Aussie shoppers who’ve heard bizarre sounds while in-store at Woolworths have finally been given an explanation – and it’s all down to their beloved roast chickens.

A rooster crowing, along with a distinct but harmless tinkling alarm sound, can regularly be heard by shoppers passing near the deli section.

Now, the supermarket giant has offered to ‘set the record straight’ by explaining the source of these mysterious noises.

‘No, that sound didn’t come from a live chicken. It came from our oven,’ a Woolworths employee said in a video.

‘Our ovens make a few noises to let the team know when to check on the chickens.’

The cock-a-doodle-doo is actually a signal that the roast chooks are cooked and ready to be bagged and sold.

‘As the timer approaches zero, it plays the sound we all know and love,’ the video voiceover explained. ‘And then it’s over to our team members to check if the chickens are ready to pop in the bag.’

‘So next time you’re in your local Woolworths and you hear the chicken sound, rest assured, there are no chickens in the back.’

The post also explained the reasoning behind the piano-keyboard-like alarm, which acts as an ‘alert’ to workers in the deli section.

‘Our chickens go in the oven for around 70 minutes, and when the timer is nearly up, it plays a warning sound to alert our staff,’ the video explained.

The video quickly prompted roast chicken fans to chime in about how ‘nice’ and ‘affordable’ the roast chickens are – and, of course, to thank Woolies for clearing up the mystery of these unusual in-store noises.

But a separate TikTokpostabout the rooster crowing noise saw both customers and employees admit that it was a major source of confusion.

‘I thought I was having a psychotic break as they just renovated the store when I started hearing chickens no one else had heard,’ one person replied. ‘(People) were telling me I was crazy, ’til I worked it out.’

A store worker revealed: ‘I work in the deli and so many customers mid-service give me these HORRIFIED looks when it goes off and are like, “Do you keep actual chickens back there???” This happens daily.’

Another employee agreed: ‘It’s genuinely so funny when people get shocked and look at me and I’m like, “Yeah, you know that’s just the chickens”. What’s worse is that it the sound keeps going off if you don’t get to it soon enough.’

One person quipped: ‘Why would they make the oven sound a chicken though?? Worst choice ever.’

It’s not the first time that a confused shopper has spoken out about hearing the ‘rooster crowing’ every time they visited Woolworths.

A few years ago, Aussie mum Emma was doing her regular grocery shop when she noticed the unusual sound coming from the rotisserie oven behind the deli counter.

She only later realised the noise was notifying staff members that the freshly cooked roast chickens were ready to be bagged and displayed in the hot food cabinet.

‘Am I the only one that just realised this sound means the chickens are ready at Woolies?’ she said in herTikTok videoat the time.

A Woolworths spokesman previously confirmed to Daily Mail the rooster crowing is the sound of the alarm from the rotisserie oven that lets team members know cooking is complete.
