A tent zip in the dark sounds absolutely terrifying!!

Lovebeingamummy2 · 09/07/2023 21:51

My baby giggling

countrygirl99 · 09/07/2023 21:51

Horse eating hay. But tent zip good too.

Pinkbonbon · 09/07/2023 21:52

Pretty sure your best sound becomes a worst sound if you're in the tent alone in the middle of nowhere and it's not you opening the zip though op xD

But for me, the sound of opening a can of fizzy juice :)

sea water water gently lapping. I find it so soothing.

So many, I agree with the tent zip but also the sea. DS1 singing, he’s adopted and very anxious so took years to feel safe and relaxed enough to sing along to something. He’s totally tuneless but it’s such a great sound. He’s just started dancing too (he’s 19) ❤️

champagne cork popping

waves on a beach

My sons true belly laugh, music to my ears. Also pretty much anything he says after a long 3 years of a speech delay!

hard rain on the pavement on a summers evening, smell is awesome too

plus birdsong in the morning somewhere rural

WithIcePlease · 09/07/2023 21:56

It was my DDog snuffling in her sleep next to me ❤️

FirstTimeNameChanger · 09/07/2023 21:56

My children sleeping with that heavy breathing
Waves
River
Wind
Also - tent zip, that's a good one

Underthebell · 09/07/2023 21:56

My children laughing lots, their sleeping breath/mini snores.

Polkadotpjs · 09/07/2023 21:56

A rickenbacker through a Vox AC 30 according to mr polka. For me it's waves hitting the shore. I love it

AdoraBell · 09/07/2023 21:57

Children/babies laughing.

Derrymum123 · 09/07/2023 21:58

Strong waves hitting a rock and crashing with a spray. Even better to watch.

Wereongunoil · 09/07/2023 22:01

I think a very close second is that snuffling sniffing dogs do when they've smelt something interesting

Waves lapping gently on the shore

My friends and family laughing

Silence

Fishes nibbling on coral when snorkelling

Certain tunes that bring back memories

Birdsong and nature

The first few glugs of wine poured into a glass.

CopperSeahorses · 09/07/2023 22:02

Finding videos pop up in my memories with my husband's voice, I haven't heard it in the longest time. He died last year and although I have photos of him I have a need to hear his voice sometimes and every now and then a video pops up with his voice on it.

HappiDaze · 09/07/2023 22:02

Pop of a champagne 🥂 🍾 cork

Drews · 09/07/2023 22:03

Loud thunder

afterdropshock · 09/07/2023 22:05

A quiet day in the garden and a train rushing by in the distance.

GetYourHandsOffMyCake · 09/07/2023 22:06

That snuffly noise that new babies make

SeaPeeps · 09/07/2023 22:06

Waves.
Curlews calling.
Tawny owls hooting just before the dawn chorus.
