[HopeHoops]

1. Worst sound: The fucking alarm clock

Best sound: Involves my wife - can't post the details without getting the thread locked.

[NJmaverick]

2. well can you give us a hint?

:evilgrin:

[HopeHoops]

3. Lets just say there's one thing she doesn't do...

that's screaming "OH GOD!"

[many a good man]

5. Warble? Coo? Purr? Grunt?

You're right - this could get lockable!

[HopeHoops]

12. I'm pleading the 5th here.

:evilgrin:

[many a good man]

4. Dentist's drill is the worst

I'm not sure what is the best. Candidates:

laughter
sound of geese flapping wings while flying overhead
rumble of thunder
piano
...

[cwydro]

6. Birds singing.

crickets on a summer day...I love that sound.

I HATE leaf blowers with a passion. Get a damn rake or broom.

[NJmaverick]

9. forgot all about leaf blowers

If I were king they would be promptly outlawed. All except the much quieter electric ones.

7. Those dentist drills are pretty nasty

I worked in a hospital that had a dental clinic. I could handle going into the morgue, the OR and patient room no problem. Spending time in the clinic hearing those drills on the other hand:crazy:

Now, like you say - meh.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[sarge43]

11. Mine

Best: A baby's coo, a heartfelt "thank you", the hum of contented bees, the patter of much needed rain, the hiss of wind in pine trees, the crack of a baseball bat and the cheer as the ball goes into orbit, now a fading memory -- the whistle of a steam locomotive making a night passage, Mozart.

Worst: "It might have been. *sigh."

[NJmaverick]

14. I like those positive sounds

I would add the sound of a baby or very young child laughing

[sarge43]

17. Thanks

Yeah, when the kids laugh, they laugh all over. No holding back.

[cwydro]

A ship's horn, especially when you are on the ship.

Bacon frying.

People abusing the arts for ego- and cash-related purposes ruin it for everyone.

[Ikonoklast]

For the worst...



















anything by Oasis.


:popcorn:

[Mendocino]

26. The creak and slam of an old fashioned wooden screen door

distant thunder, soft rain, the music of Grieg, the whistle of an elk, tea kettles and the howling of my Siberian Husky.

The worst-car alarms and horns, gunshots, breaking glass, anything my boss says and Sean Hannity.

[Louisiana1976]
