An ailment that she believes you suffer from frequently? At least several times a day? "whack, whack, whack" is the sound of Chili wagging her tail, if a wall happens to get to close. "The black alarm clock" sometimes can go off before 6am, if she determines that it's already time for breakfast (or exercise).
