I get that all the time in the car. One side benefit of having a couple of exhaust leaks that aren't easy to get to with the welder is that I can usually just let off the throttle and they stop to see what the heck is making that weird popping noise...then I nail it past them before they remember that they don't really care as long as they can run over it without slowing down.
