Sounds I love to hear…


Today I was thinking of the sounds I love to hear.
  • Birds singing in the morning - seems like they are so happy to be up early
  • A train approaching from the distance - the sound of the train's warning whistle getting louder as the closer it gets
  • Children laughing and playing outside - just enjoyment to my ears
  • Babies giggling make me giggle, too.
  • The ocean at night - you can hear the power of the waves yet it calms you to sleep
  • "Gentlemen, start your engines!" - get ready!
  • A dog barking in the distance - protecting its family
  • The rustling of leaves on a tree moving to a summer breeze
  • The ice cream truck music - Ice cream! Ice cream!
  • A frog's mating call on a hot summer night -
  • The bark of a puppy when playing - ready for the next move
  • The sound of a marching band in a parade - wave a flag
  • Echo of a cannon shot in the hills - how far can it be heard?
  • The splash of a child jumping into a pool - hey Grandma, look!
  • The squeaking of a swing when a child swings
  • The startup of a lawnmower in the Spring
  • Snow landing on the bushes and the ground - you have to be real quiet to hear it
  • Happy Birthday!
  • Congratulations!
  • My granddaughter telling me "It's a beautiful day Grandma!"
  • A gentle rain
  • A cat's meow
  • You are now pronounced man and wife!
  • Christmas bells ringing
  • Church bells ringing - what time is it?
  • Fireworks!
  • A flag flapping in the wind
  • Tap dancing shoes
  • "Are you ready for some football?"
  • A cow bell ringing
  • The clip-clop sound of a horse
  • Someone playing an accordion
  • Someone playing a harp - so peaceful
  • A hiccup
  • Christmas Carols being sung
  • A child singing
  • Taps being played
  • Santa saying "Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!
  • The sound of a water fountain
  • Your favorite song being played on the radio
  • The honking of horns for a newly married couple
  • A newborn baby's 1st cry - whew!
  • School bell
  • Goodnight John Boy
  • Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
  • Touchdown!
  • Home Run!
  • The playing of the Star Spangled banner at the Olympics Awards Ceremony
  • Thank you!
  • A rooster crowing in the morning
