Maybe it is related to the game battleship, It think the battleship takes 5 hits, you would hear the 5th because someone would yell out YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP.

You know, I was joking with iamtheaznman right after the puzzle came up that the answer was 'babies'. It might be worth it just to pop a guess for it.

Rawr riddles make brain hurt.
Just on general strategy anybody who is around near the riddle posting time and can come up with something that is even close to right should submit it. With time being the deciding factors in ties this is essential. I'd suggest we freely submit anything close until we get to half our number having used their guess. After that we can take our time and make sure the remaining guesses are solid and have a greater chance of succeeding.
We should have a "Submitted Guesses" thread here so we know where we are on numbers of guesses submitted obviously.

Eh, I guess I'll send in the "babies" answer. I doubt that's it, because that could apply to just about any 5 things that are supposed to be making noise but aren't.

We each to submit an answer, so submit your own bloody answer!
I've submitted the below. It doesn't feel quite right but it's the closest I've got:
Guess:
Queue
Logic:
Five letters in a row (calling to a line which a queue is), four of them (ueue) are just noise on their own. The one that does not is Q which is very much what the word is pronounced as.

That sounds pretty good, actually. Better than our other guesses at least? And if the other team doesn't have the right answer, then we can still win on closeness, yes?

Well I think it's right or completely, utterly off base. I guess we'll see.
Remember everybody should guess, regardless of how bad it is.

Everyone should definitely submit an answer. I dunno if the answers are going to be revealed at the end, so the worst that can happen is you look a little silly... I guarantee that you won't be alone looking silly, though

Well, since DA said we should send our own answers in, I went with the five senses thing. Better then Battleship at least.

If I can't get my brains in gear by the deadline, I'm going to send in "some sort of musical instrument". Because damned if I can think of one that fits, but if there is, that would be awesome.

Fembot- looks like the battleship answer is available. Might be better than a random unsupported guess.

Alright, if PK isn't sending that one in.
