Sometimes a smiley just isn't enough. If you've ever wanted to send a sound to express anger or delight -- or you just love cat noises -- the creators of TeleSound have got you covered.
TeleSound, a portable sound messenger, allows people to send more than 1,000 sounds from a smartphone or tablet. The device connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and uses a free iPhone or Android app to send emojis.
Each icon is linked to a corresponding noise, from clinking coins for a money bag to a surprised gasp for the shocked face. Check out the video, above, to see how it works.
Once you send an icon, it automatically plays on your friend's TeleSound. If you don't want to be bothered, just turn the device over to go offline. Most sounds have variations so you don't hear the same thing in succession, and some combine. If you send several laughing emojis in a row, the sound turns into a gigantic laugh.
The TeleSound is available on Kickstarter for $34.
