Sounds like a great idea! Realistic Train sounds are played when the puzzle pieces are properly placed on the board. It's a fun and unique way to reinforce cause-and-effect; early vocabulary and matching skills.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good quality...
Comment: This is a very good quality wooden puzzle...it would take quite a bit of chewing, throwing, and jumping up and down on to break it. (Ours is still in good condition.)
As far as the "random" choo-choo's go - the sound is light activated; when the lights go out (as in, when all the puzzle pieces are put into place), it makes a choo-choo sound.
The only criticism for this is that the "recommended age" could probably be lowered to 2 or 2.5 years old. Our 3 year old loses interest quite quickly, and he loves trains (and liked simple puzzles like this about 6-12 months ago.) He still enjoys the CHOOOOCHOOOO sound of this puzzle, though.

Summary: Train noise is disappointing
Comment: For wrapping, I didn't want to take the plastic off this puzzle, so I only put the batteries in when my granddaughter opened it Christmas morning. We were all disappointed; the noise sounded more like an animal than a train. She didn't "get it" at all. I guess the lesson would be to try it first before buying.

Summary: Will make sound unexpectedly
Comment: This puzzle looks and feels sturdy. However, it will sound unexpectedly even when the puzzle is not in place. Sometimes it will give you a creepy feel because of it. Mine will sound especially when I turn my lights off (even without all the puzzle pieces in place!). Sometimes it will sound when I walk by it. On the other hand, it won't sound even after I put the puzzle together 5 out of 10 times. I won't recommend it.

Comment: How cute! You finish the puzzle and the train whistle blows! My grandson adores it!

Summary: One of the Best Puzzle Makers Out There
Comment: I love Melissa and Doug puzzles - and this one is no exception. My son loves putting things together. As a mother, I get tired of the lights and sounds toys that over-stimulate children and teach them little anyway.
In regards to the sound "going off" - if it really bothers you that much then don't put the batteries in. I am THRILLED that the sound is not as loud as those other LeapFrog, Playskool and other toys that could deafen a child if you stay too close for too long. Of course the sound goes off when the lights go out - only if you have not cleaned up and put the toy away. We have NO problems at all and encourage anyway to buy it and other like it. My 18 month old can put it together on his own, so don't always go by the "recommended" age.
In regards to the peg problem, we are pretty strong people and never had a peg problem nor realized they could possibly come off. They are so small the worse case scenario would be the child will swallow it whole (because it is not big enough to choke anyone) and it comes out the other end.
