this noisebox uses a IC 40106 hex schmitt trigger and it generates 6 identical oscillators with individual pitch frequencies and a non periodic modulator LFO. It works like a source of random noises quite unpredictable but soon boring.

Review
OK: cheap / easy build
NOT : limited / boring
"At beginning I tought It was bad built, then I checked youtube and nothing was wrong: it does really sound like that. Never liked that one. Maybe with more options... I gave up on that one."
