Appreciation post: Tried to quiet a noisy steam trap with a rubber mallet in a Cincinnati plant and accidentally synchronized it to play 'Shave and a Haircut'.

The foreman walked by right as it hit the two knocks at the end and just said 'Two bits' before shaking his head and walking away, so has anyone else had a tool or piece of equipment develop a weirdly perfect rhythm?

Man, that's a classic. Reminds me of this old floor buffer at a school I worked at. The wheel bearing was shot and it would thump in this perfect, slow four-four time, like a heartbeat. We'd actually catch ourselves humming along to it while cleaning the gym. Never fixed it because the rhythm was weirdly calming.

That weirdly calming rhythm thing happens with broken fans and stuff too.
