Step 5"PICAXE" that noisy sound module!
But here's a low cost,& end user orientated, approach instead. Although the basic circuits are highly educational,both kids & (ESPECIALLY!)adults may soon tire of siren & machine gun noises from the kit's sound module. Hence, consider removing this C.O.B. (Chip On Board) device from it's "snap" housing & replacing it with a far more versatile PICAXE-08M micro instead!
An alternative would be to make your own PICAXE add-on,but it wouldn't look as professional,& suitable snap connectors have also been elusive here in NZ. US firm Elenco in fact offer just such a PICAXEd "snap circuit" kit, (refer => http://cs-sales.net/nsnmiistfrel.html ),but it's at a heady ~US$120 ! Although Amazon sell this cheaper ( refer => http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Snap-Circuits-Micro-Standard/dp/B002MRC106/ref=pd_sbs_op_5 ), this is still costly for what there is, and shipping costs may be daunting...
