Just to add to Chris' answer.

We do accept 'drôles de bruits' and take a look at my answer to another student to see the explanation of this particular expression -

Drôle has a different connotation than rigolo. It's "funny" in the direction of "strange", whereas rigolo is just funny without that off-ish taste.
