To gain a noisemaker, you have to hit a blue pin during lockpicking.

Near the beginning of the DLC when you're on your way to the Silver Fin Restaurant, you'll come across the first lock with blue pins. Hit one of the blue pins and open the door. You can't mess this one up because all six pins are blue. After the door is open, just restart the checkpoint. You'll start right in front of the door and each time the blue pin will count.

As noted by Sergeant JibJab, "you'll come across this lock by reloading the Toy Department chapter."

If you've already completed the DLC, you'll come across this lock by reloading the Toy Department chapter.

Grea tip Sergeant Jiblab. Taking a break from Xbox One, sick of the network issues. Nothing like some good old fashion 360.

Thanks for the solution and thanks sargeant jibjab for the extra info very helpful. Worked a dream. I was rubbish at doing this during the dlc so needed this chapter reload.

Should include that chapter select info in the solution.

If you happen to miss this achievo reload the chapter Return to Rapture. Make sure your noisemaker inventory is NOT full. You have to be able to pick up the new noisemaker. Jump over the counter behind you and use 3 picks on the door. If you miss it just reload the chapter and try again. Or keep going until you pop the achievement. Note that when you pick up the 3rd one it will show the counter on the screen but it does not show on 4 and on 5 it'll just pop the achievement.

Just an FYI...if you explore everything prior, and unlock all of the doors already, then your chapter reload will not work because there is no lock to pick.

Thanks for the info, ima19.

and Thanks for the vote SLN2012

Having your inventory NOT full is important - thanks for highlighting that, as I'd gotten 6 noisemakers but it still hadn't unlocked.

By UnmatchedBrace on 06 Apr 2014 20:33

Yep. And that's an important detail the other solutions are missing. Thumbs up from me.

By LeXXuz on 10 Apr 2015 19:33

Even if you have previously unlocked the door you can go behind the turret there and use a lockpick on it if you hadn't previously done so. Thumbs up.

By UDGuy on 30 Sep 2016 10:44

Positive vote, because all other solutions are an elaboration of the achievement description and tell what to do. But yours was handy as I just completed my play through!

This is a fairly easy achievement to obtain. To obtain a noisemaker, you must pick a lock, then when the slider moves up and down the tube, you must press X precisely when it hits a blue node. You will be picking plenty of locks throughout the game, so its quite difficult to miss this one. Just be careful not to hit the red node instead because that triggers an alarm.

Appears to be buggy. I got 7 and still no achievement.

By sabby boy on 25 Mar 2014 19:27

Sorry to hear that. Are you sure you hit the blue nodes?

By Yazite on 25 Mar 2014 19:32

Yeah the counter said 4/5 then I got another and no achievement. Still hasn't popped.

By sabby boy on 25 Mar 2014 19:53

Try starting a new game if it doesn't pop for you.

By Yazite on 25 Mar 2014 20:04

so i try to help u sorry for by bad language i got the same problem as u u have to lock that if u earn the noisemaker that u can do it in ur inventary so if look and u have 6 noismakers just shoot one hack the next and u will earn the achievement

By axelnator94 on 26 Mar 2014 09:13

Yeah ended up figuring that out! Thanks for the help though axelnator94.

By sabby boy on 26 Mar 2014 17:25

Can you reload checkpoint for this? There's a lock with all blue pins and wondering if I could just do that one 5 times.

By bs000 on 27 Mar 2014 00:14

Yes you could do that if you prefer. The game stacks achievement progress regardless of whether saves are overwritten.

By Yazite on 27 Mar 2014 14:21

it seems like there is a delay when pressing X. I press it, and it moves past the blue one and goes to the next one. Frustrating.

By Shadow XBL on 02 Sep 2014 14:51

Shadow, perhaps its something to do with your controller. Are you able to try with a second controller at all? I've never heard of this happening before.

By Yazite on 02 Sep 2014 15:26

I'll try a different one.

By Shadow XBL on 02 Sep 2014 16:35

this is popped a bit after I did it I guess - I did not see it pop but it's there.

To obtain a noisemaker you must pick a lock and when the slider moves up and down the cylinder, you must press precisely when it hits a blue pin. You will be picking plenty of locks throughout the game so you should have no problem getting this trophy and should get it early on in the DLC. Just be careful not to hit the red node as that will triggers an alarm. If you want to get the trophy as early as possible, there a checkpoint right before the door where the noisemakers first appear so you can farm them by reloading the checkpoint (credit to Terminator for this tip).

You also must have room in your inventory to collect noisemakers from lockpicks. You can hold 6 in total and if you have a full inventory, the lockpicks you use won't count for the trophy so clear some space to be safe.
