What is your favorite sound?

[Sesan]

As I headed to bed last night, exhausted from another busy day, I found myself listening to the pouring rain outside for what seemed like hours. Of all mother natures wonderful sounds, none seems to capture my spirit more than rain. Billions of tiny drops of water all joining together to make a magical harmony, a healing force that I could never grow tired of. Meditation seems easier when I hear rain outside. The busy thoughts in my head seem to be absorbed and washed away (sorry for the pun). My best sleep is always during a rain storm. I wish it would rain every night!

So what is your favorite sound? There are so many to choose from, but perhaps the sound of silence is what works for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers!

Rain, thunder and a running stream, they all help me to be calm and relaxed.
Nice thread starter BTW..

Somehow I knew you would be the first to post. Gotta love intuition.

I like the sound the TARDIS makes.

On a more natural note, I like thunder and/or the soft crunch of snow underfoot when all is quiet.

I would have to say rhythmic beating vellum or old drums.
Building in speed.
And being in a forest alone, its like natures orchestra

I would have to say a nice thunderstorm, or the sound of waves. I also like waking up to birds singing outside my window

Now, why didn't I think of that???

[GaelVictor]

High keys of the piano, in a easy listening style.. that will get a smile on my face everytime.

..and the high pitched electrosounds of Acid House

[Tarka the Duck]

A blackbird's song.

I also love The Beatles 'Blackbird' - we were once strolling by Lake Como in Italy late at night...and a blackbird began to sing in a tree over our heads...'Blackbird singing in the dead of night'...spine tingling

How about this one, the sound of your alarm waking you up for work when its your day off.

V-12, 6 liter or thereabouts, ears popping, vision blurring and narrowing to a point about 1/2 a mile up the road, about 200 mph...engine screaming like an angry banshee being torn in half.....

on the other end of the scale...

some nice ambient music...

I HAVE combined the two.

That song.... at over 160 mph. (well. I HAD to do it, at least once....)


Then..there is this. A guy who owned the biggest record store in town. he had about 20k albums at home, at the time. We actually got into a scuffle in his store..over the last LP copy of this. If you've never heard this before..you are in for a real treat.:

Being I've only ever heard this sound twice in my life, the sound of my new born little girls entering this world for the first time was amazing! After a few long nights listening to the crying, well let's just say I'd prefer the rain.
Lol

[TelosianEmbrace]

Young women laughing unaffectedly together. The sound has a tone, a pitch, a resonance that would wash away the ills of the world.

Burning Spearwith a cold beer under a reed roof during the monsoon at night, torchlight knawing on a few chicken legs, in Unawatuna,Sri Lanka, very nice sound.

ENJOY just for your amusement.

[NeverMind]

My mother's voice and laughter.

I also love most natural sounds, especially the sound of wind, of thunder, of sea waves, of snow falling upon snow.
(I do like the sound of rain myself, but I actually prefer to feel it on my skin.)
And church bells in the distance, when a lovely day out is ending.

And being in a forest alone, its like natures orchestra

Absolutely! :)

And music, of course, but that's a whole different realm.

But without my mother's voice all the voices of nature, and even music, would bespeak nothing but absence.

[Little Ishta]

I love the sound of the wind, the waves, waterfalls and children laughing.

That would have been a nightingale.
And yes, it is lovely. :)



P.S. You would probably appreciate the description of Gustav Mahler's funeral.
(It's not morbid. Not at all. :)
