What tune did it play?

Mine started that this weekend, looks like its time to change the anode. Big socket, extension, rain parka, and 6' breaker bar ought to do it.

Just finished flushing ours and installing new anode rod about an hour ago. Rod was still in pretty good shape but installed new one anyway.

Probably not. Home water heaters do that also as lime builds up on the element. Most last for years and usually the water heater isn't close enough to your regular living space for you to notice.

Maybe, at something like the circling of the Montana's someone could mix the sounds and we'd have a musical production.

Examples of CACOPHONY
The sounds of barking dogs and sirens added to the cacophony on the streets.

The cacophony of phlegmatic and tubercular lungs was punctuated here and there by a moan or a scream of someone terrified, thrashing in the throes of a nightmare. —Ronald Gearles, Undoing Time, 2001
