Me too, about the sound
But for some reason I enjoy that sort of thing.

Back as a boy, I went to the Griffith Observatory in L.A. on a school outing,
where there was a bunch of displays with ball bearings bouncing onto
the tops of metal posts cut off at various angles.
... ending with the balls bouncing into a hole in the wall of the display.
Strange how things are remembered after 7 decades or more.

When we moved into our house, I thought about doing that sort of thing
based on a tennis ball floating up a tube of water to the top of a "cliff" above our house,
and then rolling down a track in and about the tree tops and hillside of our 2 acres of woods, etc.

But then... never did it.
