These lights are not only very loud and annoying, but they strobe the lights continuously when they're lit. I'm sure they'll appeal to some people, but they'd drive me nuts.
Fortunately you can whip off the caps and make things better.
One interesting thing is that they use a piezoelectric disk for detecting vibration and sounds to trigger the cacophony of noise.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    I think the flashing white lights are to simulate lightning.

    Guess they have one sound chip in China, exactly the same sound from my Halloween mystery Lantern here in Canada . The noise detection relies on kids being very loud at the door

    This is more a bloody nuisance than anything else.😬 Anything with those small, flat speakers are irritating. My nephew had a Fisher-Price learning toy when he was a toddler. It sounded out the letters of the alphabet, it music and common words. I took it apart one day and "fixed" it by stuffing tissue paper in front of the speaker to limit the volume.

    “I’m guessing…” spooky interrupting sound
    “I’m guessing…” another spooky interrupting sound
    “I’m guessing…” yet another spooky interrupting sound

    Some (or all) of the sounds are taken from recordings of a Tesla spirit radio, probably from YouTube.

    I appreciate that they made the packaging spooky in a way that is unrelated to how the product itself is spooky, in that it looks like a mouth with teeth

    I also like how theres a whole electronic chip and speaker setup designed to reproduce electric zapping sounds lol

    That "squeaky door" sounded just a bit like a loo being flushed. :-O

    Nicotine stains? Have those been "where the sun don't shine"?

    cold white is the best light … but to mess with your theory; I grew up in a warm climate and have lived in a cold climate for a decade or so; still despise all things beige … like cars, cloth, paint, and lighting … though I do have a bit of nostalgia for those old sodium lights in streets and apartment complexes from my youth and I believe they tested some green ones on a street or few (still prefer non-yellow spectrum for most anything).
