the ripe water melon give deeper sound when you knock on it than the unripe one because the ripe one contain more watery cells

Lol I am Iranian and this is so true. XD Basically my entire family does this, yet I have not acquired this skill.

I love that everyone is bowing down to his perfect watermelon choice

Also I read that when you tap the end of the watermelon (either the end where the vine previously was, or the opposite end) it makes a certain noise like "think"

so "think" watermelons aren't ripe yet, "thank" watermelons are getting there, and "thunk" sounding watermelons are good and ripe. (This maybe be a method to use when the watermelon is still on the vine, though.
