Gushy, but for me, for now, it's the sound of my 11 month old's breathing as he sleeps. It's truly mesmerising.
Bath farts.
Silence
A trickling stream in a pine forest. Sound and smell all in one hit.
Both of my daughters laughing together.
Silence when the kids go to sleep
Summers day, on the cornish beach at sunset, waves still crashing and the crack of a beer can being opened. That's how I envisage this year's trip as we have a cottage near the beach so no driving 😉
Snipe 'drumming', especially because you only hear it in the evenings in remote places, so you're probably out camping, bonus! 8)
Close second is Curlew calling, for much the same reasons.

I just need to find £22k down the back of the sofa.

italian v twin at full chat ... or a rolls royce merlin (goose bumps
just thinking about that one !!!)
When the dog barks in his sleep. More of a wheezy squeaky sound but it's so sweet!
My kids whining and bickering at full volume at the crack of chuffing dawn on a Saturday morning 😐
+1 for sleeping children and waves.
I also love the sound of ducks landing on water.
When you fart in the shower and it sounds like a duck quack. Well funny.
Bird song and river lying in bed, like now. Enjoying it before Jimmyjnr arrives in 10 weeks.

The muffled sound in the morning following a heavy fall of fresh snow.
My little boy giggling.
Tyres scrabbling for grip in a hard carved turn.
Children laughing, anyone's kids really, but esp mine.
And, the sound of my camper van sliding door - it means we ar out having fun somewhere.
Skylarks.
In bed listening to the hushed sound of a distant train, liked it since I was a kid...
Fresh high quality tyres on super smooth tarmact.
The subtle rustle of silk landing on the floor 😉
The postman knocking on my door with bike bits to big for the letter box.
Lakeland slate under the wheels of the bike. It always says welcome back to the Lakes for me.
That or the sound of the next shift coming through the door 15 mins before the shifts ends
Jekkyl wins it for me 😀
The sound of boots in deep snow.
The first cap from a case of cold beer at the end of a long hot day.
The dawn chorus
The squeak of snow
The sound of someone pouring a brew
Heavy rain on a Velux window.
First skylark of the year.
Heavy rain on a Velux window.
Or a tin roof - that overwhelming swell and rumble that sounds like the world is ending. Awesome!
Owls hooting, the ones in the middle of mayhem last year made my night.
Both of my daughters laughing together
Ditto, then maybe a quiet spot up a hill after a long climb, has to have an accompanying view for the full effect.
And possibly the FH buzz/clatter/clatter/scuff, sounds of the descent after..
The sound of skis through fresh powder when there's no one around.
Slap noise of a wakeboard landing from height.
The cats growling with pleasure when you give them a treat.
The sound of one hand clapping.
Monsoon rain with the wind.
😀
The most mesmerising sound I've ever heard was a massive salt water croc snapping it's jaws shut - it's not like you expect it to sound like, it's a bit like two massive cricket bats being hit together really hard, it's VERY loud too.
I was at Austrialia Zoo and it was leaping out of the water at a bit of chicken on a string.
One of the most mind blowing things I've ever witnessed.
Worst sound? Car crashes easy, even small ones (crashes not car park taps) are a million times louder than you think they should be and hard to explain the sound if you've not witnessed it.
Oh I nearly forgot - the funniest sound is a clip on YT of a huge policeman being tasered, he makes a really girly Eeeeeeeeee noise.
Birdsong
A cat purring
The crack of leather on willow
The crunch of mtb tyres through snow to semi-frozen mud
A football hitting the back of the net
That hollow kind of sound that tyres make on peaty moorland trails on the rare occasion that they're dry enough to get any kind of speed on them.
The buzzzzz of a Chris King hub on a fast decent.
The whirr of a cable car cable and the clunk, clunk, clunck noise as it goes over the wheels on one of the masts.
A football hitting the back of the net
Good call, but not if you're a keeper, as I was 🙂
Coming back from a walk with very wet dogs. You throw a towel over them to dry them. There's a particular growl they have when you rub them.
Then their scrambled eggs. The sound of them chomping their breakfast with the occasional clink of tag on bowl.
The sounds of happy dogs.
Throwing a stone along a frozen lake.
