Can you guess this secret sound ? it's tricky

a reply to: Skybird

with the Master Thief one, it might be 'a piece of cake' ? know what i mean jelly bean?

a reply to: scubagravy

Wow, good list! One different thought I had on clue number 2 was:

2. Traveling Wilburys can be a 'mixer'.

11. In the USA, this is one of the links I see when I search for 'Eagle fry'

Not sure if the same thing would show up for Aussies but really, at this point I would just be calling in that game show as many times as possible, lol. See what they say and take it from there. That prize... o-m-g.

After my previous comment/guess I kept on (and will keep on) searching. Here are some thoughts I have:

One theme in most of the clues list could possibly be 'lock'. Most likely one with numbers (keno clue and no key clue).

2 Clues point to navigating and/or a pilot: obviously 'cheers to the great navigator' and maybe, more surprisingly, part of 'fry like an eagle'.

I searched for Eagle synonyms and both navigator and pilot popped up.

Now, the big trick is: how to combine the words 'lock' - 'navigator' / 'pilot' in an everyday item that almost everyone knows??? Heh

Hi scubagravy, hi everyone!

Ok, so I have a guess, it's probably wrong. At 2am I was certain this was it, but today, I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
but maybe someone could tweek it...

So, according to the clues,
the lock theme seems to fit.
but a lock being locked or unlocked has already been guessed.

So, I was thinking, if you have no key, you're not going to be unlocking or locking, but you would locked out.

and the clues seem to suggest that something is locked,
not being locked or unlocked.

So, could it be the sound of a door handle or knob
when attempting to open, jiggling the handle or door knob, of something that is locked, locked door, or cabinet, etc.

I listened to some sound bites of attempting to open locked door, jiggling a handle or knob that is locked, and some of them sounded very close,
so maybe it needs to be more specific, like a particular car door handle, etc.
Or, maybe the Flinders station lockers!


Looking at the clues, this locked theme seems to fit most of them:
1. Wedding = joined together = locked
2. Traveling Wilburys = locksmith story
3. Keno - no key backwards, =if you have no key, you are locked out
4. You don't have to be a master thief
5. 2 become 1 = joined = locked
6. Double action - Double action lock
7. Before Use = you need to unlock before use, so it's already locked
8. Cheers to the great navigator
9. Start or Finish = could be locked before you start, then locked when finished
10. No Key - if you have no key, you are locked out
So you jiggle the handle!


Heres one foom you tube.

You are genius

a reply to: BugWhisperer

i love your attempt, but the 2 main clues are still amiss........ master thief and the cheers to the great navigator.


couldnt get through again this morning, had to listen to crap repeating guesses that it seems that most who ring are not even taking the clues into account just vommiting guesses from nothing.

Meanwhile myself and my friends here at ATS are thinkers, looking at all aspects of the clues.

Someone even said putting a VHS tape in to a player............ only been said like 84 times...... just ping off and let me get through lol

Double post

1. Wedding: cake
2. Traveling Wilburys: she 's got her pudding in the oven (she's my baby lyrics)
3. Keno: Poker, an oven accessory

5. 2 become 1
6. Double action: open/close - lock/unlock

Anything yet?

I'm out of ideas but, I hope someone can figure it out.

It has to be so obvious, IMO, that it is being overlooked.

Someone could do a lot of good with that amount of money, for themselves OR others.

LOL, not really a writer


Hiding from chef !!!!!

a reply to: scubagravy

by golly i think i have it this time.....

I can not say just yet, i have to wait till monday morning (friday here now) till i get another crack at it.

The other morning , ATS was mentioned on our local radio. After a caller had a guess, the announcer said great answer but thats not it, but did ask how you got that answer..... The caller replied ' i got some idiot on a website doing all the work for me '........

Bastards.

P.S. They say the list of clues are cryptic, but i take it you guys guessed that.

This is the sound of opening and closing of a cash register drawer

a reply to: M5xaz

4. you don't have to be a master thief- anyone can rob a cash register, do not need to be a safe cracker
8. Cheers to the great navigator- Magellan - it's also a brand of electronic grocery store scanner and scale that connects to cash register at checkout.

So , yes, sound is that of opening and closing the cash drawer on a cash register

a reply to: M5xaz

Problem:

It has been said over 10 times.

It is not a cash drawer my friend.
