5. The sound of a woman with a deep sexy voice
breathing heavily close to my ear.

25. Nick Lowe has a song called "Breaking Glass"
"l love the sound of breaking glass
Especially when I'm lonely
l need the noises of destruction
When there's nothing new
Oh nothing new, sound of breaking glass
I love the sound of breaking glass
Deep into the night
l love the sound of its condition
Flying all around
Oh all around, sound of breaking glass
Nothing new, sound of breaking glass"

12. Rain, without a doubt
I just love the sound of rain.

I remember it from my childhood.

I cherish it here where I live.

I even have a few machines that create this sound, when nature does not create it for me.

My best childhood memories seem to be associated with the sound of rain, and I use that sound also to create spiritual images that help me calm down when I'm very unhinged.

13. tree branches, glazed in ice
My very favorite is the sound of tree branches, glazed in ice, crashing into each other. It sounds like like the crash of window glass breaking, but it goes on and on....

22. Birds, early in the morning...
Ocean waves breaking on the beach...

Geese honking as they flying south (I heard two flocks this morning!)

The sound of dry leaves rustling in the wind at sunset in Autumn

A fire crackling in the fireplace...

The greetings of "Hello!" from friends and family!
