I was at the market the other day and I picked out a watermelon that looked good. Just before I was about to put it in my cart, I noticed the guy next to me thumping his watermelon. So I thumped mine. I really didn't know what I was listening for, but the watermelon was good nonetheless.
Supposedly if they sound hallow they're ripe. Also you can look for rough textured pale brown spots, those are bee stings that are a good indication that it's a sweet one and ready to eat.
