I was the one who said smokie sounded like a taxi meter because in a different thread someone was saying how they remember a character in the first episode saying how the monster sounded familiar. I was simply reminding them that it was Rose who says it, and it was that particular noise she is referring too. I have watched all of the seasons special features and you have Damon & Carlton sitting together talking and laughing about how Rose is from NY and how they recorded a taxi printing a receipt JUST TO GET THAT NOISE. @ilie Never said smokey was a collection of random New York noises, just that one in particular. I have to represent NY since the only character that does is Michael and he is whack. Men in Black has nothing to do with this, they just use that analogy because their are a lot of freaks in this city! myself included! jk :-) @AmILost

Somehow I associate to MIB (the movie), where it is explained that most aliens (from outer space) live in New York and work as taxi drivers. :) So Smokey is just a collection of random New York phenomena?

How ya doin? I listened to the smoke monster again last night and, yes, I agree that elements of the sound it makes - the clicking type sound - is just like what is made by a taxi cab's receipt printer. However, it's only one element, and I consider it a minor one at that, of the sound the smoke monster makes. I still stand by my initial take that the mechanical like sound is similar to what a garbage truck makes when it is going through it's cycle while the driver moves and bangs a metal dumpster against the truck from it's mechanical arms.

The smoke monster isn't constantly making that noise, it happens every, say, 5 seconds or so. Hope that helps :) I don't really know how else to describe the sound except "reciept printer-ish"....
