thunder sticks
Arena noise batons
Thunder sticks are inflatable plastic tubes that fans bang together at sporting events to create noise.
They come in pairs and produce a loud clapping sound when struck against each other.
Also called bang sticks or cheer sticks, they're distributed at games to amplify crowd noise: The arena was deafening with thousands of thunder sticks.
