Does anyone know where I might obtain audible props, some things that would appeal to the visually impaired? Or something that would help blind people play catch, an audible bean-bag or frisbee? Googling shows objects that beep but I hope there are cooler solutions. They have to make sound while they are in the air, not just on impact.

Not sure if it's much help but I found these: https://www.petqwerks.com/babbleballs.php# (You can click to hear the sounds). There are some for sale on ebay too.

The 2 3/4 inch Animal ball at the bottom of the page looks ok.. smooth and has the least annoying sounds. I quite fancy one myself!
Hmmm, maybe these: https://www.jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=1209&SmallID=8303&#Small8303

Hey my post
I have no idea of where you might get any, you might have to have some made specially, but what you need are audiballs (I have a set of three).
These consist of two hemispherical shells with bits of metal inside welded in a few points but with gaps wide enough to magnify the sound but not wide enough for the metal inside to fall out.

Interesting lead. Googling audiballs finds a 2004 r.j discussion amongst several edge people. The name has been hijacked for an Xbox guitar exercise and also, probably naively, for a student project here j

They've come up in conversation several times over the last few months, so I think the internet could do with some video of audiballs in action. Any chance you could film some so I can remind myself how awful they sound pass it on to people who have asked about them?
I'm quite sure I can Paul. I will also throw in some Guy Heathcote Ball Sticks into the mix in case the audiballs are too quiet.

If you could arrange for someone to accidentally knock a selection of shaker cups off a table with a jitter ring in the background, that would complete the mid 90's cacophony.
Even better if you can find someone with one of those chiming metal devilsticks...
I can find the shaker cups and jitter ring. The chime devilstick is much rarer. Know anyone who has one?

Nick from London (I don't know his surname, and he's not fully credited) uses one about 3 minutes in to completing the circle:

But that was shot 10 years ago, and I don't know if he's still around or still has it.
I say that, but having just watched it (to see if his full name is mentioned) I think it might just be a length of pipe. I seem to remember the chime devilsticks being tapered?
Nick's still about and he's still performing with that devilstick, but it is something he picked up from a skip! It does make for an excellent prop.
Having nothing better to do, I watched the whole thing, was quite interesting.
Is his name not Nick Putz? He is the only Nick in the credits at the end, and he seemed to have enough talking that he would be credited....
btw: Nice cameo from you LP.

That is indeed Nick Putz.
that would complete the mid 90's cacophony
How about a backing group of Chinese whistling diaboloists?
I have one of those as well. Let me see if I can bring them all to Upchuck and do a small video.
Nigel
That should guarantee LP not showing
I think you're looking for something like this:

I guess similar props could be made reasonably cheap, provided you have the know-how - which I don't :)
Hope this helped!

Oh, and if you're interested in how it works, here are some detailed explanations:
