squeaky toys

Dogs love these

Squeaky toys are pet toys—typically rubber or plastic—that make a high-pitched sound when compressed.

The squeak mimics prey sounds and triggers hunting instincts in dogs, who often chew obsessively until they "kill" the squeaker: The dog destroyed another squeaky toy in five minutes.

The term sometimes describes any annoyingly noisy plaything.
