i get a big kick when i get a replay or special or match on any of my pins. i just love to hear the crack of the knocker. my wife always says they're set to free play what does it matter. well i still get a charge out of it. anyone else out there feel this way?

I love hearing the knocker!
 
my 6 year old likes getting a match almost as much as he likes playing the pin. lol.



fwiw, i like to hear the knocker too.
 
i like some of the machines that have a loud fast CRACK sound when the knocker hits.....it might just be certain manufacturers. i know my sega twiser does it like this.

our pet cat is used to the normal pinball sounds but it sure jumps everytime the knocker hits. i lose track of the ball because i look over to see the reaction of the cat
 
Loud Knockers are Mandatory on Pins. Big Knockers on Women are Beautiful !!!!!
There are certain em pins that actually Pop "10" games when 2 players get a double match.
Talk about Cool Noise...That would rattle your cat !
 
MY NIB Spiderman was my first pin. It has an electronic chirp as a knocker. I thought the game was broken. I disabled it as soon as I found out it was put in the game on purpose. Sorry to be the fuddyduddy. I think its kind of neat on my older games.
 
I hate those new Stern 'knockers'. They sound more like the screeching of someone aggressively shoving a machine across concrete.

But I do enjoy the knock of a free game. Better yet, I just set my new Xenon to knock 3 times for highest-score-to-date. Knock-knock-knock!

theres a pitch and bat game by williams called batting champ that has a normal home run area and a small small hole called a "super home run" (i think its called super) but if you hit the ball in that hole you get 10 free games.......it will knock 5 times in a row, twice

i think it depends a lot on where the knocker is....the ones under the playfield are cool and all, but the ones in the backbox will wake up the neighbors. lol.
 
Freaking HATE Sterns supposed knocker sound. Also hate seeing guests freaking jump or stop playing after awhile because of the Williams knockers scare them. All my games knockers are disconnected/disabled. On location like'em because there's enough noise to help off set the noise but in the home environment .... nah.
 
I like when I hit the 100000 on Old Chicago and the buzzer goes off and I run around with my hands in the air yelling hey what that noise, oh yeah its me winning!!!!
 
I get a kick out of it, sometimes I nearly crap my pants because if I've had 2 crappy first balls, I'm too busy paying attention on the 3rd that I don't even notice I'm close to getting one and it scares me.

I was downstairs cursing at a pin today, cause I set the high score on it the day after I brought it home and I STILL can't crack my own score from that day...
