The Shouting Vase. "Stress Relieving Vase Takes Your Verbal Abuse So Others Don't Have To."
I guess that is why the Metro was so quiet there.
Thanks to Caleb Eboch for the pointer.
Addendum: From Ben Cunningham, this looks pretty neat too.

Artist Kelly Dobson made something called the ScreamBody, essentially a wearable version of the Shouting Vase. My favorite piece of hers is Blendie, a voice activated blender that blends according to the tone of your voice. Low growl = slow, high-pitched whine = fast.

I find it amusing that it's shaped into a "vase" even though keeping flowers in it would preclude using it.
