A Distinct Sound

This morning while chatting w/a friend she said that over the wknd she had gone Skeet shooting w/her son; and that she used a shotgun. And as she told me I could "hear" the sound of loading the shotgun. Chink-Chink; a sound that should put the fear in the hearts of anything on the other end of barrel!
It got me thinking of other sounds that can only be.....a.....? (what?)

When hearing emergency sirens I get goosebumps..always worry that it's family on the road that need the service...then I start my calls!

How about the phone a 3am? That always sends a chill!!!

and then if a wrong number....makes me want to make Sound number one...sorry if cranky, arm in cast.
heard my white throated sparrow back for winter, fun to know a few bird calls.

The sound of walking on fresh snow, rain on the roof, the wind through the eaves...mmm.

How about the sound of one of your kids falling down in another room? That'll send you running!

the -lack of- sound during falling snow

I can always tell if it's snowing when I wake up because of that lack of sound. VERY distinct.

The sound of a loved-ones car coming down the street during a blizzard? Relief!!!

Hearing growling coming from behind you. That scares me to death.

Now I'm creeped out! Brrr.... ;-)

Ok, this might sound stupid, but........have you ever talked to someone on the phone and you could tell they were smoking a cigarette? I am a smoker, but "that sound" drives me crazy! I know, I'm just crazy, period.

Growling coming behind you and when you turn around you don't see anything but great big eyes.

I hate that also. I hate cigs. period.

swimming in the ocean, remembering the theme song of "JAWS" ..... now I'm getting a little beside myself.. but have thought it just seconds before I decided that I've had enough swimming!!! lol

That one is awful also. Gives me the shivers.

Oh my gosh, "Jaws" I seen a a shark swim up to shore while my kids were playing...the very sound my shrieking get out of the water...still sends shivers.

That Jaws theme and the "notes" of Pysco; anytime you hear them ya know the movie...and the fear. Pysco..that certainly isn't spelled right, but can't come up w/anything that seems right///the movie w Norman Bates..

How about the sound of a rattlesnake...

Psycho- but I read your Pysco as Psycho until I went and re read three times!!

The sound of feet behind you. That psycho music does creep you out. That music they play in Jason movies.

Sally... arm in a cast?? Oh, no! *HUGS*

Hmm, distinctive sounds... cat coughing up a hairball... that's one that just can't be anything else, and it'll wake us in the middle of the night, scrambling to put a piece of newspaper in front of the kitty so it's easier to clean up!

How about something nicer... The unmistakable sound of... bacon sizzling in the pan!

The smell of the coffee in the morning.

or that sputtery hissss the coffee maker makes as the coffee finishes brewing! unmistakable!

The smell of puppy breath

sounds, makshi, sounds LOL! although puppy breath is certainly distinctive... especially when they've gotten into the fishy garbage!

New puppy breath is sweet. Sounds I know. I smell better than I hear. :)

Can I play?

How bout the unmistakable sound of squealing tires...I always cringe...waiting for the unmistakable "thud"

That thud...heard it just a few days back when a silly driver thought he'd make the turn but nope; hit the barrier; Thud!..backed up and sped away. Wish I would have heard sirens!
Rain on a tin roof. It seems like a comforting sound until it gets Too loud, then it changes into a ominous threat.

hairball hack!! talk about roflmbo the hairball scene in Shrek

oooh ! dentist drill

To this day the theme song from Jaws makes me pull my feet up. A very distinctive sound I love to hear is the call of a Meadowlark. When we lived in Tomales Bay CA, the sound of the fog horns in the heavy fog 'cause they are just so muted but comforting and of course, the buoy bells....Deb

whipped cream from a pressurized can, yummmy
(critter- i tripped and fell, cracked a bone, simple but inconvenient. take calcium, all)

Ohh the fog horn; a very lonely sound.
I'm not even going to talk about hairball hack..gross out!

My favorite lovely, lonely, unmistakable sound... the call of a loon, drifting over the lake.

Oooooh!!! I love Loons!

a baby's laughter...so contagious!

a crackling fire...cozy and so many memories

a kitten purring

Critter...my girlfriend has a true belief that when the loons cry they mourn the imminent death of someone...how very sad if true...so yes, it does give me the hebee jeebe's

Heathrjoy...those are indeed soothing sounds...

Soothing sound is the soft breathing of someone you love sleeping.

DH's snoring rattles the windows when he's sleeping, but for some reason I still find it comforting

My Dad use to snore like that. I always felt protected when I heard it. It was enough to scare the pants off of someone. :)

Betty, the loons called so often around the lake where we went fishing in Ontario that the area would've been depopulated of humans in short order if that were true... it's an eerie sound though!

Eliot kitten's purr is unabashed.. like rocks in a pepper grinder. :-)
