Question Of The Day, Saturday 5th Of October.

[Norachan]

Good morning.

What are some sounds you really like to hear?

I really like the sound of crickets chirping, frogs croaking and the sound of rain. Some other satisfying sounds are leaves crunching underfoot and the sound you get when you step on a frozen puddle and the ice cracks. Oh, and the sound of an espresso maker, just as the coffee is done. Sounds great and smells great too.

 

[Katie M]

Rain, thunder, a creek or stream, crackling fire . . . and the purr of a kitty

 

[EmersonandEvie]

This is very Thoreau, I can get lost in the woods listening to the rush of a stream, or the babble of a creek, the wind through the trees, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the chirping of birds. Just standing still a few miles into a hike and taking in the silence before hearing the ecosystem slowly return to life as you wait. Nature's symphony is the most beautiful thing that humankind can never come close to recreating.

 

[Jem]

Camp fires, thunder storms, bubble wrap, crunching leaves. And the squeak when you chew into a fresh chunk of a cheese curd. You know you are eating a good piece of cheese when it squeaks! YUM!
And Norachan , totally agree with cracking ice sounds, I never would have thought of that, but it is a cool sound!

 

[neely]

Oh, and the sound of an espresso maker, just as the coffee is done. Sounds great and smells great too.

Can't think of a better sound than that, like music to my ears.

 

[Lari]

Kitty purring, obviously!

 

[cassiopea]

Thunderstorms, gentle rain, kitties, loons

 

[betsygee]

Waves crashing on the shore.

 

[jcat]

I love the sound of leaves rustling in the wind and of mourning doves cooing.

 

[verna davies]

Birds and the different noises they make, crackling fire, cats purring and waves crashing on the beach.

 

[susanm9006]

When it gets so cold that ice on the roof cracks and practically shakes the house with its noise. Of course I love to hear the birds but especially the cardinals. And the sound of firewood spitting in the fireplace.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

I love the crunch when you walk on fresh snow. And cat's purring.

 

[tarasgirl06]

*Almost all of the above, especially PURRING* as well as birdsong, leaves rustling, rain falling on the roof, and all of the music I love so much.

 

[muffy]

Cats purring, rain, ocean, stream or a creek and frogs.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Purring, a fire cracking, baby giggles, rain, birds chirping (but not till a decent hour!), ice cracking, leaves crunching, waves on the beach.

 

[aliceneko]

Cats purring, rain drumming on the windows, birdsong, waves on the beach, streams/brooks babbling and the whistle of a classic old fashioned kettle.

 

[rgwanner]

Cats purring of course. rain on the roof, birds in the morning. a weeks old kitten meowing. the fountain on my porch, leaves crunching when I walk, a waterfall.

 

[Kat0121]

Cats purring
Lily when she "talks" to me
Owls
Frogs after a rainstorm
Crickets
Ocean waves, especially at night
A rainstorm (when I'm NOT driving in it)
Sophie's soft snoring when she's snuggled up against me
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (best album of all time)

 

[mani]

For 'joyous sounds: The rosellas having a party while they use the bird-baths.. they're a riot
For peace, almost silence. I remember living in a huge city and not getting away for ages. When I returned to my home state I went way out to a place where there was a lake and simply sat listening to the water lapping at the edges. It was heaven.

 

[LTS3]

Silence. The world is way too noisy
