Sound bricks are some of the rarest LEGO bricks in sets. Only a handful of LEGO sound bricks have ever been created since the first one in 1986. From sirens to doorbells and alien sounds, LEGO has experimented with a wide variety of noises. Recently, the LEGO Harry Potter Talking Sorting Hat set was released introducing LEGO’s most advanced sound brick. This LEGO brick can say 31 unique phrases! Let’s explore the evolution of these special sound bricks.

Can you think a set that would benefit from a sound brick? I had a lot of fun making this video. I hope you enjoy it

[@D4vemate]

Hi

[@itsjrStudios]

lego Angry Birds.

[@GeneralHomsar]

You suggested R2-D2, and I can't think of a better set for sound a brick in its current form. If it were somehow integrated with Powered Up, sound bricks could be an awesome addition to Lego trains too.

[@nobo86]

Maybe speed champs

[@davidrasthammar1057]

Star Wars imperial sett with the alarm sound.

[@nilsnyman6767]

Lego does NOT need any kind of phone app! Sound bricks=cool. Light bricks=cool. Battery bricks=cool. Motor bricks=cool. Phone app=NOT COOL. We don't need to make Lego unusable if your phone is dead. The biggest joy Lego brings is it's sophisticated simplicity. No phones!

[@MrBlobbysLover]

Agree 100%! And if they take the servers down, you’ll never get that functionality back! Sound and light bricks are actual physical things that are part of the set, they’re real!

[@amandacourtney3519]

Yeah no, what about sound bricks that can play ANY SOUND THAT EXISTS!?! Vs 25 dollars per sound?

[@dantecontreras887]

@@amandacourtney3519 You completely missed the point. What if your battery is dead? Then you lose that novelty. What if you don't have internet to download the needed app? Then you're gonna have to wait. 25 bucks a sound may be impossible for some, but it would break LEGO's simplicity, we love plastic bricks that you can build with. Not a button on your phone that plays a sound within the set.

[@amandacourtney3519]

@@dantecontreras887 just replace them, and plenty of apps can run without internet, I’m sure Lego could also do it. If you want to buy a fortune for being able to have the very few sounds sound bricks can make then sure, but what if you want to build, let’s say a Lego cat. They don’t have that sound as far as I know of, and what if you wanted to build something more obscure with sound, you ain’t gonna find that sound

[@Yayichangedthisthing]

What abt if you lose the instructions? I had to use the app because of that.

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

The LEGO Minecraft set "The Diamond Sword Fortress" could've benefited from a sound brick. Imagine putting that disc in the jukebox and actually hearing the C418 Cat song?

[@TheBenjaman]

Exactly my thought. Or that ancient city set and when you spawn the warden it actually makes the warden sounds. Or an enderdragon set with all the enderdragon sounds... Oooh or what about a pillager raid set with a sound brick for the horn

[@m2pt5]

The Talking Sorting Hat has not just the extra cost of the sound brick, but the brand tax.

[@PLAYER42_ready]

Alongside the cost of getting the voice actor or using the old voicelines

[@keiyakins]

Plus the cost of all the people who refuse to buy from them as long as they associate with someone actively working to oppress them.

[@justsomefox8910]

[@MattiaBulgarelli]

In color psychology, purple is associated, among other things, to magic and creativity - just see how many video game and superhero characters associated with magic just dress in purple. So it definitely makes sense for the brain/core of the magic hat to be purple.

[@mb2000]

The 9V battery box, lights and spinny siren piece are some of my strongest memories of Lego when I was a kid. Kinda upset to learn they’re not particularly well regarded today!

[@Funrollercoaster606]

I have some and they finally stopped working :(

[@sego_bran]

The possibilities of having a sound brick compatible with powered up would be amazing, it could be used that you upload the Powered Up app audios into the brick, that way we would have some sort of a library to upload different audio to cars, trains, or even MOCs

[@paweborkowski6959]

This.

[@zacoryal]

It's great... until the not-so-great people start loading unsavory, inappropriate sound files to play on their sound bricks. I'd hate to see all the raunchy custom sets those people would start making...

[@trevorhaddox6884]

They could even just put a speaker in a hub block. This would allow for a bigger, better speaker and having it in multiple sets with outer functions without an extra part.

[@liberatumplox625]

This! I've built so many mocs that would benefit from customisable samples that can be triggered with a button.

[@bengianturco7926]

Also Disney sets such as large buildable Simba, also Mario Kart when you pick up mystery boxes

[@TheBenjaman]

Mario kart would most likely use the figure for all of its sounds.. like how they've been doing it for years in lego mario already

[@CyberCrosswise]

in 1998 the Insectoids line had lights and sounds bricks. Indeed in 1999 with two sets 6454 and 6456 from the Space Port Line. These modules were powered by AA batteries.

[@Danny-kb6rh]

The ecto 1 would have been really nice with light and sound + rc function it would have been absolutely persect

[@tombricksnt]

Duplo had light and sound for police and fire too

[@vincentvanfuchs6680]

You forget the Insectoid soundbrick that played three different sounds and had also flashing lights.

