FALLING ASLEEP TO MUSIC
If you want to fall asleep with the stereo on, turn the volume down to a level that would be too quiet when you are awake. In less than five minutes, that level will feel comfortable, but if you're still awake in 15 minutes you may have to turn it down again.

YO-YOING
The yo-yo makes music. A very good yo-yo thrower can actually make the string hum so loud that it is audible in a quiet environment. The rim of the yo-yo is probably traveling over 40 MPH if it makes any audible note. If the note it makes is low C the rim is traveling at nearly 60 MPH.
