Sink or sink means the fixture with a drain, set under the running water or faucet in a kitchen or bathroom--
The kitchen sink is full of water.
Don't let the children play in the sink.
Sink also means to go underwater, as a ship with a hole in it, or a stone thrown into a stream--
The ship may sink if we take on any more water.
If you throw that in the pond, it will sink, not float.
Sync or sync ( rhymes with sink ) is a short form of "synchronization", meaning an arrangement or a plan in which two or more people or things work or move together, literally or figuratively--
The traffic lights are in sync with the train, so we won't have to stop.
We need to be in sync on this, so there won't be any more arguments.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"The noise the sink was making seemed to be in sync with the sound of the refrigerator, so we didn't notice it."
