Favourite sound?

[Headfry]

The sound of autumn robins....
owls in the night
lapwings
frogs croaking to each other
wrens
fog horns on very big ships
oooh i can go on for ever, sorry

[Flummery]

My budgie, Primrose, swearing at me in bird language. That's probably because when we gave him his name, we thought he was a girl! He has a lovely bubbly chirp which never fails to make me smile.

[Winged one]

Sitting on the beach "down home" (where I grew up), on a foggy day, with the waves just gently washing the shore of pebbles, the foghorn blowing and hearing the occasional ship's engine as it left the harbour. Those were always times I could be guaranteed peace and quiet (with 5 siblings, that was hard to achieve).

Now, up on the lottie, hearing the scrape of the fork going into the soil, birds singing overhead and the wind through the plants.

Or a good thunderstorm with lots of wind, preferably on the shore!! (I miss living close to the proper sea - Irish sea is much calmer than the Atlantic ocean!).

The sizzle of roasting meat coming out of the oven or onions frying on the stove.

And a cork popping is always a welcome sound.

Or the crackling of a proper fire with real wood (preferably with the wind howling around outside!!).

I'm with Alice on 'the sound of silence' but I do also love the sounds of robins & blackbirds singing, the cat purring, waves lapping on a seashore (mesmerising!) & the sound of bells & rigging jostling on boats gently rocking in a harbour.

[Birdie Wife]

water over a gentle waterfall, hitting the bottom like jazz tom toms
the wind in high tree tops
a mother hen purring over her new brood
a crackling fire
black-throated divers calling to each other on the loch

ahh... quite wistful now... good thread!

[Madasafish]

I can't stand birds at night and early morning: they wake me up as I am a light sleeper.

I love icecubes cracking as they hit a pint glass of cold gin and tomic...

The sound of crickets.
Happy turkeys cheeping.

Silence.

The sound that do's it for me is the call of the Curlew in the spring first hearing means spring is on it's way .
And later on in the year the chattering of a Skylark in the feild next to the house i don't se it very often but it is so refreshing early morning .
This is a cheeky one the reader on the sports report sat or sun afternoon reading out Aston Villa 2 the Others 0 hee hee jacob

" Cup of tea????" always lightens my heart!!!

[JennieAtkinson]

Any blackbird, singing its heart out.

Had another thought after this afternoon - the sound of the grandchildren going home! Love them to bits but they do wear me out. However, when they go home with Mum & Dad they always give me a hug and a kiss and as they go up the road they shout Bye, Bye, Love you Lots, see you soon. Makes me melt.

Best sound.

Sad git i am, Ive been thinking about this at work today and I have come up with the sound of a bumble bee getting stuck in a foxglove flower, you know that loud Pi88ed off buzzing thing they do. Bee swearing.

[SMS6]

Every one hates them I know but...

... I love the sound of seagulls 'laughing'. It is such a comical noise.

[Nicos]

... I love the sound of seagulls 'laughing'. It is such a comical noise.

I thought seagulls say ..."mine..mine...mine..."

[Percy T]

the steady beathing of a sleeping baby cant resist it always makes me go to sleep tooo!!!

[scarey55]

I thought seagulls say ..."mine..mine...mine..."

Or feral pigeons who go ooh... ooh...ooh....
