music (?)

one fine day in the office, i was playing benny benasi's 'satisfaction' rather loudly on my laptop. one of our drivers comes into the office, hears the music, and starts looking around for the source of the 'noise'. he comes near my desk, but is looking up at the fan (which my desk happened to be very nearly under) with a frown on his face and asks me, 'why is the fan making such a funny noise??' (although it was in broken arabic (for my benefit) so a direct translation would be have been more like, 'what's that?' with wild gestures at the fan.) he was turning to call the acting compound manager to figure out together what to do about the misbehaving fan when he looked down at me and realised the 'noise' was coming from my laptop. he starts laughing and says, 'is that really music?', and strolls out the door still laughing.
