I would really like to read the AW research paper on sounds and how
they affect your ability to think.

I cannot conceive that there could possibly be a sound that makes
it more difficult to count the number of rotations you are doing. It's
as though the cowbell was designed to interfere perfectly with the
thought centers in your brain that allow you to count 'out loud' in
your head.

Before the rotation sound was there, I could easily construct those
fancy spinning kinetic sculptures that require precise
'INS-BACK-ROT-ROT-ROT:INS-BACK-ROT-ROT-ROT'
repetitive operations. It used to be like you made up kind of a tune
in your head and sang it to a certain rythym and generally once you
got started and into the groove of it, it sort of 'flowed'

But now there is a tone deaf cowbell player with no rythym trying
to jam to my tune.. and the fact is he just don't help.

The simple 'tick' sound when moving is OK. Maybe a simple 'tick'
when rotating would be cool too.. or even really short musical chimes
using standard notes. You could actually describe how to build
something by sending someone the 'score'.

Touch tones might also work.

But the cowbell is just.... really not the best choice. It 'bounces'
several times... and I think that is it's main fault. That is probably
what interferes with the rythym you have when building.

The buidling sounds need to all be of the same duration, and
they need to be fairly mellow.. with especially no multiple echoes
or anything in order to aid in counting.
