There is a tube-like percussion instrument made of wood that holds a large number of beads, or something to that effect. When you turn the stick from one end to the other, or upside down from the original position, the beads travel through the stick to the opposite end resulting in a sound closely resembling rain or water flowing over rocks. Then you turn it back over and it repeats. It takes up to 30 seconds or so...that may be an exageration...for the beads to reach the other end. It's a very calming sound.
