How Sound is Your Sound Mark Knowledge?

The PTO's "Kids' Pages" include a page (here) full of links to registered (and a few pending) sound marks. So if your weather is as dreary as Boston's and you're stuck inside at lunchtime, try identifying each of these ten sound marks (listed in no particular order). First click the SOUND link, then click on the registration number for the answer.

"Description of Mark" for #8, aka Reg. No. 2,210,506 (below).

How difficult would it be for one to reproduce the sound mark on the basis of its description alone?

I'm in an office, so I haven't tried it yet...

Yet...

"The mark is a yell consisting of a series of approximately ten sounds, alternating between the chest and falsetto registers of the voice, as follow - 1) a semi-long sound in the chest register, 2) a short sound up an interval of one octave plus a fifth from the preceding sound, 3) a short sound down a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 4) a short sound up a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 5) a long sound down one octave plus a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 6) a short sound up one octave from the preceding sound, 7) a short sound up a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 8) a short sound down a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 9) a short sound up a Major 3rd from the preceding sound, 10) a long sound down an octave plus a fifth from the preceding sound."
