I wonder if anyone has made an electric kettle that makes a train-like steam whistle -- nm - Beryllium Nov 24, 12:23 3
- the whistle is to remind you that you have a kettle on the stove, electrics probably would shut off once the water ran out -- nm - Zirak Galeistur Nov 24, 12:26 2
  - My electric shuts off when it's done. I was just thinking it would be fun to have a steam-powered shutoff noise. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 24, 12:29 1
    - you could probably take the whistle cap off a kettle and fix it on your electric? hollow out a cork and glue the whistle on the end - Zirak Galeistur Nov 24, 12:33
