Sounds you don't hear anymore

The distinct sound of a metal oil spigot puncturing, and then sliding into, a can of oil.

 

Presumably the little window was so that the suspicious customer could see what he was buying.  "How do I know you're actually putting gasoline in my car?  You're standing there with a hose, and the numbers are going around and a bell keeps ringing, but what does that prove?"  In the window he could see the gas, and if the marbles were bouncing around, that proved that the gas was flowing somewhere.

 

The distinctive "bink" sound in the recording when you were supposed to forward the film strip one frame.

 

A day without a 'BOO YEAH'

 

Some great ones here. Sounds as if the crackling sound at the start of a frequently-played record on a turntable made an impression on a lot of us.

Since I used to work in a theatre, I remember the sound during the changeover, when the guy had to switch the projectors and slap in another roll. You could hear a "clank" as he released the just-completed film roll from the projector.  There was always a little black dot in the right corner of the screen several seconds before the change that was his cue.

And for my Canadian friends: "This is Howie Meeker, coming to you from high in the gondola overlooking Maple Leaf Gardens."

Speaking of gas stations, do any of them have the rubber hose you drove over that set off the dinger to let the guy know he has a customer?

 

Wow, there's one from the past....

 

Leo mentioned the earpieces that vibrate instead of a phone ringing... those are already here.

my bluetooth will vibrate to let me know a call is incoming, and if I have my ringer off on my phone, no one would know!

My most missed sound?

The sound of metal spikes on the cart path while playing golf.

 

Great call on the metal spikes.

Sounds I don't hear any more?

"Can I see some ID?"
