why cant they make quiet kettles?

[whisky]

Your trying to listen to the radio, someone puts the kettle on, and then it starts roaring like train passing through a tunnel till its done.

Surely science has the answer?

Options:

• Buy a decent brand. I've seen some that you don't know the water is hot until the light goes off.
• Install one of those hot water doodads that give you boiling water on tap.
• Wear headphones when listening to the radio.
• Turn up the radio to drown out the kettle
• Horribly murder the offending person by pouring boiling water in their eyes and while they are screaming in pain, bludgeon them with the kettle repeatedly.

That's all I've got. I usually go with the last one but I'm running out of room the crawlspace under the house.

technically I shouldnt have the radio on at all, so turning it up is probably not the way to go

If you're at work I recommend option four but obviously you follow them home, kill them, their family, their pets and burn the house down after robbing them to buy a much more quiet kettle at work. Then sue your place of employment for emotional distress and claim the workplace environment made you kill.

We have an electric tea kettle at my house, it does not make any loud noises.

I thought the point of the noise was to let you know it is done

Theres usually a click for that

 

[Dr Dave]

Yeah they click when they are done.
