I love the sound you hear driving on top of a bridge, think it's just driving over concrete. The odd thing, I really can't think of many sounds.
In the winter after a big snow everything goes silent. Not completely, but enough that in a way you can hear it.
I love that "un-sound". Almost makes up for all the snow you have to deal with.
I love the sound of the crowd working itself into a frenzy. Be it 60,000 at Yankee Stadium or 500 in a local club.
Think I know what you mean. I equate a different kind of silence with mourning. Your kind of silence I like. Funny with silence at night, I like the sound of the highway you can't hear at daytime. I hear the semis that can't wait to get home.Quote: HullabalooThe sound of silence.

When I return home, my dog greeting me with a bark.
As a storm approaches, the sound of the wind.
Distant train whistle. Or a train going across tracks as long as I don't live near them.
The sound of a machine gun mowing down guys with leaf blowers on a Saturday morning when I'm trying to sleep in. Never actually heard that one.
The large "big ben" type wind chimes, gentle, not clanging in a high wind.
Church bells. Good one, Max.
Water lapping at the side of the pool.
Waves hitting the rocks in Hawaii and spuming up.
Soft guitar music, I like my 12 string for that.
The radio chatter when I'm in Yeagermode, aka The Zone, and they're all lined up like pearls on a string.
My lover's heartbeat slowing down after good sex.
Ice clinking in a heavy rocks glass.
My dad's very bass voice, dum-de-dumding under music. Been a lot of years since I heard it. Still makes me tear up, remembering.
Nice for sleeping.
Aww! Isn't that sweet. It must bring back all your fond memories of being diddled by the priests.Quote: MaxPenChurch bells
I like the sound of rain and stormy weather any time day or night. I love the sound and rumble of trains any time and I wish I lived near to some train tracks. I like the sound on an airplane and I love the turbulence, taking off and landing as well.Quote: rxwineRain late at night.

Quote: PuckerbuttThe sound of a child's laughter
Just going for brownie points
None earned here, unless it's one kid giggling. For about 5 really long years, I had home schooled next-door neighbors running a daycare out of our (essentially shared) backyard, while I worked nights and overnights 3 and 4 shifts a week.
Which translated to shrieking little kids, 6-14 of them every morning starting before 8am, just under my bedroom window/porch. Mixture of wailing from falling down or hitting each other and screaming laughter playing tag or whatever. It would startle me awake constantly and/or get into my dreams in a bad way.
It finally ended when they packed up and started a religious cult commune in Michigan, of all places. Seemed they didn't like the complaints when their all-day cult services in their house brought people parking all over our lawns. Or being called out for running an unlicensed daycare from a residence. God knows where the heck they are now, but they ruined kid-noises for me for life.
Peepers, or the wump of a big bullfrog.
The filthy lope of an unrestricted 604 crate.
The schhhk... schhhk... of having the ice all to yourself.
The utter silence of good powder at night.
The tink-tink of a loose main sail tapping the mast.
"You have (zero) new messages"
In ice hockey, the "ping" of the puck when a slap shot hits the post.
These are couple of my fav sounds, my fav sounds.
Closest I have ever heard to the Jesus tone

I'm glad I was taught what a loon sounds like. If I wasn't I'd think it was big foot.
What is a good powder?
Quote: EvenBobPurring cats and this:
Hadn't thought of motors.
The Harley idle is flawed because it comes from a Harley. It just makes me think of man boys who have to rev their engines so that everyone for 3 blocks knows they are poorly endowed.
However, the sound of an idling boat... very, nice. Especially mixed with water sounds. And the smell of gas.

Powder =snow, I think. Its a skiing term.

I can see tracks from my porch, not sure you want to be that close especially at 3am. (or whatever the equivalent sleeping time for you is)
This thread is too positive, we need one for sounds that make you want to kill someone. Like slurping their damn cereal.
Quote: GWAEI have to agree with the sound of the ocean at 6am. .
I agree, the sound of small waves breaking is something I can listen to for hours.

Spoken like a true bystander non rider.
We have a name for guys like you but
I'm tired of getting suspended.

Any sound a computer makes to
alert me. I always have the sound
muted for this reason.

I shake my head and laugh at anyone that has a loud motorcycle or car. It would be so much cooler to have a completely silent one.
Although I don't ride anymore, I have had four motorcycles.
Quote: DRichI shake my head and laugh at anyone that has a loud motorcycle
Uh huh. Besides sounding cool as
hell, loud pipes can save your
life. Can't count the times some
jerk was at a stop sign and heard
me before he saw me. Ask any
Harley driver with loud pipes,
they all have stories. And they
also give you about 10% more power,
nothing wrong with that.
"I have had four motorcycles."
Did you ever get them converted over
to running gas instead of rice? lol
Also, a purring cat, David Attenborough or Derek Jacobi narrating or reading. Alain Delon speaking in french, his voice both calms me down and energizes me somehow in the same time.
The sounds of a forest in the Autumn.
A gentle female voice semi whispering in my ear.

I'm guessing it is not "people who don't want the intrusion of random man boys loudly proclaiming their inadequacy," but that's what we are.
One of the better South Park eps. It would be awesome if that had caught on.

No, I always wanted them reliable. A motorcycle made out of washing machine parts isn't my style.
Quote: DRichI think one of the greatest sounds is that of your partner having an orgasm.
If you like the person. If you don't, it's
one of the most irritating.

Yeah, not too smart to let yourself go as low as to engage in intimacy with someone you don't like, no matter the circumstances.
Quote: rawtuffYeah, not too smart to let yourself go as low as to engage in intimacy with someone you don't like, no matter the circumstances.
Sometimes it's unavoidable. You used
to like the person and now you don't.
Lots and lots of marriages like that.
Certainly all the ones I know, they
can barely stand each other. But I'm
older, I'm not 30 anymore where all
your married friends at least pretend
the still like each other.
Quote: DRichI think one of the greatest sounds is that of your partner having an orgasm.
Since you know that sound, it's obvious you don't ride a Harley.
