fluid to exit the fluid region associated with the volume of the air region. An atomizer, coupled to the fluid region, is configured to aerosolize at least a portion of the fluid.
