[debm55]

5. Yes both very relaxing.

[Jilly_in_VA]

It's the sound we use for white noise at night year round, but when we were in Sanibel it was wonderful to leave the porch door open all night long.

[debm55]

6. Jilly. that sounds wounderful and so relaxing.

[Funtatlaguy]

[GP6971]

16. Ocean surf. n/t

[debm55]

17. Beautiful, relaxing sound

[lastlib]

22. Whippoorwills. And spring peepers.

Sure signs of the seasons.


(although I have to confess: once I had to throw a rock at a whippoorwill that was RIGHT outside my window, being WAY too loud, keeping me awake. I had never had one that close and that loud before!)

[debm55]

23. Haven't they left yet?

[lastlib]

25. The little frogs are gone.....

Whippers will be around for awhile longer.

[electric_blue68]

26. Little waves, light rain, little streams running over rocks...

as mentioned.
And I do love kittens/cat purring vids, too.

Big waves are amazing, and they can be relaxing. But the little waves (I call "wavelets" ) are very sweet.

Not yet mentioned - horse hooves:
their walking gait.

[debm55]

37. And the galloping hooves.

[electric_blue68]

45. I might find those more energizing than relaxing. But a great sound!

[Emile]

27. My wife saying to me, I love you!

[debm55]

36. How beautiful.

[Mad_Dem_X]

28. A child's laughter.

[debm55]

35. Totally agree.

34. I don't think we have the loons around here. But they do make a beautiful sound.

[Chakaconcarne]

48. Oh yeah, that's a good one...

[Niagara]

30. I use to be to smoothed by feline purrs.

Sadly, all of my beloved feline companions have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.



Here's the current beautiful sounds to me:


1. Music, melodies, instrument's, and singing voices.

2. The crackling of a bonfire

3. Thunderstorms

4. The coffee maker brewing coffee

5. My adult children telling me that they love their mom

6. The original engine in a Corvette. They have a distinct sound.

7. When someone hits the sweet spot.

[debm55]

32. Your last one.

[malthaussen]

31. Train approaching a crossing.

I find the horn mournful.

-- Mal

[debm55]

33. I was just going to put the train horn. Agree.

[Emile]

38. Trains off in a distance put me to sleep at night.

39. Especially in the winter time.

[ailsagirl]

40. I love rain but I also love it when my cats purr...

It's a tossup

[debm55]

41. Both are beautiful sounds.

[Mr.Bill]

42. A 12,000 horsepower engine

burning nitromethane at the dragstrip.

Or a cat purring in my lap.

[debm55]

43. I would go with the cat purring

[applegrove]

44. Hearing crickets and other animals at night at the cottage.

Or ocean waves.

[debm55]

46. We had a couple of crickets in the garage below the bedroom. It put me to sleep

[applegrove]

57. I have a noise machine that has bot crickets and ocean waves.

[Chakaconcarne]

47. 911 GT3 RS, 0-120mph

Light Rain under a forest canopy would be my second choice, followed by a rainy, blustery day on the PNW coast, wolves howling.

[debm55]

53. I like the light rain in a forest canopy. I think the wolves would scare me.

[qwlauren35]

49. Bull frogs on a summer's night.

Crazy...

I only "hear" that on weekends.

[debm55]

[justaprogressive]

52. The most beautiful sound

Is an electric guitar note thru a tube amp perched on the edge of overdrive....

[debm55]

56. We each have our own idea of beautiful sounds. I'm glad for you. Are you a musician?

Yes, 60 yr experience 70 yr old semi-pro guitarist

58. Leo Kottke playing a slow, introspective tune

He is know for his fiery, rapid, syncopated pieces, but when he wants to get simple--sometimes the harder task--he can make you almost weep.
