• Problems with sound quality cannot be resolved on the current design.  When I had one finger attached firmly to my desk it sounded perfect as if it was coming from a regular speaker.  The current design has way to much rigid area to resonate anything but the highest frequencies well.  This makes the high pitch sound of the white noise much more apparent.
• Thoughts on new design:

1. Make individual fingers and attach them directly to the wood box
2. The connection must be very firm and insulated by some type of hard rubber
3. I think some type of C clamp is optimal as very little energy is lost from the screw holes but if screws are needed they should be thick and the hole should also be insulated with rubber.  Large washers are needed to ensure the maximum amount of area is in contact with the wood.
4. If there is room and the top of the box comes off easily enough, a hollow section could be added for further resonance.

• Movement sounds:  I think for movement the goblin sounds are good.  They provide a very airy sound that does not create a lot of vibration.  Soundtrack may also be good for the same reasons.  Muted trumpet has a kinda robotic sound to it on the low end.  Polysynth might also do.
• Contact sounds: Crystal sounds maybe
• I came up with a  better way to test sounds quicker.  I should have a better list with more specific number by the time you get in tomorrow.
