its equally distressing when your robot spews all of its magical noise all at once

because mechanical parts are pumped full of noise in a machine shop. If the noise leaks out all at once, it stops working

sometimes you can force a little noise back into mechanical parts by wacking them, but usually it has to go back to the machine shop, to be refilled with all the noise it can hold.
