Techmoan 

The term refers to the noise patterns produced by electronic equipment resulted from it's operation or function. Techmoan is a blend of "technology" and "moan" (to emit a moan-like sound) and is used to describe the acoustic aspects of modern electronic devices. Techmoans can vary widely in intensity, frequency, and character, depending on the specific technology in use. These sounds often stem from various components within the device, such as fans, hard drives, motors, or electrical circuits.
"The vintage arcade machine emitted nostalgic techmoans as it brought classic games to life, the sound a reminder of the gaming past."

"In the data center, the relentless techmoan of servers filled the room, with each server's hard drive contributing its own distinct rhythm."

"The techmoan of a 3D printer crafting the new design added an artistic touch to the otherwise silent workshop."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
