The present invention 10 discloses a device that attaches to sporting equipment for the purpose of generating an audible sound under predetermined conditions. The device 10 is selectively attached to hand held sporting equipment, such as a golf club 18 and tennis racquet 38, that travels through a sweeping motion. By attachment of the sound generating device to the aforementioned equipment it will be possible to cause audible sounds under abrupt increases in velocity. The device of the preferred embodiment is comprised of a sound generation element 12 such as a pliable material, and may include a means of attachment element 14. The sound generation element 12 can be permanently or semi-permanently fixed to the sporting equipment. In the permanent/semi-permanent state the sound generation element is fixedly positioned by means of adhesive 40, or any other bonding means known within the art, to the sporting equipment thereby having no need for a means of an attachment element 14. The means of attachment element 14 provides for selective attachment and detachment of the sound generating device and is comprised of a snap-on collar or clip 24 and alternately of lengths of material 22 that can be twisted or tied around a portion of the sporting equipment. The clip 24 is a substantially cylindrical object having a slotted aperture 28 formed by flexible divergent arms 26 enclosing a throughbore whereby the clip can be pressed onto sporting equipment.
