A noisemaker is something intended to make a loud noise, usually for fun. The "romal" was primarily used as a noisemaker to slap or goad cattle. The Allies countered acoustic torpedoes with noisemaker decoys such as "Foxer", "FXR", "CAT" and "Fanfare". It was replaced in US service by the Fanfare noisemaker. This includes a noisemaker, a can of springs, and a flower that sprays water. Originally, each bumper scored 500 points while any noisemaker scored 200 points.
