I am considering replacing my stove top tea kettle
with an electric to save energy. However I have
some high frequency hearing loss and can't hear
the average whistling tea kettle. Can any one
recommend an electric that makes a loud enough
sound so I can hear it when it boils?

My current stove top kettle has a harmonica type
reed in the spout. I can hear that quite plainly
even if I happen to leave the room just before
it boils.

Some people put marbles in the kettle. Could you hear them rattling around?

I kind of doubt it. I suppose I could try it with my
current kettle and see what happened.

Thanks, for the suggestion.

But then don't you risk losing your marbles?
