appliancechoir
/əˈplaɪənsˌkwaɪə/nounVerified NewThe unscheduled chorus of beeps, chimes, and completion tones that modern appliances perform at unsocial hours.
The dishwasher finishes at midnight, the dryer chimes at one, the microwave remembers at three, and the smoke detector holds the descant with its low battery. The appliancechoir rehearses constantly and never on purpose. Muting one member teaches the others.
Etym. — appliance + choir — polyphony without a conductor.
Rel. — nagpliance
