Abstract

A flag that includes a motion detector or timer is described. When the flag detects motion or after a certain length of time, the flag will play a noise, such as a wind chime, sounds of nature, or a song, such as a national anthem, or organization song. The flag includes a motion detector or timer, a battery pack, circuitry to direct the playing of the noise, and a speaker. Alternatively, the flag includes a Bluetooth-enabled receiving device that will play a noise when a signal is received from a Bluetooth-enabled transmitting device.
