The Noise Maker is an action item that was introduced during the Scream Fortress Update. When equipped in an action slot and used, a noise is played to all the other players on a server. Most Noise Makers have multiple unique sounds that can randomly play when used. The "Stabby" Noise Maker is currently the only exception to this rule, as it only has one possible sound.

Each Noise Maker can be used 25 times before it is removed from the Backpack.
