My son got this for his first birthday. He loves crawling around with it in one hand, and it's the perfect size for a baby to hold. The crashing noise is a very realistic breaking-glass sound that slightly confuses him when he sets it off by accident, and I don't think he realises that the hammer is making the noise... It makes a change from tinny music or a squeak, but it's still a slightly odd sound chip to have chosen. Cute, fun toy nonetheless - but I wish it came with a buggy clip as it's easy to lose it.
