...the sound of dirt and crap being picked up by the vacuum? Haha, I love it, especially if it continues for awhile and finally goes away... knowing I've cleaned out that carpet real well!

omg thats funny

I sometimes put my ear to the hose. And the sound a new bag makes with dirt going in it is great.

I love the "ting" you get from the metal fan on a Kirby or Hoover.

I especially like the dinging and pinging as the debris goes thru a fan first vac with a METAL fan.Now you have to settle for the click clack of debris going thru a plastic fan.

Mee too, who says you need a dirt sensor lol. I to like the sound of debris pinging through the fan.The Eureka/Sanitare F&G bags are great for hearing the fine sand going thruogh the bag filler neck.

I also like the sound of stuff hitting into the bag-esp with fan first machines-I espcially hear this with my NSS M1 vacuums.The "THUUP" like sound.Also hear the sound with Royal metals and sometimes with my Kirby "G" type vacuums.And at the Greenville Sew and Vac-A lost coackroach looking for food -but in the wrong store-he should have gone to the restuarant next door-the roach made the LOUDEST "THUUP" when he was sucked into a Meile canister vacuum-and he left a greasy spot on its bag!

Thats one of my favorite things about vacuuming. I like it best with sand on carpet, and then I can hear it being thrown into the bag. Sounds really good on Orecks and Elites.

Pine needles,etc. My late mother used to sprinkle moth crystals (SNOWHITE) on the floor... late pick them up in the HOOVER 67. sounded great and smelled nice too.

I like putting my ear to the hose end as well, especially as the motor shuts down. Another thing I enjoy is looking into an Electrolux bag with the machine running to see the cyclonic suction action.

I too love the sound of a fan first machine picking up dirt and blowing it into a fresh bag. however I love cleaning a room with a canister machine such as an electrolux because you can hear the dirt going up the extension tube and through the hose due to the quiet hum of the motor. usually with todays machines all I hear is the motor and not the dirt.

OH!!! and one more thing, I also love the sound of the dirt going through my little riccar or shop vac with a 50ft hose attached to it when cleaning the car because the machine is usually a good 15 ft away and the hose is the type of hose used on pool filters so it is nice to hear the little pebbles and sand getting thrown about the walls of the hose.

I just love the sound of all that crap leaving my carpet.

electroluxx, no I didn't get anything, that email address isn't my real one, ask me for it later or I'll send it to the one in your profile! Sorry about the confusion!

My favorite is the sound of pine needles being sucked up in a Convertible or a Concept.

They leave the bag good-smelling, ugh, unlike wet dog hair which has been sitting there for a good month... like my aunt's Dirt Devil... I still have nightmares from that...

I love cleaning the garage with my central vacuum plugged into the inlet in the furnace room and hearing everything go through the 50 feet of hose I use down there and then through the roughly 40 feet of pipe to the Vacumaid cyclonic and hearing it then be whirled around and finally fall into the dirt bucket! Any excuse to vacuum is almost enough! LOL
