Babbles, shrieks, screams, and hiccups that sound like squeaky toys: Every night, your little bundle brings the noise.

Quiet her with Flensted Click-a-Mobiles. The Danish designs dangle peacefully overhead, with no noisy motors or music. Choose from six colorful styles (cars, sailboats, trains, kittens, airplanes, butterflies), each with a modern, Calder-esque feel.

Mobiles are packaged flat and semiassembled on strings and thin wire hangers. All you have to do is fold and click the lightweight components together for a 3-D effect.

Seen from below, they appear to flutter, soothing Baby.

Welcome to the sound of silence.

Available at Hadley, 1205 West Webster Avenue, at Racine Avenue (773-883-0077). To see styles, go to flensted-mobiles.com.
