s/o Favorite Sounds

[MercyA]

What are your very most favorite sounds to hear? I'll start.

DH and DD laughing.

My canary conversing with me in her special little tweets and trills.

My dog lightly snoring.

Any animal eating crunchy food. Horses with grain, dogs with kibble, birds with seeds--I just love it. (Can't stand people eating noises, though!)

Live concert music by a favorite artist.

Thunder and rain.

Wind chimes.

The quiet little nickers my horses make when they're talking to me

The Chewbacca-like noises our goofy puppy, Ducky, makes when he's getting rowdy with the other dogs

Mourning doves cooing

Sparrows chattering cheerfully in the early morning

The funny gabbling noises and loud flapping of wings from the wild turkeys that roost in the tall trees near our barns

Dc laughing together

Dh laughing at my jokes

 Babies, any babies, laughing

Horse whinny (grew up with horses & all their sounds take me back and make me happy)

 Rain

Birds

City noise at night - I know it’s weird but we’ve been away too long and I miss it all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Junie]

Trains

Thunderstorms

[happi duck]

When geese fly over the house honking their faces off especially at nighttime

I also love when animals, especially our kitty, eat "cronchy" food 

My kids laughing and talking excitedly with each other

 

[popmom]

An obvious one... the sound of the ocean. 

the crickets and cicadas in summer.

the sound of rain. especially if there is no severe weather expected. 

I'm a "night owl", so I love to sit on our screened in porch in nice weather late at night. And we have owls. I love, love, love to hear the owls.

I love to hear my girls squealing and screaming over Mario Cart or whatever video game they are playing when they are home. 

I think my favorite sound may be the sound of my church family in corporate confession and worship through music. He (God) didn't have to do this for me. Why would God do this for me? It's all such a miracle--that the confessions and lyrics mean something to me--because I grew up in this, and it didn't have any meaning to me. But now it does. And He didn't have to do that for me.

So many of what others have said, are on my list too.

My family laughing, especially dd23 and ds27 having one of their crazy conversations (One of my favorite conversations: what if seals could climb trees)

Weather: rain, wind in trees, thunder

Sound of natural water. Streams to oceans, I love it all. Especially layers like a stream coming from a waterfall, so you can hear both at the same time.

Geese in the morning when they are migrating in flocks over my house. 

Owls, loons, doves and some song birds.

My dog eating chips.

I love all the sounds in this thread. Love hearing my cat purring as she sleeps on my chest. 
 

I especially love water sounds, and I wish I lived near a beautiful babbling brook. I have an app on my phone which has really authentic water sounds of all types, and it’s a mixer style thing where you can adjust the different sounds so you can decide if you want the waterfall to be more prominent or even vary between high-pitch rain sounds and low pitch. If I close the blinds in my bedroom on a sunny day, I can sit on my bed and read and make myself believe there is a storm raging outside.

Birds chirping

My family playing music in the house. It used to be a lot more frequent when they all had music lessons.

Laughter - especially young children and babbies (bonus enjoyment if they're my own kids)

My son whistling or humming and he doesn't even know he's doing it. 😄

Heavy rain, snow and wind outside the house. My opinion changes if I'm in a tent, though. 😉 

Ocean waves

River rushing over rocks

Live or recorded music of great artists

Wind sweeping through trees

[mmasc]

Great thread!

my children and dh laughing

my dog snoring

oceans and streams—moving water!

the woods—the rustling of the leaves when little critters are running around, the cicadas in the summer, wind through the trees, birds, etc

Thunder and rain 

newborn babies when they’re eating—those little sigh-type, teeny gulp sounds that all newborns make while eating ❤️

[math teacher]

The sound of my husband's voice

Windchimes

The ocean and other water noises, such as waterfalls and water landscaping

Thunder and lightening

Rain

A little boy in my class has the cutest laugh-I just love it

Hymns

My students playing on the playground

The controlled chatter of my classroom 

The sound the coffee maker makes as it is finishin

The wind in the trees while I am walking

Horse sounds

 

[Melissa Louise]

Magpies warbling.

The plaint of a raven.

Rain on the roof at night.

The hush just before a quarter begins to play.

K-Flay's quick inbreath before she starts to sing.

Children's choirs.

[DreamerGirl]

 My children's laughter

DH's voice

The ocean and falling rain. Two sounds I always choose on my sound machine before I sleep.

Soothing Instrumental music of different genres that is background as I go about my day

The deep chanting of various religions that is soothing to meditate to.

The tinkle an armful of thin metal bangles usually made of gold. It takes me right back to my childhood as my grandmother and mom wore them and they made the most melodious sound as they went about their day working with their hands.

The jingle of an armful of glass bangles, something I loved as a child.

The chime of anklets. A sound which again takes me right back so much so I still wear a thin ankle bracelet on one foot with a single chime that makes a subtle tinkle while I walk

Bells  

The sizzle as a ladle of batter drops on a hot pan

The thump the airplane wheels make as it lands

Lately, bird song

[Lucy the Valiant]

My teenagers sing together. ❤️ 

[Terabith]

This thread is wonderful!  Reminds me of this song.
