Is it possible to develop perfect pitch? If so, I have it ...
At least, I have it for one note. I think I could go 50 years and if you asked me to hum a B flat, I could do it.
For the last 3 months, our pipes have hummed a B flat every time we turn them on too far. If I wanted to do the dishes, I had to turn the faucet down until it barely had any pressure. Either that, or I could try to think of as many songs as I could that would work with a constant B flat in the background.
(Tangent)
The reason I know it's a B flat is because I checked on our piano ... You can just call me Holmes, Sherlock Holmes.
(End Tangent)
So, we finally had a repair guy come to look at it. It took 3 months because we would keep forgetting it until we had to turn on the water. Then we'd think, "Oh crap, I forgot to call the plumber."
Finally, I remembered.
They came the other day, and the only thing worse than having pipes hum a constant note is having the plumber, the guy who is supposed to be milking every dollar out of you, say, "You know, I really hate to charge you because it was such an easy thing to fix."
Yup, that's what he said.
I told him I didn't care and that I was just glad the noise stopped.
Oh, and P.S.: He still charged me.

I feel your pain...I have an old air conditioning unit on the roof above me at work that constantly rattles a samba beat
