Hi there,
The bull-roarer makes a humming or whirring sound when spun around rapidly. 
Aboriginal men used these as a signal to the women and children to keep away 
from their secret ceremonies.
If you listen to the start of the song, the noise before the guitars kick in 
is a bullroarer. Also, if you watch that classic (?) old 80's comedy, 
Crocodile Dundee, you will see him using one to signal someone. It is 
basically a piece of wood on the end of a long piece of string, which you 
twirl around your head. It makes different sounds depending on how fast you 
twirl it.
See ya
Stephen
