Riddle

I'm named after nothing, though I'm awfully clamorous. And when I'm not working, your house is less glamorous. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.A washing machine
B.A blender
C.An air conditioner
D.A vacuum cleaner
Hint: It's a 3-word phrase with 14 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A vacuum cleaner

Why this is the answer

A vacuum is literally named after "a vacuum" -- empty space, or nothing -- yet it's loud when running, and without it, floors and carpets quickly look dirty and unglamorous.
