De acuerdo con Simon & Schuster, una matraca is a baby rattle. Noise makers are different.

WHISTLE o HORN si suena

I agree that is not the \"common\" name, but it doesn\'t seem to exist one that describes that kind of party favour specifically. Maybe
* blow out horn * or * blow out whistle *
would do the trick.

About \"noise makers\" and \"matracas\":
In Uruguay, a \"matraca\" is a wooden (or plastic) party favour that turns on a stick. It goes \"ra-tat-tat-tat\". They are what we call \"noise maker\" here in the Mid-West.
There is a larger version of the \"matraca\" that is considered a musical instrument.

I never hear of "musical party blow outs" either, even though that's what the manufacturer calls them. That's why I made the other suggestions. Thank-you for your comment.
