I like this riddle because of its classic form. No gimmicks. Just a straightforward riddle with a real and reasonable answer (which I could not get).
My first answer was a baby. Pull out that binky (inplug the baby?) and cacophony ensues.
My second answer was a smoke alarm. I know they make noise when the battery goes dead, but I don't really believe the wired models complain when their power is cut.
I shoulda though of bathtub!
