1. Same

Sadly, I live in the middle of this country. The beach is my happy place, but I don’t get to be there often enough.

4. Rain hitting roofs

My favorite is the sound when a summer deluge hits a metal roof like the one on my parents' deck.
Add in the chorus of rain hitting the bayou the deck overhangs, and it's veritable symphony.
Simultaneously soothing and invigorating

6. A train whistle in the distance at night. I also love the sound of the ocean.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much, Walleye, for sharing.with us. I like the train whistle in the winter against the silence of the

snow. and especially the sounds of the ocean.

22. I like train sounds too, EXCEPT...

... for these freight train sounds -- tornados!

I think the tornados sound more like a giant blowing into an empty jug.

29. Thank you very much Buckeye_Democrat. I know what you mean. In my 70 years of living in SW PA. and heard the train sound

7. Ocean waves are wonderful. In the wintertime, that ABSOLUTE silence of still snow falling-- sans any wind or traffic.

That is wonderful walking time (pre-dawn or post-dusk) and weather. Peaceful doesn't begin to describe...

[debm55]

20. Love your post hithe2b. The beautiful silence of a snow fall.Rich is from Boston. When we to Cape Cod for the first time

at Christmas. I was stunned by the absolute beauty of the sounds of the beach while it snowed.

[Raven123]

11. Cicadas. Transports me to late summer

evenings, the golden hour, tearing around the neighborhood on my bike.

[Ziggysmom]

12. The Violin. It can stir all my emotions, even all at once!

13. So much.. living in the forest has lots of sounds! ☺️

The first that comes to mind is the wind through the pine trees. You can actually hear it almost like waves coming over the other ridges of the mountains as it builds towards you and then goes past you and goes through the trees it's a really amazing sound.

Second on the list would be thunderstorm and rain in the mountains that building sound as it comes towards you. And the rain is just glorious especially in july!

Last but not least is a sound that is not a sound. Falling snow. That beautiful hush that comes with a winter snowstorm..

[womanofthehills]

15. I live out in the country - so rain hitting my metal roof is one

But the best is - train whistles in the night - 4 miles away - I have no car traffic so that and coyotes are my main night sounds.

Some nights I just hear whistle after whistle as there are 3 roads the trains have to blow their whistles at. I sleep with my deck doors open (screens ) - no air conditioning so I can hear the night really well. Also, if my rooster hears a noise in the night, he will crow and then his crowing makes my distant neighbors roosters crow.

My dogs like to sleep on upstairs deck outside my bedroom. When the coyotes come, my dogs and the coyotes try to out howl each other. It gets really loud but I love it.

Lightning is also really exciting when you live at high altitudes.

So rain, train whistles, lightning, Roos crowing and coyotes howling- these are a few of my favorite things plus my super affectionate dogs and my long time boyfriend who occasionally visits.

[surrealAmerican]

21. I like that moment on summer evenings ...

... when the sound of cicadas turns into the sound of crickets.

[Niagara]

23. I'm going to insert my crazy list right before my bedtime

The crackling of a campfire
A deck of cards being shuffled
When a hockey puck connects with a hockey stick or vice versa
The sound of coffee brewing
The sound of coffee being poured
When my neck, back and all sorts of bodily joints produce cavitations (cracking)

[Grim Chieftain]

24. The laughter of an elderly person

It gives me joy - and hope.

[Dorothy V]

25. The voice of a loved one or a friend. Among many other favorite sounds.

[JoseBalow]

26. I love the sound of my dog snoring

Her sleep sounds are so cute and comforting to me.

[debm55]

27. Thank you so much JoseBalow, it is a very sweet post.

[DeeDeeNY]

28. A baby laughing

[Diamond_Dog]

34. You beat me to it DeeDeeNY

[Pinback]

30. The sound of a cat purring,

preferably on my lap!

[PikaBlue]

33. Thunderstorms

Water sounds (ocean waves, streams, and rain) activate mg bladder.

[madamesilverspurs]

35. A breeze ruffling the aspens,

a burbling mountain stream, raindrops falling on the tent; also, the sound of waves lapping on the boat's hull as they gently rock me to sleep.

Above all, the laughter of children, the sweetest hymn the universe will ever know.

36. Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony.

Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony, 80 minutes of heavenly bliss to me.
