Tibetan monks in my kitchen

[kally]

you know how some of your appliances make funny noises. Well.... my dishwasher sounds like Tibetan monks doing that really low throat chanting.

I think they are saying

Ya haidinga, ya haidinga,
which loosely translates in my mind to ---- never mind about the mess.

Do any of your appliances speak to you?

Most everything in my kitchen just scream "clean me!". >8)

My refrigerator say Oh clunk, my aching, gronk, back, ohwhataworld

The dehumidifier periodically develops and low angry whine

[puglogic]

My refrigerator hums: "Mmmmmmmmmmmmm."

(as in, did you forget I have leftover pumpkin pie inside me?)

My faucet says "plip, plip, plip."

my mom used to say she had a seagull in her old freezer. About once an hour it would squawk, just like a seagull.
And out pipes from the toilet like to do a little opera singing a very high tone from time to time. I like to personalize the sounds around me.

Kally, this thread just makes me smile :)

One of the elements on my stove sounds like a clock winding when I turn it on, and whenever I'm using the large element on the left, it pops intermittently (every few minutes) to remind me that, yep, I'm on...

my frige usually sounds like a lion "r r r r r r r r r r r r r r............"

This thread is hilarious.

My washer makes the "Uga chukka, Uga chukka" sound from that dreadful song "Hooked on a Feeling." That is a ear worm I could live without!

I love this thread. I was at my sisters house a few days ago and she came out of her pantry and was all upset. Something in there was making a loud vibrating kind of sound. She has an upright freezer in there but it didn't seem to be that. There's a radiator in there and the sound was louder there but if you touched it there wasn't an vibration. She's extremelty paranoid about her heating system because she has radiators that are at least 80 years old. So she started to panic and well up with tears. I started crawling around on the floor listening. I determined the sound was coming from inside one of her cabinets. I opened it up and bingo! Something fell over in there and hit the on button on her electric flour sifter. We laughed and laughed.

I have never heard of an electric flour sifter, but glad you figured out the problem.

My upright freezer makes a noise like when you rub your finger around the top of a wine glass that has water in it. It does it every time I shut it.

At work we use a carpet sweeper. When I 'run' it, I swear it is saying "Redrum! Redrum!"
