What is this strange noise coming from my kitchen sink?

I live in a one bedroom apartment with about 16 units. Since I moved in 2 years ago, I’ve heard a strange clanking sound coming from my kitchen sink. It hasn’t happened as often as before, but I can’t figure out what it is.

I just got my garbage disposal cleaned out by a pro. and he can’t figure out what it is either. Darn the person above my apartment. If she ever clogs her drain, mine will get clogged, too. But that’s not it.

I thought it might be some kind of animal, but it’s not. It sounds like someone is dropping silverware down the pipe. My disposal works fine - use vinegar and baking soda, etc. and keep it clean.

Anyone with any clues as to what this is and how to get it to stop. It’s kinda creepy.

Oh, and a side note, I wish people in upstairs apartments would be careful about toilets and sinks not clogging up. The downstairs people will suffer :-(, and with a hefty bill I might add.

My moms kitchen sink will make a loud noise when the water drains out. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. She wanted me to find out.

How do I keep my kittens off the kitchen counter & out of the kitchen sink?

PrincessShine asked:


I recently adopted 2 kittens and they just love to climb on my kitchen counters and in the sink when I am not around. I have caught them doing this a few times and usually they will jump down when they see me. But is there a way to keep them off those surfaces? I heard using a cleanser with and Orange scent supposedly works (I tried it..didnt work for me). Any suggestions?
