You know how kids like to imitate the sounds of animals and nature in general while they go around playing?

We all did the same so you know what that was like but this woman named Geneviève Côté takes it to a different level.

The “Got Talent” shows are always entertaining, but they’re mostly aspiring singers and dancers, with a few magicians and ventriloquists here and there.

But this is the first time a “Noise Maker” has stolen the spotlight.

Côté has the biggest smile on her face as she takes to the stage and does the usual pre-performance chat with the judges.

But the moment the lights dim and she takes to the microphone, an awakening of sorts happens.

“I like making noise,” Geneviève told the judges at the beginning of her audition.

And she wasn’t lying.

Côté went on to create a series of wildlife sounds that echoed around the auditorium.

She had the panel and audience initially confused but then they began to understand her unique talent.

Watch and listen closely.

Even YouTube viewers were stunned.

“In all my years of watching or covering ”Got Talent,’ I never thought I would be moved by an act like this. That was one of the most epic auditions I have seen on any ‘Got Talent’ platform so far this decade. Congratulations, Genevieve!!!” says one.

Another had this to say,

“It’s a performance that can be expanded/added to in order to make a complete artistic stage show too. Drums, lighting and set design, some dancers – the combos and aesthetics that could be used to bring her sounds to life are limitless. I can’t wait to see what she does with a full production team.”

That’s a wonderful idea!

From crickets, and birds, to what sounded like a wolf and even her own voice, Côté unleashes an incredible combination of sounds you’d normally hear from watching the television.

Geneviève even showed off a powerful singing voice!

She was born in Montreal, and raised in Laval, always imitating sounds as a young girl as the world fascinated her.

This talented Canadian is also a comedian and an author.

But it’s this performance that impressed seasoned judge, Howie Mandel.

“I have always had an issue with the fact that I was forced, forced, to leave Canada to go do what I wanted to do,” he told Geneviève.

“My biggest dream is to find something that we haven’t seen before. Something that will say, ‘This is this person from Canada. This is a talent.’ And you know what? This is the moment that it happened for me.”

With that said, he gets up and hits the golden buzzer, raining golden confetti down on the noise maker.

Tears flowed and smiles broke out as Côté embraced Mandel on stage.

She’s even joined by her boyfriend and friend in celebration of her victory.

Don’t let anyone tell you that noise won’t get you anywhere!
