Checking that HitPromo site shows me this. So you can easily buy one and customize it. Or, y'know, 100.
Poking around the seller's profile for a minute. They have a lot of college merch, none necessarily Cornell. However, the Stanford Cardinal (why not Cardinals??) don't seem to have ever used a C logo. My honest guess is someone got these made for some sorta Cornell alum meet-up or something of the like.
Could've been something they sold years back too. Like this one. I would wager it wasn't a giveaway item at a game because. uh. lol the noise.
The NCAA has a rule against giving out noisemakers after the RPI Big Red Freakout! game against Brown in 1987.

Didn't some team hand out single thunder sticks at some point? Since you need two for it to be a noise maker...

RPI did. See https://sports-chronicles.com/rpih/pages/special_games

You need one more stick or one friend

If a thunder stick falls in an empty hockey rink, does it make any noise?
"What... is your favorite color?"  "Blue. No, yel--auuuuugh!"

Hopefully not.

Thanks for those tried to answer my question. I'm just going to go with it being a CU cow bell. Not that it matters but I was curious.

Cardinal, as in color.  Not bird or religious figure
Ahh. Copy that!

When I lived in Bern, Switzerland, I was involved with the local baseball club.  The founder was a guy from Iowa, and so he called the club the Cardinals.  In Switzerland, no one knows about the bird, but there is a brand of beer called Cardinal.  Apparently the beer people would hassle him from time to time about using their name, and he had to explain the club was named after a North American bird, not a Catholic religious official.
