I'll go first: I love hearing woodpigeons cooing. Reminds me of summer, gardens and it is such a peaceful sound.

My one year old's belly laugh. It brings me so much happiness to hear her.

haba · 26/08/2021 19:22

Also my children laughing. It's not as frequent as it should be, so I treasure it all the more when I hear it.

Rain on the windows at night
A babbling stream
Waves breaking on the shore
(All very watery)

daysofmuffins · 26/08/2021 19:23

Oh yes children laughing is a great one. And waves!! So relaxing or cathartic depending on how strong.

I also love hearing my neighbours' toddler babbling through the wall- he's just starting to make recognisable words, and it's so lovely.

bringincrazyback · 26/08/2021 19:28

My cats purring.

Mommabear20 · 26/08/2021 19:37

My DD laughing 🥰
Rain on a conservatory roof
My dogs snoring 😴 (it's not loud but there's just something comforting about her little snores ❤️)

Serena1977 · 26/08/2021 19:37

anything to do with water

Terriah · 26/08/2021 19:39

A record being scratched - such a unique and cool sound.

Whysolong7 · 26/08/2021 20:29

My kids babbling away and telling each other off 😀

nocoolnamesleft · 26/08/2021 20:31

The various sounds of the sea. So calming.

TSSDNCOP · 26/08/2021 20:31

My laptop lid closing for the weekend or at the start of my holiday.

poppym12 · 26/08/2021 20:34

The sea

mamaweebeastie · 26/08/2021 20:40

Bird songs
Sticky squelchy mud
Children laughing, especially my DD
Popping/clicking of most fidget toys
Music

Just had this conversation with my sister.

Mine is sitting out in summer and hearing other people enjoying themselves. Laughter, faint music, kids, but most of all the sound of cutlery clinking Smile

Wide · 26/08/2021 20:45

Clicky whispering sounds, keybaord tapping, I love asmr and listen to these videos. So relaxing and send me to sleep

LeanneBrownsLonelyBraincell · 26/08/2021 20:46

Rain in the middle of the night.

Wide · 26/08/2021 20:46

Ooh also hearing distant lawn mowers on a summers day and low planes flying by

OrangeBananaFish · 26/08/2021 20:55

I opened this thread specifically to say woodpigeons too. I love that noise. Reminds me of summer and holidays.

I also like (all similar sounding) lawnmowers, tractors and little aeroplanes. Love it when I'm out in the countryside and all I can hear is a little plane overheard.

DD2 saying she is going upstairs/to the park/outside Grin Anywhere to give me peace (she can be a bit clingy)

Zorinindustries · 26/08/2021 21:01

Heavy rain on the conservatory roof when I'm warm and cosy inside.

Didn’t you know it’s illegal on mn to admit you enjoy hearing other people in their gardens? 😂
Lovelydovey · 26/08/2021 21:02

Rain or champagne corks popping

Eeiliethya · 26/08/2021 21:08

Thunderstorms with the bedroom window open whilst I'm in bed with a brew and a book.

Aubree17 · 26/08/2021 21:24

Rain battering against the bedroom window or my teenagers joking and laughing with each other.

Monkeytennis97 · 26/08/2021 22:12

The orchestras that I play in.

I just get swallowed up in the lusciousness of the sound. Beautiful.
