One of the cool feature pieces in Snap Circuits Sound is the keyboard with optical theramin which will allow kids to make interesting sound effects. This gives the set a bit more play value as kids will want to spend some time trying out the effects rather than just take it apart and move on to the next project.
There's also a sound recorder which kids can use to record their voice or other sounds and play it back at different speeds. Again, this is a project that actually does something and will keep kids entertained once they've built it.
Kids will also be able to use their (or your!) smart phone with an app to analyse sounds.
As usual with Snap Circuits sets, kids will be able to have fun and learn quite a bit as they follow the projects, but if they get really interested there's lots of potential to go deeper into the subject and learn a lot more.
