Amongst my favourites are the loud and clear songs of the Bellbird and the Tui outside The Cottage and rain on the roof or windows when I am snug in bed. One of my dislikes is the adverts on TV (particularly in NZ) when the sound is ramped up so much over the set level for the programme.<br /><br />What I really love, though, is that I live in environments with few neighbours and only the noise of the countryside to listen to (other than, of course, my music which I can play without disturbing anyone).GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-84685955260843664312012-04-12T18:54:11.044+01:002012-04-12T18:54:11.044+01:00Favourite sounds -- happy children's laughter,...Favourite sounds -- happy children's laughter, the twittering of birds outside my window, the distant sound of a jet flying overhead which conjures up visions of people and places both far and dear, the sound of a loved one's voice on the other end of the telephone<br /><br />Least favourite sound -- lawn/leaf blowers!!Canadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-32611632420551166302012-04-12T14:14:55.842+01:002012-04-12T14:14:55.842+01:00How strange, I have never had anything bounced fro...How strange, I have never had anything bounced from a blog comment box. I suppose there's always a first time. <br />I'm sorry for the poor old souls in the nursing home if there is that amount of noise. <br />I think my favourite sound is the skylark, when I'm cycling across sunny English countryside, and can hear it very high in the air above. My least favourite sound - well there are many because I'm easily distracted by sound. But loud boring muzak always gets me down and depresses me. Apart from the obvious ones of people shouting angrily at each other, babies crying in distress, etc.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-20755301388192719052012-04-12T13:55:21.825+01:002012-04-12T13:55:21.825+01:00Sounds I love:

You are so kind! :) <br /><br />As to sounds, there are many I love - church bells (we have many here in Savannah), the sound of horses hooves on pavement (we have those too here in Savannah), the birds singing in the backyard, Ramses purring, the fish tank gurgling, the clicking of my knitting needles... I could go on and on! <br /><br />My least favorite sounds are those of modern machinery. It seems that gardening in our part of the world has gone from peaceful to extremely loud as everything is done with either gas-powered lawn mowers, weed whackers, chain saws, and (the worst of them all) leaf blowers. It makes me feel sad for the plants that are being tended to that way... <br /><br />Anyway, wishing you a great day!!Silke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-78437289027501796612012-04-12T10:03:14.507+01:002012-04-12T10:03:14.507+01:00Scream - and become a noisy neighbour yourself :-D...Scream - and become a noisy neighbour yourself :-DLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-79332358330020886142012-04-12T09:56:31.684+01:002012-04-12T09:56:31.684+01:00The sound I really hate is of the answer machine, ...The sound I really hate is of the answer machine, when it is Kate's voice saying "Will try and ring you next week Mum.Love you. Bye." If only I had my door key in my hand instead of at the bottom of a very large bag!<br /><br />My most favourite sound is of the plane landing at Stornoway airport - bringing family or friends home safely. <br /><br />Of course I love to hear the birds, kettle singing, church bells and even the chickens across the road but these sounds happen all the time and the first two not so often so they are special.Spesh 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044378302911602273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-49687315319124907742012-04-12T08:21:37.593+01:002012-04-12T08:21:37.593+01:00The Blogger comment time has been whacky for weeks...The Blogger comment time has been whacky for weeks. Doesn't fit neither sender nor receiver time.<br /><br />One of my favourite sounds is running water (n.b. in a place where it is supposed to be running). One of the least favourite is indeed noisy neighbours. I suspect strange noises in one's own home feel particularly invasive because there's nowhere to go to escape them.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-51459868965017827272012-04-12T06:44:12.222+01:002012-04-12T06:44:12.222+01:00Checked settings - they say my blog is set to GMT ...Checked settings - they say my blog is set to GMT and it's 6.42 am.

I suspect noisy neighbours are going to figure highly with a lot of people! As I write this at twenty five to seven in the morning the nursing home has just emptied its bins and had a bin lorry reversing in 'Beep, beep, Vehicle reversing.

Hmmm that depends... I like the blackbird's dawn song, and the church bells (yes, I posted about those, too!), and of course the cry of the buzzard (you guessed it - there is an extra post about this on my blog as well).<br /><br />Least favourite sounds are those made by my inconsiderate neighbours, stomping up and down the stairs, banging doors that can be shut perfectly normally, and so on.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
