What sounds to you enjoy or look forward to hearing? Everyone must have a favorite and a few others that they simply smile or get excited to hear. Sounds that trigger emotion, so what’s yours?

  • A baby’s giggle
  • Indy 500 “start your engines”
  • Birds in the early morning with the sunrise
  • The sound of cool air blowing when the A/C comes on
  • Simply the sound of silent while sitting alone at times
  • The sound of puppies playing together
  • The sounds of a train whistle of in the distance
  • The sound of popcorn popping
  • The sound of coffee being made
  • The sound of “you got mail” when opening you pc

  • Crickets in the evening
  • The slap of stick on puck
  • Kids and teenagers saying "please," "thank you," and--this one especially--"you're welcome" (not "no problem!")
  • My accountant saying "your refund will be..."
  • Ocean waves
  • A faraway friend's voice on the phone
  • Joyful airport squeals of people who haven't seen each other in a long time
  • A lover's voice saying my name

Sounds I miss from the US are cicadas and hearing a train whistle in the distance.

Frying bacon
The sounds from the midway at the county fair..
Geese in flight over head...
Cafes blatting for mother......
The strike of a fish as it leaves the water surface..
Pigs an pigs and pigs eating...
The sound of pop corn cooking....
The sea shore as the waves break.
The fog horn in a harbour on a misty night....
Turkey hunting and the scrapping of the stone hand held turkey call
The rustle of the leafs in the fall during a walk..
Sitting in the woods listening too nature
The babel of the brook and the crash of the water falls..
Rain on a tin roof..
The crunch of snow after a cold winter night..
Steam whistle on a train as it echos in the glen...
Old percolator coffee maker...
The sound of love from a kitten....
The doctor saying you have a brand new baby boy /girl...
Nails on a black board..
Halloween...... trick or treat from a small child.

I like the predawn sound of birds waking up when the sun has not even come up yet. I still sit outside for that event if I wake up.

The sound of wind blowing through the trees.

And the pine trees are especially good for that sound.

I like hearing my dog yipping inside making a fuss when I get home from a stress filled day at work.

I like hearing the sound of Felix talking in his sleep. It means everything is alright.

Our canary singing while I type this is the sound of home.

I like cooking sounds.

The sound of hundreds of frogs at night.

The train is a good one. I love that sound. We are not too close, and not too far from the train tracks, so it is nice.
