What are some of your most favourite sounds to hear, the kind of sounds that totally calm and soothe your soul, or just simply put a smile on your face?
I’ll begin this discussion by sharing one of mine: the sound of our cat Yoshi purring into my ear in the middle of the night, when I’m having trouble sleeping.
Yoshi purring must be so soothing.
One of my favourite noises is sitting reading a book and listening to the fire crackling, very relaxing and calming.
Ah, yes…definitely!
My daughter laughing, the sound of an open fire crackling, rain outside when im cosy in bed, cats purring
Funny, but I’m actually listening to the rain outside my bedroom window right now, and it’s heavenly. 
My all time favourite sound is my grand-babies laughing!
Childs laughter, hands down, best sound in the world.
The sound of walking through snow at night is a close 2nd.
When ever my cat Vader jumps into my lap, she makes this MMMMRRRRPPP sound.
I love my cat’s purr but now that’s she’s an old lady I really love how she snores when asleep in her bed.
A basketball swooshing through the net without touching the rim. Especially when it’s my three point shot.
A new bike the first couple of weeks I own it. Hardly a sound at all but what I can hear is poetry in motion.
Airplanes flying over. Not the window rattling ones lol. We always lived near AFB growing up because of my Dads work, and he could tell you from the sound what kind of airplane was flying over. Takes me back to childhood. I live in a farming town very close to a small airport so I get to hear small ones all the time and I love it!
The wind going trough the leaves of a tree.
Sea waves.
An owl calling in the night.
The coffee pot brewing in the morning
Crickets at night
A fan blowing in the room
This one’s probably a little odd, but…
The electric hair clippers at the barber shop. There’s something about that buzz and the vibration against my neck that almost lulls me to sleep.
My daughter singing and playing guitar in her room late at night.
Kitty purrs are the best! Lately we’ve been listening to “brown noise” at night. Definitely promotes deep sleep.
Very nice! I like that one.
-Low, rumbling thunder
-Listening to my family chatting and laughing together when I’m in the other room - it’s such a comforting sound and interesting to listen to when set apart a bit, observing and taking it all in
-Trains in the distance
-Babies cooing and babbling, little kid giggles, kids playing
-Most nature sounds, especially creek/stream waters and all the adjacent sounds like birdies and leaves rustling, etc.
-The sound of an outdoor market just coming to life before it gets too busy, or on the edges of one with live music in the distance
Apparently I like the idea of sounds or the edge of them instead of being right in the midst of it all! I have very sensitive ears, I do know that, and never leave home without my ear plugs.
Definitely the laughter of my grandson and the sound of ocean waves hitting the shoreline.
The snow bit is an excellent one. Also the quiet dampening effect that falling snow has on sounds.
Exactly! It hits different at night! Love it!
