Know your car sounds


Bruce Nunnally

Recommended Posts

http://mygmlink.com helpfully defines the following sounds to assist with communicating to a service tech when you have a noise in your vehicle.

I find it amusing that they feel this list is necessary, but pass it along so we all are on the same page for car sounds.

Noise It sounds like...

Boom

Constant bass drum roll; distant thunder

Click

Camera shutter; retractable ball point pen

Clunk

Heavy door closing

Grind

Sharpening an ax on a grinding wheel; garbage disposal

Growl

Angry dog

Hiss

Air escaping from a tire; steam from a radiator

Knock

Knock on a door

Rattle

Baby's rattle; stone bouncing around in a can

Roar

Lion; waterfall

Rumble

Bowling ball rolling down alley

Spit

Drop of water on a hot skillet

Squeak

Tennis shoes on a wooden floor; mouse; door hinge that needs oil

Squeal

High-pitched squeal of a pig; fingernails scraping on a blackboard

Whine

Electric drill motor; mosquito; unhappy kid

Whistle

Tea kettle boiling; toy whistle

They left out that clunky/thunky/clicky/rattly noise you get when you mistakenly leave a magic 8 ball in the glove box. Otherwise, I'd have to say they pretty much covered it. B)

There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises
