It sounded like a machine in the walls suddenly turning on. Sometimes for a half a second, sometimes for a minute. On and off, on and off! It&#8217;d come on a bit more around 11am or so so I thought it might be related to kids going to the nearby bathroom. When it was happening and I had the opportunity, I&#8217;d run around the building looking for the source. It wasn&#8217;t the air conditioning, wasn&#8217;t the bathrooms, wasn&#8217;t the heaters, wasn&#8217;t the neighboring classrooms playing with power tools. I talked to the school custodian, to the neighboring teachers. But they all thought I was mad. I wasn&#8217;t mad! I wasn&#8217;t! I swear it!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What&#039;s that sound?

A water hammer in the sink of the classroom two doors down. So simple! When the kids were cleaning up from morning work, they&#8217;d turn on the water. Curiously, it was quieter in the room with the offending sink than in mine.<\/p>\n<p>I got the most joy when Ms. S. the teacher one door down told me how <strong>for the last DECADE<\/strong> she was explaining-away that horrible sound to her students. We were both beaming!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Water Hammer!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/krPKFNx3op4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I went to the custodian and explained what was going on.
