Is There An Official Word For The Noise A Car Makes When It Drives Over A Manhole Cover?

[Teaandquizzes]

Is there an official word for the noise a car makes when it drives over a manhole cover?

[Calibax]

I doubt it. Why do you ask?

[dannyk13]

Grating

[aelmpvw]

isn't it the manhole that makes the noise?

[mallyh]

judder?

[THECORBYLOON]

Would the noise not vary according to the speed of the car and the depth of the manhole? The thickness of the cover would also effect the sound.

I think a university needs to set up research into this pronto.

[JJ109]

Yes Corby - there will be a grating rating!

[shoota]

Tyresome...

[douglas9401]

Already underway at Oxford, Corby, by a group of Rhodes scholars.

[shoota]

'Boxers' - think about it...

[douglas9401]

Intermittent and discontinuous acoustic disturbance

[smouse]

Most of the answers are taken straight off the Internet Disappointing quiz in my opinion

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, I saw you tell the setter Smouse, not really got into it yet.

[Tilly2]

bedump!

[Mamyalynne]

More laundry Tilly ?:-)

[smouse]

Even the pictures riddles are. No Lynne he never commented but he hasn't even changed the wording slightly

[Mamyalynne]

At first glance, I'll probably struggle with it, but we'll see.

[JJ109]

You don't think it is worth me downloading it then, do you smouse?
