What is a "rattle"?
A rattle is a percussion instrument consisting of a container filled with small objects, such as beads, seeds, or pellets. When shaken, these objects move around and strike the inside of the container, producing a rhythmic, shaking sound. Rattles come in various shapes and sizes, from handheld versions to larger, more complex instruments. They are used in many musical traditions around the world, including folk, ceremonial, and contemporary music, to add texture, rhythm, and a distinctive sound effect to performances.
