They'd rig up PA systems on half-tracks that could broadcast sound up to fifteen miles, and would play recordings of mechanized infantry, tanks back-firing, fortifications being build, etc to fuck with Axis troops.

and THAT, dear friends, is noize. Just like the dazzle battleship camo designs.

when the little wire-recordings broke, they would solder them back together with lit cigarettes.

if you've ever seen "The Long And The Short And The Tall" it starts with a troop of soldiers in the jungle making recordings for exactly these purposes:
