What is your favorite sound? - Page 3

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.

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.

Trilby · 10-10-2011, 03:14 PM

I'm sorry about ur nipple

LMFAO!

BigV · 10-10-2011, 05:15 PM

Big Sarge · 10-10-2011, 11:07 PM

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

chrisinhouston · 10-19-2011, 09:42 PM

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...

Pete Zicato · 10-19-2011, 10:50 PM

Babbling brook.

Gravdigr · 11-02-2011, 12:33 PM

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

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.
