Once when I was a Christian I found myself standing in a church pew behind an old lady who released a neat little fart. It was mid-hymn so no one except me and her knew what had passed. Like a pro, the lady gave no physical acknowledgement of her brazen act, and I remember thinking at the time how impressed I was with her nonchalance.

Like that sneaky pop off, a sound can inject a moment of humour, pathos, pride, fear or dread into everyday life. Makers of the new Sound Machine know this and have created a device that enables users to release sounds into the world at will, fart-like, without the stench. The Sound Machine comes in a nifty plastic box (like my beloved Buddha Machine II) and its grid of buttons enables one to make sixteen different sounds, including a burst of laughter, a round of applause and a woof whistle.

When creator Shed Simove said that the Sound Machine lets you to "live your own sitcom", I immediately thought of the little David Brents living in all of us, sneaking up to Judy in accounts and letting off the 'pump-action shotgun loading and firing' sound. It's no real-time fart, but it's the next best thing.
