The '''Professional Noisemaker''' is a giant red [[Wikipedia:Megaphone|megaphone]] head, a [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is found on the last [[sublevel]] (5) of the [[Submerged Castle]], and is held by a vicious [[Waterwraith]]. When [[Olimar]] retrieves the Professional Noisemaker, the Pluckaphone, part of the [[Exploration Kit]], is made functional by [[the ship]].
The '''Professional Noisemaker''' ({{j|やかましメカ|Yakamashi Meka|Noisy Mecha}}) is a giant red {{w|megaphone}} head, a [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is held by the [[Waterwraith]], which can only be defeated on the fifth and final sublevel of the [[Submerged Castle]]. When this treasure is retrieved, the [[Pluckaphone]], part of the [[Exploration Kit]], is made functional by the [[Hocotate ship]]. Like [[Treasure#Dynamic weights|some other treasures]], if the player defeats the Waterwraith, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Professional Noisemaker, which requires the strength of 15 Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.
 
==Pluckaphone==
[[File:Pluckaphone.jpg|frame|left|Pluckaphone icon.]]
The Pluckaphone is a special item that powers the [[leader]]s' whistles with the ability to call buried [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] out from the ground, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent [[pluck]]ing them out. As well as picking newly produced Pikmin at the [[Onion]]s, this is useful for calling out Pikmin that were planted by a [[Mamuta]] or transformed by [[Candypop Bud]]s.
 
In the first trailer for ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Olimar is seen calling Pikmin from the ground, so the Pluckaphone may be an implementation of a [[Pikmin prerelease information|prerelease element]] from the first ''Pikmin'' game.

*The Pluckaphone was originally going to be called "Pluck Megaphone", judging from the [[Prototype information|early]] English script left inside the final version of ''Pikmin 2''.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Names The Cutting Room Floor's page on the early English script]</ref>
