Party poppers are another well-known and popular noisemaker, especially for children.  Inside of the plastic bottle, just above the neck, there's a small explosive charge connected to a string.  In the "bottle" portion of the popper are about a dozen tiny rolls of confetti paper.  The string is built into the explosive charge in such a way that when pulled tight, the charge explodes, which blasts off the paper end cap and sends out streams of confetti.
