I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter

I got a call this morning from one of my clients saying "One of our servers is dying"
Being the master detective that I am, I had to ask "How do you know?"

The response given was not one that I would normally hear, but I am used to strange things like this...

"Well...it sounds like a submarine diving under the ocean"
She then preceded to hold the phone next to the server in question so that I could hear these submarine diving noises.

Funny thing is, it sounded just like you are currently thinking, the sort of slow "bwoop, bwoop" generic noise used on TV shows.

I did manage to work my magic and retrieve all of their data before it submerged, but I am pretty sure it is just a fan going south (bearing problem or some such nonsense). Either way I will have to head out there this afternoon and figure it out.
