A tin can telephone is a type of voice-transmitting device made up of two tin cans, paper cups or similarly shaped items attached to either end of a taut string or wire.

In 1664-1665 Robert Hooke experimented with sound transmission through a distended wire. In the centuries before tin cans and paper cups became commonplace, other cups were used and the device was sometimes called the "lovers' telephone". During the 20th century, it came into common use in preschools and elementary schools to teach children about sound vibration.

Hence, Tin Can Phone is invented in 1664-1665 by Robert Hooke.
