The Magic Cube vibrates, is 2.5" each way, and causes other things to make noise. Hold on... So does the Freedom Driver Mini Box. Or the VIBRO Sounder. Or the Vintion Mini Vibrating Sounder.

A kind of tinyfied version of those speakers that use desks, drywall, glass, or whatever else as their diaphragms, these have already entered that sub-Skymall netherworld of cheap thumbdrives and MP3 recording pens, where anyone can order them by the mil from far-eastern megafactories, pre-stamped with any logo. If you could invent a product name for this particular thing, what would it be? Mine is "Sizzlebrator."
