Annoyance factor
Although the manufacturer says that there are more than 40 sounds that these little monkeys make there are lots of customers claiming that what they can hear often is just repeating sounds or babbling noises that can be annoying. A good thing is that the noise that they make is not loud and if you are tired from listening to farts, burbs and monkey’s noise you can always switch the little monkeys off on the relevant button.
Another thing that is worth mentioning is that because of its growing popularity, there are many imitations on the market and many of the customers are doubtful about the originality of the toy.
