This top hums melodiously as it spins; I've yet to meet a 2 year old that doesn't love it. Younger than that, they can't resist reaching out and stopping it, but once they turn 2 or thereabouts, they're able to let it run its course and enjoy the quieting of the sound, the increasing wobble of the top and the final clattery coming-to-rest. I notice the top spins clockwise until the last moment, when it reverses its spin and turns the other way; I wonder why it does that?
