Our kitchen sink is stainless steel (as most are, those days), and we got one of those plates with holes that you can purchase and place over the drain hole to prevent any large items of bits of food being washed out (and causing drain blockages).

I noticed that for certain positions of the tap and certain levels of water flow, this plate could be set to vibrate producing quite a unique sound.
This is me playing with tap position and water flow to try and get the plate to vibrate. This worked best at very low water flow levels, just when the stream coming from the tap is about to break up into a stream of drops instead of a continuous body of flowing water.

Recorded with a Zoom H1. Mono instead of stereo, since one of the channels on my recorder has stopped working.

I can dissect this many ways. Nice work.
