Stupid question but can you get a noise cd like you can for dogs?

I'm not sure horses work that way - would they make the leap between a noise from a CD and something whilst you're out and about? If it's a specific noise you've got a problem with, get someone to make it whilst you feed him treats... they often go deaf when suitably motivated.
Horses get used to noise quite easily. Think of the bit in Black Beauty where he describes his first experience with the railway. We live next to a shooting school and can ride past guns walk, trot or canter without so much as twitching an ear.

Radio One. If they can stomach that, they'll tolerate a lot of things! All our foals get it at weaning. But why not the dog CD?

I have bought several C Ds of sound effects from Ebay/Amazon. They contain all sorts from cars, helicopters, sirens, bells, breaking glass, creaking doors. All sorts. The ones that got my pony really going were a galloping and a neighing horse.

Any ideas how to play a radio/CD player without mains power? Repeatedly buying batteries for portables tend to get expensive.
