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

Lions roaring at night (I live near a wildlife park)

notangelinajolie · 26/08/2021 22:33

If it's raining I go to bed early so I can listen to the rain on the window.
I love the sound of a good storm too.

Thunder in the distance. Early planes coming in from a long cold night flight over the Atlantic (I live near Gatwick).

Sarahlou63 · 26/08/2021 22:38

My horses whickering when I take their feed buckets out every morning. No better sound.

Dumbledoresgirl · 26/08/2021 22:43

Seagulls calling. I know some people hate seagulls but I love them.

BeeFloof · 26/08/2021 22:46

The ice cream van. Especially when it’s loud and accompanied by the van’s engine so you know your 99 is just outside

The sound of the little waterfall on our pond - so relaxing in the summer ☀️

The kids playing and talking (as opposed to bickering and shouting)

The sea.

LavendulaAngustifolia · 26/08/2021 22:49

My cats purr
Thunder
My local church bells
Cracking joints
Crackling fire
Whistling kettle

Oh yes to church bells! I used to live in a tiny village in the Yorkshire Dales one street away from the church. I loved the bells, and the clock would chime the time and the little bongs every quarter hour - so charming

My dog snoring...always makes me smile.

ActonSquirrel · 26/08/2021 22:53

Church bells in the City of London on a glorious evening

TrevorWithTheWeather · 26/08/2021 22:58

Absolutely my 4 y/o DS laughing, closely followed by listening to him play. The imagination is amazing 🤩
Otherwise my cat purring, as he's not much of a purrer

My horse wickering to me
My DH saying hello
Rain on windows
Children at work saying " " is here in an excited tone 🙂

Icanflyhigh · 26/08/2021 23:24

The sea and waves breaking on rocks.

LoveFall · 26/08/2021 23:25

My dog play growling at me when we are playing and I am trying to get his stuffed toy from him. He thinks he sounds so fierce!

Gentle waves lapping up on a lakeshore.

A thunderstorm with heavy rain at night.

MrsSkylerWhite · 26/08/2021 23:26

Our grandchild laughing.
Prior to that, our cats chirruping/wood pigeons in the garden.

RedRec · 26/08/2021 23:52

Wood pigeons here too. It reminds me of the place I come from. And intend to go back to one day.

Mscarna · 26/08/2021 23:53

The soft popping sound from a campfire late at night

Bortles · 27/08/2021 00:06

The sea
Tibetan prayer bowl
John Malkovich's voice
City sounds in the early morning
My daughter and I when we sing together

Holothane · 27/08/2021 00:07

Rain when I’m curled in bed,
Birds singing.

BeaucoupFish · 27/08/2021 00:07

Crackling log fire
And sea breaking over pebbles
