Colourful rainmacs. It is unfortunate they are made from EVA and not PVC:

Seen the pink one available on ebay, now I've seen it up close and heard the lovely noise of it. I'll get one.

They are colourful and they do make a nice noise, I have to admit, but I personally prefer actual PVC (Poly vinyl chloride; aka, vinyl) over EVA (which is Ethylene vinyl acetate).

Glass clear PVC makes its own crackling/rustling noise, and the degree of crackling/rustling can be altered depending on the choice of plasticizer for the PVC, and the degree of 'blocking' (you'll notice that glass clear PVC adheres to itself, like clingfilm. Well, the more strongly the PVC adheres to itself, the more of the crackling and rustling noise it makes, I have observed. The tendency of glossy PVC plasticized films to adhere to each other is referred to by the plastics industry as 'blocking').