[@seanrrr]

One of my first sets as a kid was the Space Rocket 6454. The rocket engines at the base were one massive block that lit up and played 3 different sounds. Those sounds are burned into my memories for life :)

[@millenniumf1138]

One sound brick I'd love is a Star Wars sound brick that not only has engine sounds, but also electronic contacts like the old electronic bricks that provide power to light bricks that could light up engines. This would not only make the set extremely cool, but it could be very versatile as you could put it in multiple sets, and it would also be very good for MOCs as well since it wouldn't be limited to one design.

[@nickofzo]

The Retro radio will probably have one too. Hence the price part ratio and the fact that it is a radio.

[@darkmyro]

A marvel bridge scene with the avengers music playing would be a awesome

[@dimar-1165]

The point here is that you may get tired of this music over time, and you will have to turn on another one on your phone/headphones.

[@RebelliousRobot]

I'd imagine the 4x4 size is so more data can be stored.

[@henke37]

Have you seen a micro sd card?

[@LunchBoxer]

Thanks for sharing 😅

[@BJNemeth]

Absolutely not. The difference in physical size between storing one sound and thousands of sounds is negligible. The larger physical design constraints are the speaker and the battery.

[@MorristheMinor]

Just two things - 1st, Legoland Town didn't become known as 'City' until the 1990s. 2nd, In the 1980s, Lego did include different stickers for each country in their Train sets. BR for Britain, etc, etc.

[@aubreypotter96]

4:57 now thats a *tthhhhhiiiick* brick

[@JollyMcCrowner]

I’m not sure much people cared about the old sets, but now we’re gullible Lego-buyers

[@CISMTUBE]

Yea

[@Songal18]

I agree that Ninjago sets would be great with sound bricks, imagine a dragon with one or a mech with a giant sword.

[@Timecop1983]

Cool! I still have the light&sound fire truck and police car. Loved it when i was young. I annoyed my parents so much with that beeping siren sound. 😁

[@wayre11]

6454 & 6456 ... space rocket and space shuttle ... powered by AA batteries, making noises and light effect ... still having this wonderful sets - not exactly sound brick, but still lights and sounds

[@wingedragoon]

no mention of the Lego Insectoids theme soundbricks? watched the entire video waiting for that one to show up! kinda disappointing, I had one of those and I loved it!

[@e.r.6039]

I think many Lego sets would benefit from a sound brick playing the song "We`re in the money" to remind us of the price we just payed...

[@benvars5889]

6:45 this image broad back memories i didn't know i had, i never got the set because i was too small but it looked so cool

[@kentslocum]

Just to be clear, the LEGO IDEAS Lighthouse set doesn't include a lightbrick. It has a Technic battery box, a motor, and wired train headlights.

[@LaserMob.]

one idea is add the sound block as part of a set upgrader like the unofficial ones to light the titanic or colosseum

[@peterbumper2769]

I would imagine that with the Harry Potter sound brick, you also need to pay the actor who did the speech and the script writer who wrote the script. All these things add up

[@Damien.D]

to be fair, tiny speakers always sounds... tiny. It's a physical limitation. Just compare to model trains with sounds. The quality is always on the low-fi side, despite a sound fitted loco being in the realm of a 200+$/£/€ purchase.

[@AntonioNoack]

There are tricks to do better though, like used in phones via a chamber of tiny plastic balls.

[@trevorhaddox6884]

One of my kid relatives got the Mario set last Christmas. Being the AFOL in the family my jaw dropped at the amount of features on the box. I whisperd something like "That is definately more expensive then the robot dinosaur [X] got." Maybe he'll actuall become a big Lego fan. They've come along way since the light and sound shuttle set I got in 2000 (which you forgot to mention).

[@zsombor_99]

From the 80's I still have two original white Police 9V battery holders, two black sirens, a few plates with metal contacts and two lights without the colour caps ‒ these might be the rarest pieces in my big inherited box of mixed Lego. 🙂 Sadly all the manuals and catalogues are long gone, leaving me just a box of pieces and my not too vivid Lego creativity. 😐

[@mb2000]

Not sure when mine are from, but I have a police battery box, one from the airport fire truck (at 5:09) and a yellow one from a digger/trailer combo. Plus two of the twisty siren pieces, 3 four stud/two light pieces, one single light, a wire piece, two 8 or 10 stud pieces with 3 lights in the sides each and two lightable roadworks signs. I used some of them to make a scanner bar for the Technic Super Car so I could pretend it was KITT from Knight Rider!

[@zsombor_99]

@@mb2000 Cool. When I was younger I didn't knew much about things and we never tried purring battery into the actual holder, I don't know why. I tried pinching two wires between two electrical conducting Lego plates to get things working, but that was just a short "experiment". Later when I got older I finally put in a battery to try it out properly, the whole thing was kinda "meh", I stored away the electric things separately from all the other Lego I have ‒ I forgot where I put them.

[@FastRide2]

I had the red motorcycle. Loved it. But it had more sounds. If you kept holding it down, it would making a racing sound for as long as you held it down.
