What is your favorite sound?
 

Chicka dee dee dee

birdsong at morning

a distant chainsaw on a cool, post rain autumn morning.

Or a distant prop plane on a warm summer late afternoon.

auUP!

I love the sound of napalm in the morning.

A laugh I've been responsible for creating.

The squeak of a ski chairlift wheel.

Sounds like...victory.

A babbling brook...wind in trees...Baby saying my name.

Laughter

The dulcet tones of a loud FART!!!

Wind and rain. With a bonus for good thunder.

Wind blowing through the trees.

Songbirds

Lazy summer days (and nights) have a particular sound I enjoy.

Violin

Cello

Acoustic, Spanish, 12 string Guitar

Indian Drums, other drum solos done right.

Flute

Laughter of a loved one.

Slot machine wins.<- I imagine the sound would be very nice.

...rainstorm in the afternoon, while you're napping.
...cottonwood tree blowing in the breeze is pretty nice.

...turns out people really like "white noise" . . .


...ocean waves, the sound of your mother's heartbeat while you're in the womb.

a child's laughter. nectar to the ears!

not to hi-jack but i am going to miss the go kart track when i do quit. there is nothing like seeing a child enjoying themselves. laughing, feeling exhilarated from their first go kart ride...my exhilaration from teaching the ones, on their first time, wanting me to ride side saddle to make sure they know how to drive and control the cart. teaching. i love it. whether teaching someone how to ride a go kart or fly an airplane. i simply love it and will miss the track.

One of my fav sounds is a gimme.

A Fender Stratocaster through a Marshall Stack. On eleven.

Oh without doubt, rain on the roof of a caravan/camper which goes back to childhood and caravan holidays when my mum was still alive and we kids were young and happy. I think that our love of certain sounds is by association as also with scents, lilac flowers do it for me and Johnsons baby powder.

My own heart beat if there is enough silence.

Crickets.

A baby laughing

"I love you, Daddy"

The sound of my son snoring. Sounds like he is sawing logs… which is pretty funny coming from a barely 3 yr old. Still it is sweet and comforting.

i know i know. a lot of you aren't airplane nuts like me but the engine start of a turbo prop is music to my ears!

I'm with you on this. Rain on the roof - one of the best.

metal roof at that....i miss my old farm house....

In my early twenties, I bought the vinyl of Stormy Weekend - which is entirely cheesy orchestra arrangements of popular music with background sounds of rain and thunder.

I listen to recordings of birdsong, rain, thunder, rainforest sounds, surf, etc. constantly. No cheesy music though! Just natural sounds.

It's autumn and my wife, who is from Montana, said she missed the sound of bugling elk... "It's my favorite sound".

For me at autumn, it's the call of a loon at twilight...
As we were raising our three girls, we took several camping trips across Canada, and the loons were their bedtime friends.

The sound of waves crashing.

The wind blowing through the trees.

A baby's giggle.

Can't believe I missed this thread!
My List of Nice Things is very sensory. I could do this all day.

Rain on canvas

A genteel tearoom (hiss and gurgle and forks on plates and low chatter)

The racheting sound of a rollercoaster going up the first hill

A purring cat

Thunder

The wind through trees

(and no, no one favourite - many many many)

The call of a meadow lark
The call of a coyote
Various kitty sounds - especially purring
The ocean

"Here's a lot of money for you, Brianna!"
is my favorite sound.

I also like rain on cottage roofs, thunderstorms, wind in the willows, babbling brooks, and most animal noises.

Good call on the money quote!

Would you like the animal noises coming from my bedroom this morning I wonder?
The sound of me checking the time on the clock across the room.
Switching off my alarm (5 minutes to go) and the Diz cat creeping up for a snuggle.

Then a CHOMP, a wail and the scramble of the little shit making a run for it AFTER BITING MY NIPPLE!

Yes it was a cool morning.
Yes the duvet had slipped off.
And yes it might have looked tempting.
But I spooked him enough not to have a repeat performance. I HOPE.

I am not a masochist or a cat-botherer (in that sense)
And I don't appreciate anyone or anything doing that unannounced.

I'm sorry about ur nipple


but...


LMFAO!

hhahaha... so funny!

Mine is something like that. Just listening to my boys sleep a deep peaceful sleep. Aden sometimes talks, Mav snores and Max snuffles around as most small children do. It's lovely when the lights are all out and I can just go and stand by their beds (like a stalker) and listen to them.

We have virtually no sounds where we are at night. The birds don't seem to roost in town, and most of the scampering things tend to go hunting in the cane on the outskirts. There are no major roads nearby either. We hear frogs sometimes, but in general, it's dead silence here during the night.

I love it.

My fav is my youngest saying, "Big Daddy, I love you".

The sound of the dentist's drill!

Just kidding...

The voices of my younger grand children saying "I love you grandpa!" Funny but the older kids don't seem to say it anymore...:sniff:

Babbling brook.

A big ol' lumpy cammed, big block Chevrolet, through a pair of those classic, old, glass pack mufflers. Idling, on the line.

ba-la-lop-ba-la-loplop-ba-la-lop-ba-la-loplop

Sounds like the first ten seconds of this vid:

1. The sound of my dearest friend's voice, preferably when she is improvising jazz vocals or singing her own lyrics, going from mellow to rasping, from furious to caressing.

2. The sound of British English when I'm lost on a rainy day in a tourist crowd at Niagara Falls (true story)

3. A babbling brook in a winter forest to the accompaniment of a saxophonist and a percussionist: Schwarzwaldfahrt

MB giggling. He often has a bemused expression and a very silly sense of humor, but doesn't laugh out loud very much. So, it's a rare treat when he does.

A loud wet fart!

Not your own, I assume?

oooohhhhhh yeah.

A really big rumbly V-8 or even a 12, that you feel in your guts as much as hear with your ears.

I can't help that silly VROOOM grin.

Bird sounds at dawn
A babbling creek on a sunny day
A thunderstorm while I'm bundled up in my recliner or bed
My cat purring while she kneads my leg or arm
My 6yr old's belly laugh of delight
My partner practicing a riff on his guitar
Ocean waves rythmically washing ashore while I sunbathe, drifting in and out of sleep (and other beachgoers laugh and chatter in the back ground)
Rain pattering on the roof (and I don't have to go anywhere!)
Music playing while driving my corvette with the tops off
