Born on the quietest planet NoNoyz, the Soniks aren't TV stars or characters in children's books. Nope, the Soniks are actually plush dog toys, created with Silent Squeak technology that only dogs can hear. That's right, no more listening to the painful squeaking noise coming from your dog chewing on its favorite toy.

The Sonik's ultrasonic squeaker produces a sound with a frequency range between 25,000 Hz and 35,000 Hz, which is above the audible range for humans.

Now let's meet the family. There's SubSonik and SuperSonik (the parents); UltraSonik and HyperSonik (the teenagers); and the family pets, Woofer and Tweeter. (I should consider buying one for my brother's puppy. Its squeaky lobster toy is so annoying.)  

The Soniks are priced at $2.57 to $5.39 and are available at Dog.com.
