I miss the South Amboy Fire Dept. siren that used to sound if the snow was so bad, there was no school as a kid. I read the post about the church bells....in Seaside Heights, the church bells toll every hour starting at 8am. (not just Sundays)
I miss the transmission sounds those old classic stick-shift cars made when they sped up and changed gears. It was almost like a song. Rrrrr(clunk)rrrrrrrr(clunk)...Wheeeeeeeee!

You know, if we put all of these together, it would create a mournful elegiac poem :
The rooster crowing before daylight
A train passing in the far distance,
the lonesome call of its horn.
Gentle rains falling,
whispering of leaves,
my oldest sister's voice and
my dog Freckles & how he would talk &
my Grannie Rose singing "You Are My Sunshine" and
whistling.
No one whistles anymore.
Clicketa-clacketa -clicketa-clacketa
the sound of mowers.
Lost sounds of
long ago.

I definitely wouldn't say that I "miss" this but I recently thought of this and found someone made a youtube of it. After all these years, they still do this really eeeerie nuclear accident test siren in some parts of FLRIDA.
If you're short on time and want to hear the eerie part, skip to 1:00 in to the video.
