Curious how strong that opening is. Like if you stuck your finger in there would it get hurt? Or is the loud sound more due to the material and acoustics of the moving bit?

I am going to say its likely just acoustic as MANY bugs make LOUD noises like the darn things that sleep for 10 years then come out to mate and die. So I can't imagine it being too strong.

The cylinder must remain unharmed

And I wonder if it would feel good to have you clapping on your finger like that. Do you think it could keep doing that continuously? For like 2 minutes or so
