This is driving me batty! Our local radio station has a "Secret Sound Game," wherein a few times a day they play a secret sound and you have to guess what it is if you're the 15th caller. Every time an incorrect guess is made the prize money goes up by $100. Up to $3200 on this particular sound now..

Do you know what it is? Interested to hear your guesses!

Q. Can you guess this sound ?

A. Yes. ( 50:50 split on the prize money ? )

The real mystery is: what happened to the first reply to Carey77's question, the one including a link to the sound? Weird...Oh, yes, I listened to it and had a guess (probably wrong)

OK as you've agreed to give a "At least a few hundred bucks" if you win to Freesound.org I'll tell you what I think it is ...

I think the WKZL Secret Sound is a Tumble (clothes) dryer running whilst twisting the clunky control knob.

Clue#7: Magic [dryer ball].

1075 KZL Jason Goodman here, Here is the next clue for Secret Sound #4:

Hugh Laurie.

Jack pot is $4000! Our biggest yet!

Hugh Laurie plays Dr House. (So it's a household item then).

3. ELIGIBILITY: Sweepstakes open only to legal residents of the U.S. residing in the state of North Carolina or Virginia, 16 years of age or older.

Yeah, Hugh Laurie was clue #8, and they just added clue #9: Spaghetti.

Gotta be something to do with laundry. Someone already guessed clothes in a washing machine, so that's not it. I think your dryer guess might be a good one...

I cannot wait until this damn sound is guessed correctly! Driving me insane. heh

-Carey

I have no clue
Could it be something like a cheese grater? Or an air freshener? I also thought about a thing to punch holes in paper. Or a stapler or something, but it doesn't sound like that. Or a paper cutter, you know, those things with sharp knives.
It does appear to be something that's pressed and then released.

Timbre didn't say "clothes in a washing machine" he said the twisting of the knob of a washing machine while it is running.

Not sure if you caught on to that.

1075 KZL ... Secret Sound #4 just jumped AGAIN...NOW it's $5700,
... Wonder if that much money will buy some better weather; it's looking NASTY out there!

1075 KZL Secret Sound $5600 NOW!! The latest clue is: 'will definately be heard by many this weekend'

When the weather is "NASTY" (wet) you cannot dry clothes outside, so you have to use, (all together now), a tumble dryer.

I reckon it is a printing press

I'm ineligible to participate in the contest, so can I get a side bet ?, Pj ? anyone ?

OK, I bet you a free voice over session that it's a printing press

I have a British English Accent, Low/Deepish voice

What you got Timbre :?:

I was thinking about cash, say a nominal $10. I pay you if it's a printing press you pay me if its a tumble dryer.

Before you accept the bet note the clues above: you'll see "printing press" doesn't fit, but tumble dryer does.

I tell you what - have a go at my Voice over request and I will consider the bet

No pressure! och the noo

Having read your voice-over request I think you'd be better off with a Taffy than a Jock.
