Favorite natural sounds.
 

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.

Beach and rain.

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.

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

thunder and lightning

Isn't thunder the sound of lightning?

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. :mad:

Aww man...:(

the beach

I was thinking of this, but only how it could sound in my imagination, as I imagine it having a kind of low resonance like an enormous subwoofer, but have only heard it on tv, which could never recreate the feeling of such a massive sound.

sound is to felt, not just heard.

A nice blazing fire.

I love the sound of snow crunching underfoot. have only heard it a few times.

I love echoes. If I find a good place for an echo I will stand there shouting LOUD shit over and over like an imbecile.


cat's purring too. I LOVE IT

pussy farts.

Oh, definitely.

you know that sound yr lady makes when you can;t quite fit the purple helmet of your cock in cuz it's so engorged huge?

;)hahahhaha! I crack myself up

trains.

raccoons and badgers in distress- the noise rock of the natural world

one time in my carriage house a baby raccoon got stuck in the wall. My Dad put some protective gloves on and got it out. You could not believe the sound it made.

good name for my next noise project.

^this

and waves crashing.
big fire with very dry wood poppin'
walking in the snow

I too like the sound of a ratchet turning over and over again

loud creeks, crickets

does my cat playing my guitar (biting guitar strings) count?

Wow, these are all great picks. I agree with you, they rock!

I like the sound of my car revving up.

I like turning up my bass amp all the way and plucking the E string of bass like a bow making the entire house shake.

forest fires, rape, and pillage.

the sound of the keyboard clicking as i respond to this stupid thread

I enjoy the sound of my own voice as I say "screw you" to this reply.

The beach.
wind,
the wind as it always sounds haunting from my kitchen,
although nothing radical really is happening outside,
sea/ waves in calm or wild state,
frogs and crickets in music,
the silence of snow.

but now I take a crap bus.
