There is no considering here, they ARE artificial noise makers. They don't make noise on their own, you need to smack them together to make noise and artificial noise makers are prohibited. [/B]
(Not disagreeing here...just playing devil's advocate)

If the noise makers are artificial, how to they make noise. What's a non-artificial noise maker? Is a shoe an artificial noise maker when it is stomped on the gound? Your vocal cords don't make noise on their own either. You need to put air through them to force them to make noise.
