Object 11

Object 11 is the 1st documented object created by a species of intelligent entities, made to combat The Old Gods.
==Description==
Objec 11, or more commonly known as Iron Flutes, take on the appearance of a tall, slender whistle. To any regular wanderer, it produces no sound at all. However, for The Old Gods, this carefully crafted flute created an ear-piercing screech which is physically very unpleasant for them. A decimeter, of which can detect sounds that a non-modified wanderer can hear, recorded the sound at over 200 decibels, able to make even the most powerful beings cover their ears.
They are a tall, around 10cm long rod with a small mouthpiece carved out of the middle. A hole on the top releases the sound, thrusting it over three times the speed than normal. The entities responsible for creating the flutes have given the recipe for their creation to some researchers, but believe that it could be a dangerous weapon if it falls into the wrong hands due to it's tremendous power.
Iron Flutes can come in many different materials, including wood, steel, and even some materials extracted from Level 1 have been successfully modeled into the whistles. An image on the right, although seems it looks like any regular whistle, depicts a wooden version of Object 11, crafted by researcher Vuncle. A small rope has been added to the top for decoration and other purposes. It is believed that this specific flute was crafted in a park on Level 11.
It is currently illegal for anyone to be in possession of a whistle, apart from the M.E.G.. A whistle crafted out of hardened almond water has successfully been created, but rarely works and is very faulty. Strangely, that whistle has two mouthpieces, displaying that two is unnecessary, but not impossible. Currently, ongoing research is being done, and with it come many theories.
==Theories==
The whistle was crafted to force The Old Gods the way they want. The sound is so unpleasant to them, they are forced to move away from it, and can thus be guided the way a user wants. No wanderer knows what it sounds like, as the sound can not be perceived by most life, but many believe that it is similar to nails being dragged across a chalkboard. Said sound is so unpleasant to the Old Gods that a lot of the time they will be rendered incapable of thinking clearly due to pain. This is presumably how they were lured apart and imprisoned.
The Old Gods seemed to be unable to speak whilst the flute is played, as it seems that their vocal cords seemingly 'seize-up'. The flutes, despite the fact that they do not seem to have any anomalous properties other than those mentioned previously, always plays for exactly five seconds, no matter how long it is blown down for, after that a wanderer must wait for exactly an hour to blow it again. The reason for this unfortunately remains unknown and there seems to be no way to blow it for longer than 5 second at a time.
==Discovery==
Most flutes are crafted, but some are antiques that have been discovered by wanderers in levels of The Backrooms. These flutes appear to be extremely worn down, implying that they were some of the whistles used in the battle against The Old Gods. Some, and only a few, levels that have been documented to have flutes discovered in them are:
*Level -999
*Level -37
*Level -2
*Level -0.5
*Level 1
*Level 5
Many more levels have been documented as having flutes, but not all have been listed here. Levels -2 and -0.5 are the most recent list-makers, having whistles being documented in them many decades after all of the others. This spiked questions about if there were other levels that were home to some flutes, that still haven't been documented yet. Below is a table displaying levels that do and don't host Object 11.
Do Host 	Rarely Host	Don't Host
Level 0 	Level 5 	Level 18
Level -1 	Level 8 	Level 12
Level -999	Level -0.5 	Level 7
The D.O.T.O.G. were at first unable to figure out who to craft the flutes until they were informed of it by a messenger of the same race responsible for defeating The Old Gods on how to craft them. Unfortunately the knowledge leaked out into the public, leading to multiple wanderers finding out how to make flutes.

Object 11 is one of the rarest objects in The Backrooms, and if one is lucky enough to find them, then they have to keep it secret if they want to keep it, as The M.E.G. has to be in possession of all discovered flutes. Many believe that this isn't necessary, as they only need a few for testing, but many believe that they have an undiscovered power that The M.E.G. can't allow normal wanderers to possess.
