Turn off tv/stereo - what do you like to hear?

[Skip Intro]

Poll question: Turn off tv/stereo - what do you like to hear?

Window open, tv/music off.

I love, love the sound of water running, like a brook, that gentle, trickling sound.

I'll sometimes run my shower just for the ambient sounds as I play on the net.

I don't know why.

Like the sounds of a good T-Storm too.

1. Trains moving and train whistles in the distance.

[cestpaspossible]

2. hmm, you said you like running water, but you didn't put that in the poll

there is a creek outside my front door, lucky me...

[Skip Intro]

3. ack!

[parasim]

4. I voted "other" for two reasons...

1) depending on the mood, I like all of the choices you have here.
2) I live on a busy street in the city, and the sounds of the cars, particularly in the early evening, have that fade in/out white noise sound of an ocean, but also that great ambient sound of the city, impatient horns, tire chirps, walking/talking people... I really dig that.

5. what is a tire chirp?

never heard of that before

[parasim]

23. That's probably because I made it up...

... and I'm not all that well known for my catch phrases.

I was going to say "squealing of tires" but I didn't want to make it sound like there's a car race going on out there. "Tire chirp" refers to when somebody comes up to a traffic light or stopped car or something and hits the brakes at the last minute and there's a little "ert!" sound. That happens a lot on my street.

Sometimes it's a longer sound, which would then make it a "squeal", in which case, I tend to stop what I'm doing for the duration of the sound and wait for the crash at end. Usually never happens...

6. The voices in my head

And they debate constantly about the how it was possible that the US soccer squad could beat the Panamanians 3-0 and scoring all three goals in the first half. Some of them say it was the poor play of the defensemen of the Panama team. Some say the US squad is just that good. Some say the Panamanians were using poor tactics going into the game. Some say the Panamanians were too cocky going into the match.
:shrug:

7. Other--

In CA, the windy nights during the fall...won't be hearing those for quite a while as I go to school in NY.

I also like the sound of heavy rain.

[Madrone]

8. Silence.

n/t

10. Can't stand silence. Can't sleep to it. Don't like it at all.

Its too loud.

[Heidi]

9. Water running through the koi pond filter

and back into the pond, light wind in the palmettos, frogs and crickets singing. And it smells like rain is coming.

[Ron Green]

11. Every night I go to sleep with the sound of the ocean.

If I spend a night away from the coast, I sometimes wake up startled by the silence.

[fujiyama]

12. My computer

is pretty noisy. I hear the fans.

[JRob]

13. it could be a long list... and how do you pick just one?

[tjwmason]

14. Birds

Which is good as I do frequently hear them, both at home and at work. They're rather quiet today though :(

[baldguy]

15. Birds twittering first

Thenthe low hum of my refrigerater. The occational car going by. The fan I have in my attic window. And the way-too-loud sound of my neighbor's brand new a/c. Then, every once in a while, I can hear a train going by.

My neighborhood is rather quite.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. I love a good thunderstorm

[MissHoneychurch]

17. I love to sit at the ocean and listen to the waves

it calms me down a lot. Wish I could do it more often. But unfortunately I don't even live close to an ocean :cry:

When I did my internship in Savannah I pretty much went to the Atlantic every weekend. Loved it.

[RetroLounge]

18. The sound of distant train whistles

[bertha katzenengel]

19. Tough call. Toss up between birds, ocean, and thunderstorm.

[earthmama]

20. Storms

Nothing like sitting outide on the porcg watching a storm come in with a cup of tea. So relaxing

[seemunkee]

21. The ringing in my ears

Its not what I want to hear but I spent too much time around woodworking machinery without hearing protectors.

[northzax]

22. I know it ain't

and that's the girl upstairs with a new boyfriend. I mean I'm all for people having their fun, but TWO hours? show off.

I
ll go with "Wind in the Trees" for 600, Alex.

[ronnykmarshall]

24. Tom Cruise running down Santa Monica Blvd

screaming "I'm in love with Katie Holmes!".
