Task notes
- The contestants in this task remain seated, while Alex and Greg take to the stage, where a long drinks bar has been set up.
- On top of the bar are a series of items to be used to make noises.
- Each contestants has a pair of paddles with the words 'higher' and 'lower' on them to indicate their guesses.
- Although only three of the noises get heard during the episode, due to how quickly the task is won, footage of the contestants playing out the rest of the game for fun was released in the outtakes for the episode.
- The full list of noises is as follows: a small horn (107db); a packet of cereal (suspended from about a metre's height above the bar) landing on the bar (101.9db); an electric toothbrush being thrust in and out of a glass bowl full of glass marbles, in a regulation manner (90.7db); a small blender full of banana (70db); a can of fizzy drink being opened inside a traffic cone (113.5db); a party popper being set off inside a balloon (108.1db); a small battery-operated fan blowing up a party blower (100.9db); and a basketball bouncing off a snare drum (105db).
