the sound it produces can be altered with a fair amount of control - narrower gives a higher tone, wider gives a deeper tone. longer will increase the volume (and to some extent how well it carries) scallops on the edges will give something more akin to a whistle, while a more pronounced ovid will give a longer duration "buzz" a longer cord can also allow for louder noise IF the bullrorarer has enough weight; it does require a fair amount of speed so it will start spinning under the air resistance and twist of the cord.

She gave us bits and pieces of things and showed us how to make bull roared, buzz buttons, string hand games, sling shots, vibration propellers and lots of other fun ,busy games! Kept us occupied, outside and out of her hair and her clean house ! 😅😅Of course she also taught all of us how to cook, and bake all kinds of foods and pastries !

If you're in North America, tulip poplar is neat for this because you can find downed branches that are big enough to both provide the wood part and the inner bark is also strong enough to make the cord. (Stripping the bark takes some wetting for a day or so, but it's easy enough to get good long strips to peel out and separate the inner fibers.) Thus the whole thing can be made with natural materials using bushcraft or primitive methods.

Airfoil shape? Not really necessary. A more or less flat shape will always have a center of pressure at roughly 1/4 of the width from the leading edge, while the center of mass, and thus the line of the string, is at 1/2. Just like a strip of paper when dropped will always spin, a narrow strip of wood tied to a string always will. It's more pleasing to make a nice shape, though.

My folks and ancestors made what they called a bullroarer, but it wasn't anything like that. They'd take a lard can and punch a hole in the middle of the bottom, and thread a piece of thick string through with a length coming out the backside, and put fiddle rosin on the string and you'd pinch the string and pull on it. It makes a sound like a panther in the woods, which were still fairly abundant back then. I'm sure they got in trouble over as well.

If you are still experimenting try a long loop so the cord goes through the paddle hole once and ties together where your hand is. The cord will look doubled up. While spinning this allows the paddle to twist the cord, then once it’s tight the force of the twist makes the paddle rotation flip and spin the other way and loosen the twist till it tightens that way and it does this over and over. This is how you can really get them to hum.

I've been kind of fascinated with these ever since Crocodile Dundee. I've made lots of versions, basically every time I find anything that is roughly the right shape (dog tags, plastic tags, bits of wood, etc.). I've found that keeping them small and light makes them much easier to manage and the thinner the string, the longer the sound will last before switching modes. In the video, you can see an interesting phenomenon where the bullroarer oscillates between different positions depending on how it's rotating (you can see it going high and low when swung horizontally). Interestingly, you can do something similar without string by throwing anything relatively rectangular with a little bit of backspin. If you get it right, the Magnus effect will cause the object to fly around in the air and make the same kind of bullroarer noise.

If the cordage was already twisted in one direction, swinging it in the direction that would exacerbate that twist would definitely make it make it rotate, and thereby make sound, more quickly.

I haven't made any with notches yet, but it must affect the sound in some way. Just tapering the edges versus leaving them square makes a noticeable difference, so notches would probably have an effect too.

If you recall the movie "Crocodile Dundee" from 1988 there is a scene where Mick makes a (outback) "phone call" using a bullroarer. This link shows a low quality version of that scene - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4GkioGGithoqKs

I imagine a snap swivel would keep the line from twisting up.

The twisting is where the sound comes from - it causes the wood to spin.

I made one years ago with a large snap swivel, worked fine .
