YES it does make a noise...however I am a show performer I use a PA system and a microphone. So this
is no problem. Just clap the stock and poof there goes that noise. You will not be doing strolling
or table to table because of the reset. Does not take long to reset but can't be done in front of
anyone on the fly. It is very well made it is so visual and again this is for the show performer. I
love it!
