I love the sound of heavy rain outside while I'm lying in bed. What would be your favourite sound?

A series of sounds really ... all within a few secs of each other ...

The ching and rattle of the fridge door closing ....
The schccssssshssssss as the bottle opener releases the gas ...
The hollow metallic-plastic sound as the top comes to rest on the counter ...
The noise as I drop the lid on the offending cap of the pedal bin ....
The squeak and slow exhalation of air from fav. chair as I rest my butt in it ...
The glug glug as I sip from my bottle ....
The roar of the crowd as a match with Ireland playing comes on the TV ...
The screech about 'shifting my lazy ass' and my turn to peel the spuds ...



Bliss!

Silence

The Master of Disaster

When it's quiet enough ie. little traffic going by the house sitting and listening to birds singing in the garden, particularly smaller birds such as robins, tits and finches.

Thunder, particularly on a rainy day. Makes you feel simultaneously really insignificant and really alive at the same time.

If you really listen nature makes the best sounds of all!

Pataman

The Angelus, because that means it time to go home

a fat guy

The clickitty-clack of someone using a videogame controller.

The sound of a harmonica.

jupiterjack

The sound of a computer.
The flicking of a switch.

Archeron

I love it at night when the horses in the inside stables are fed and are munching on silage and it is so peacful just to stand in the hallway and listen love it

phasers

the sound of cards shuffling and being put on a table. I used to listen to this radio psychic's show just for the sound of her laying out the tarot cards

opening a can.

Pretty good.
Would modify the F1 car, to the scream of a grid full of F1 cars as the red lights go out at the start of a race.

The sound of one of these first thing in the morning: http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/5088/zgeh3.jpg
