Abstract. Balloons may be a thing children love playing with, but they also have different interesting physical properties such as the sound that is produced when something is put inside a balloon. The phenomenon of interest of this article is the one of gently rolling a coin in a balloon and exploration of the sound produced by this movement. It turns out that when a coin with edges is put in a balloon and is being rolled a buzzing sound is produced which varies in frequencies depending on the count of edges of the coin. This can be observed in non-laboratory conditions. Not many experiments have been conducted to explore this phenomenon.
