It works, but not quite as good as you might think. The noise will annoy your coworkers to death.

Since when did I care if my coworkers died?
These make good intimidation tools. When a new recruit comes in, you just tell them, "these are your balls".

I put shock absorbers between each ball to reduce the noise, and it no longer works. Someday I will figure out the physics behind it.

Never understood how metal balls clanging together could be relaxing or entertaining.

The emphasis is on the balls, and the fact that they hang.
