A party noisemaker whistle, often called a party horn, or simply a noisemaker, is a lightweight, handheld device designed to liven up celebrations. It usually features a plastic mouthpiece attached to a flattened, tightly coiled paper or foil tube. When you blow into it, the airflow causes the tube to uncoil with a bright, trumpet-like “toot” or squeal, then quickly retract back into its compact shape thanks to a springy inner strip. These noisemakers come in a riot of colors, patterns, and occasionally even metallic or fringed ends to add visual flair. They’re inexpensive, reusable, and often bundled in bulk for events like birthdays, New Year’s Eve, weddings, or graduations. Their cheerful sound and playful unrolling action make them a timeless favorite for signaling fun and celebration. Across different cultures, you’ll hear these called various names—from “party elephant” and “birthday kazoo” to “tongue kazoo” or in countries like Brazil, “tongue of MIL” and in Spain, “matasuegras”  No matter what you call it, the effect is the same: these little whistles bring instant festive joy wherever they’re blown!
