Do you remember a well pump?
It reminds me of the sound.
When I heard it creaking, I could always find my mother at well.
That was usually when she was doing laundry.
Then I gave her a hand. Bit surprised, because it was heavier than I had expected.
Valves become lighter as they get old.
It reduces pump displacement.
The number of pump well drastically decreased.

My family used Tsurube to draw water from well.
Tsurube is a bamboo pole equipped with wooden pails on both ends.
It soon becomes useless when the bottom falls out.

I used to expect to have answering echo from well.
It was a good memory in my childhood.

My hands remember that well water was relatively warm, even if it was cold outside.
Right. Well keeps water at constant temperature both in summer and winter.
