I agree. But who knows, maybe he just arrived on Earth from another planet.
At the 18U Western National this past week, bats were being checked at the same time as the teams were checking in. I was observing the bat testing process and got in a conversation with one of the coaches about bats in general and some of the things about a bat that are checked in a pregame inspection.
While I was talking abour rattling sounds when the bat was shaken, he (coach) make a remark about the weird sound the Xeno makes when it hits the ball. I explained to him about how the manufacturer designed the bat and why it makes that distinctive sound. He was amazed and told me that he had never heard that before.
This was a team from Northern California...hard to believe that he didn't know what caused the Xeno to make that disctintive click when the ball is hit.

Interestingly enough, ASA's August 2014 Rule Clarifications and Plays mentioned this bat (well, not by name - just bats with the characteristics of the Xeno).

I still don't know what the umpire on the field heard, but if it doesn't rattle when shaken, it should be good to go no matter what sound it makes when it hits the ball or your hand/ground/assistant coach.
