Question: What is the noisiest thing in your house?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: The noisiest thing in my house is probably the washing machine.

Reason: Washing machines can produce a significant amount of noise, especially during the spin cycle.

Example: For instance, when the washing machine is running, it can be difficult to hold a conversation or hear other sounds in the house.

Alternative: While washing machines are a common source of noise in many households, other appliances or devices such as air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, or musical instruments may also be sources of noise.
