sounding the alarm

In business, the pre-curser to "blowing the whistle" or "whistle blowing". Typically, it is the act of generating awareness to upper management of illegal or unethical activities being committed by senior leadership in a firm or corporation, without disclosure to the media.

Ex. "It was Doug's choice in sounding the alarm to the Board of Directors regarding the financial irregularities performed by the CFO".

The sound of mucus

The wheezy, gurgling sound made by trying to, or actually coughing up nasty mucus from ones lungs.

Lyrics: The hills are alive with the sound of mucus!
