Abstract
A system and method for generating game sounds in a directionally adjustable manner which includes a friction pan call having a plurality of holes on generally opposing sides of a sound chamber wall, and a method whereby holes are successively closed in an incremental rotating manner around the call so as to help to create a sound emulating a moving sound source.
Claims3
A method of calling game comprising the steps of:
- providing a friction pan call having a top playing surface, a bottom surface and a side wall with a plurality of sound emitting holes disposed therein on opposing sides thereof;
- covering a first hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes;
- striking said top playing surface so as to generate sound;
- covering a second hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes, and uncovering said first hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes;
- striking said top playing surface so as to generate sound;
- covering a third hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes and uncovering said second hole;
- and striking said top playing surface so as to generate sound;
- and
- wherein said steps of covering a second hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes, and uncovering said first hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes, and of covering a third hole of said plurality of sound emitting holes and uncovering said second hole, includes rotating a “C”-shaped ring around said side wall.
