Noisy toys

I don't know about you, but what is it with toys having to have to have some kind of noise? I worked in an educational toy store while I was in high school and maybe it spoiled me, but I never bought toys for anyone else's child that had some crazy noise or played a song. It seems like that is all my child ever gets! For Christmas, she got this Hannah Montana doll from my aunt that sings a song called "Old Blue Jeans." I am now an expert on all the words to this song. Today we went to McDonalds with a friend and her kids. All the kids got this ugly Shrek baby who screams, says dada and burps - LOUDLY. Lovely. In the past five minutes, I have heard Hannah Montana, the Shrek baby, and the sound of a fairy wand going "ding!" I think I need to go start dinner and distract my child with something other than a noise making toy.
