Favorite natural sounds.

pbradley · 02.19.2009, 02:34 AM

I figure a thread like this exists somewhere but I couldn't find it. What naturally-occuring (whatever that means) sounds do you enjoy?

I really enjoy the cranking of a ratchet.

Rain!
rain
rain
rain
rain
and waterfalls
and the cracking of snow under feet
and thunders
and sea on the beach with wind

Birdsong. The sound of the dawn chorus makes waking early entirely worthwhile.

Youth_Against_Facism · 02.19.2009, 02:50 AM

Beach and rain.

Green_mind · 02.19.2009, 02:54 AM

certain birdsong can be nice, but I'm going with acoustic guitar.

I'm not sure what the species is called (if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it), but during the summer, around these parts, there seems to be some sort of insect that screeches very abrasively from the treetops. I've always been fascinated and mystified by that sound.

EDIT: I like the sound of Cicadas.

Like - The kettle boiling in the morning

Dislike - The shouting of school kids in the morning. I live in close proximity of 3 schools, so that means constant fracas at 8:00 am on the street.

Water in most forms (aquarium filters, rain, ocean, streams, whatever), airport ambience, forks clinking at restaurants, snow crunching.

And I agree with Dr. Eugene. Cicadas.

Thunder
Surf
Silence

I lived in an apartment that was something like that but it was when they left school that was the worst.

As for discomforting sounds in the morning, my bed is positioned underneath a window which is adjacent to a tree which has been home to a family of crows for as long as I can remember. First light brings its annoying caws.

Some of them make cool lines/riff.

SYRFox · 02.19.2009, 04:34 AM

rain on my window at night
street noises at 4am
random city/people noises on the evening
my steps echoing on the walls in a desert street

Beautiful Plateau · 02.19.2009, 04:57 AM

thunder and lightning

pbradley · 02.19.2009, 05:28 AM

Isn't thunder the sound of lightning?

MellySingsDoom · 02.19.2009, 05:31 AM

The sound of feet in an underpass/subway that has a lot of natural reverb.
Glacial ice cracking (have witnessed this first hand)
Howling wind.

The beach. If you are Australian living near the coast and don't say the beach then you are not true blue.

I can hear the beach in the morning and when I used to walk to school but now I take a crap bus.
