Claim 8:
9. A method of creating a sound comprising the steps of
a) providing a resiliently deformable member having an external surface;
b) providing a first contactor disposed on a first portion of the external surface, said first contactor defining a first contacting surface;
c) providing a second contactor disposed on a second portion of the external surface, said second contractor defining a second contacting surface, wherein at least one of the first and second contactors defines a concave surface;
d) supporting the first and second contactors on the resiliently deformable member for movement along a main axis between
i) an engaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is in contact with the second contacting surface; and
ii) a disengaged configuration in which the first contacting surface is disengaged from the second contacting surface;

e) configuring the resiliently deformable member to bias the first and second contactors in opposition directions along the main axis and into the engaged configuration;
f) applying a force on the resiliently deformable member to displace the first and second contactors along the main axis and into the disengaged configuration;
g) removing the force from the resiliently deformable member when the first and second contactors are in the disengaged configuration to allow the resiliently deformable member to displace the first and second contactors along the main axis from the disengaged configuration into the engaged configuration.
