A Distinct Sound

This is a combination of sounds, but I love when an orchestra is tuning up, such a racket!

cathy4, a racket that some how comes together to make magic. And speaking about smoke alarm cooking; once one of the boys came in and asked "is dinner ready" the other boy responded "no, the smoke alarm hasn't gone off yet".
The sound in the car late at night, drolls you to sleep.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH..a distinct sound is the Soprano's theme..........Law & Order, etc.......

popcorn

poppin' open a beer....

A puppy yelp...
usually cause she's pushed the cats a bit too far.....

shufflng a deck of cards. sounds like we have a party started here.

The sound of a rattlesnake, especially when I can't see where it is.

I've heard mountain lions (cougars), and they sound to me like a woman screaming. *Shudder*

The rainbird sprinklers

Are those the ones that go spit spit spit spit spit spit chicka chicka chicka chicka spit...?

Very good Cathy! Exactly Right! Mine are going right now.

Mourning doves, sea lions, the eliptical machine downstairs, the washer and dryer, DVD slot closing, VHS tape going in and coming out, carolers at Xmas, (Do they still do that?) sleight bells, (I know they still do that) Logs popping in the fireplace...DH
saying "Goodnight, I love you."

The sound of my DS telling me he loves me.

makshi, OOOh soo sweet.

Thank you.

Didn't go back to check all the postings..am sure this one has been added...

listening to light rain hit the metal roof of the house...

Wonderful, relaxing sound, that. Cats pawing the outside of the bathroom door.

The chorus of crickets on a starry night as the background music to the baritone call of a bullfrog.

The subtle clicking whir of a hummingbird as it dives down at my head to warn me away fron his flowers.

The rustle of a candy wrapper during a movies quiet love scene.

The clickitty clack of the keyboard as I type in a quiet room.

The crunch of metal in a fender bender, the sad howl of an amblance

High heel shoes on a sidewalk

giggles of delight and the snorting laughter

nice assortment.
I love nature sounds in general- don't like having to shut them out in cold weather.

Squeaky stairs, clasp on a pocketbook closing, dropped coins, whipcracks, rollercoaster.

Stand outside on a busy street corner and close your eyes. What do you hear?

Stand in an "empty" field. What do you hear?

how about stand on the deck on deep cold clear night and "listen" for the northern lights. ( I've never heard them, but rumors persist)..

Sounds remembered from grammar school... long, long, long ago..
The sound of book pages turning,
The soft whoosh of an eraser on a chalkboard,
the sighing sound of relief at the end of a test,
The startled gulping of air as the teacher suddenly touches the shoulder of a nodding student,
a ball bouncing in the play yard,
the bell ringing recess time,
The cacophony of "Music" from the kindergarten "band"
The two short beeps of the school bus announcing it's arrival in front of the house.
The sobbing of a child after that first fall from a bicycle and the victorious Wheeeee when the rider finally manages to stay balanced and speed down the lane.
The hum of the car engine as I drift off to sleep asking one last time...are we there yet?

The sound a client chewing gum.... oh please!!

The gentle murmuring of a horse when they are happy to see me.

The breathing of the cat while she stares at me and waits for me to wake up.

I find slurping on a soda madening on the phone.

I find slurping a soda (or coffee or water) ANYTIME OR ANYWHERE maddening! LOL

Kitties' mylar ball, hail, seagulls, (Did I do the tornado one? I've been in one so I know what they sound like.) wrapper on the popsicles, cookie jar lid being (quietly) removed...

nails on a chalkboard....

Squeaking the air out of a balloon, somebodies voice when they've inhaled helium.

my dog who sleeps in the house when hubby is gone on road and at three am startles you out a sound sleep by barking at something out side. makes my tummy sick.

i love the sound of a cat curled up with you purring. newborn kittens mewling so sweet.

Shhh...

SacValley - yeah, the fog horn sound... I find it extremely comforting. Remembering my Peninsula life of 40 years, windows open, dark, fog and that sound ... love it.

I also find the sound of my ice skate blade gliding across clean ice extremely comforting.

I miss that one too. All the sounds of the ocean.
