#669 Vacuuming a dirty carpet and hearing all the tiny rocks going through the hose

baby vacuumSince we’re lugging the heavy vacuum up from the basement, moving couches around, and getting the whole room smelling like hot dirt, it’s mighty nice when those rattling little pebbles pipe up and let us know it was alllllll worth it.

AWESOME!

    I hate hate hate vacuuming, so this sound keeps me going. It’s

    AWESOME.

  2. Hazel

    I haven’t been hearing that sound from my vacuum lately… I guess that’s an indication that I really need a new one.

  3. Lauren

    Best part about vacuuming the laundry is definitely the little tiny pieces of kitty litter making that sound.

    I also have one of those bagless vacuums, so emptying that is so satisfying!

  4. It’s this feeling is precisely why I LOVE to vacuum. Show those little scraps who’s boss!

  5. I test ran my sister’s vacuum cleaner yesterday and it was precisely this noise that made it so much fun!

  6. Elliot

    It’s so great when you hear this noise, lets you know that you’re getting the job done, and those pebbles (or whatever they are) don’t stand a chance!

  7. I hate cleaning… but when its all over, your right, totally worth it.

    Is that a bit of grit. Was that a piece of money? Or was that the treasure of the Sierra Madre??

    That sound is amazing!

    i never knew that other people thought this is awesome too! but it definitely is!

    Vacuuming is the only household chore I thoroughly enjoy doing! I vacuum my dorm room multiple times a week JUST so I can hear that sound. :D

  11. I love picking up all the dirt with the vacuum.

  12. I think it’s awesome when you create the rows of cleanliness in the carpet. It’s sort of a poor-man’s version of a well-kept baseball field.

  13. Shane

    I live for that.

  14. Rebekka

    It is so… Satisfying in some kind of weird way.

  15. Greg

    Ah yes. That most satisfying sound of gobs of dirt being removed from all the rooms of the house. The vac running on and on. Then when the vacuum is finally turned off and silence once again pervades my senses I usually say…..”oh hunny bunny….you missed a spot over there.” Then I run like……

    I have a brand-new bagless vacuum and there are few things I enjoy more than emptying that canister. I love comparing today’s pulverized carpet-crud to the day-before’s accumulation. Awesome!

  17. dem

    Great one! That is such a good, satisfying feeling.

  18. Melanie

    ABSOLUTELY!!! what a great sound!!

  19. Meghan

    oh man, i totally agree. i actually think about this everytime i vacuum. it’s so satisfying.

    I work at a hand carwash where we do interior cleaning as well as exterior, and I get to use a giant vacuum to pwn the dirt out of peoples car mats and carpets. Its my favorite part of the job. Some peoples cars are REALLY dirty. But not after I’m done with them. BMW carpets are the best, they vacuum out like a dream

  21. janelle

    Wow I thought I was the only one who loved this sound! It’s the best!

  22. Grammie R

    Six dogs, mud season. Lots – O – tiny rock sounds!
    Satisfaction!

    I’m usually a silent reader, but I absolutely HAD to post for this one. I recently discovered this site, and I’ve been waiting to come upon this entry. This is my absolute favorite thing. People tell me I’m weird when I say I like to vacuum, but hearing all the junk littering the floor get sucked in is the best music possible to my ears. Thank you thank you thank you for agreeing!

  24. Josh

    I was thinking about this all day while vacuuming the house, and then I stumbled on this website and started searching the archives. I wonder if there’s an AWESOME post on AMAZING COINCIDENCES :]]]] hopefully.

    My vacuum is either broken or it hates me. It sucks up about half the dirt, and then it sends the other half shooting out the back right at me. I fear the vacuum shrapnel.

    • I don’t enjoy vacuuming, but we have to do it. I am a once or twice a week person, and that w/ high traffic.

    • camiwa

      lol. Vacuum Shrapnel!! Love it. I had that problem for about a year, then my mom came to visit and told me I needed a new vacuum, she couldn’t believe I was still using the one she bought me for grad school (10 years previously, and it was a $30 vac.)

      She forced me to go to Target that very moment (it was like an hour after they arrived – a 15-hour drive.) I thought she was crazy, but since she was buying…

      The new vacuum totally ended the shrapnel problem.
