When a client compared their fridge hum to a bee swarm

In my experience, I was fixing a loud refrigerator at a house. The owner said the noise was just like a bee swarm, which made me laugh but also helped pin down the fan problem. Take this with a grain of salt, but do you often hear funny ways people describe appliance sounds?

Oh man, the bee swarm is a good one. Did you ever get someone say their washing machine sounds like a whale song? I had a client last year who was sure their old dryer was making a foghorn noise every time it turned. It was just a worn belt squealing, but her description was spot on. People come up with the best stuff.

Yeah, @skyler_lopez nailed it, we all hear music in machine noises.
