"Bullroarer"

A bullroarer is a traditional musical instrument consisting of a flat, elongated piece of wood or stone attached to a string. When swung in a circular motion, it whirls rapidly through the air, creating a low, resonant sound. This device has been used by various indigenous cultures worldwide for communication, ceremonial purposes, or as a form of entertainment. Its deep, rumbling noise can carry over long distances, making it effective for signaling across groups or landscapes. The bullroarer’s sound and motion also often hold spiritual or cultural significance, symbolizing connection to nature or ancestral spirits.
