Can you hear it?
Not yet? OK, hang in there. The goal is to have you 91裸聊视频榟ear91裸聊视频� this piece, if possible for you of course, and without any fancy computer technology.
Prior to Christmas, I absent-mindedly opened a can of diet Ginger Ale (don91裸聊视频檛 judge). There was no one else home, it was completely quiet and the 91裸聊视频榗lack, tssssshhhh91裸聊视频� sound just seemed to resonate more than usual.
Opening of a pop or beer can has to be one of the best sounds out there. Got me thinking. What are the other 91裸聊视频榖est91裸聊视频� sounds?
So, with the help of some of my talented Black Press colleagues, here91裸聊视频檚 a sample of those sounds.
91裸聊视频� The crunch, crunch of skates on ice, especially the first couple of steps. Even better if you91裸聊视频檙e outside on a pond or a lake. Anyone else remember the frightening sound of ice 91裸聊视频榮ettling91裸聊视频� beneath you when you91裸聊视频檙e way out above deep water? You thought it was cracking and you were about to meet a watery demise? Still sends chills down my spine.
91裸聊视频� The rumble of a V8 engine. Always awesome. Reminds me of days watching my first sports hero, Rick O91裸聊视频橠ell, at Western Speedway. Being in the pits or front row and listening as the cars zoomed by in a pack (even more intense at an Indy Car or F1 race) was always memorable. Stick tap (also a great sound) to the sound of an idling dragster or funny car. I91裸聊视频檇 even toss in the distinctive sound of an old VW engine.
91裸聊视频� Harder to find these days, but the smooth slice of a paper cutter.
91裸聊视频� My ringtone. The guitar intro by 91裸聊视频楽weet Child o91裸聊视频� Mine91裸聊视频� by Guns N91裸聊视频� Roses. Live a Pavlovian dog, I instinctively reach for my phone whenever I hear the song on the radio.
91裸聊视频� The 91裸聊视频榟isssssssssss thwack91裸聊视频� sound of a good fastball hitting a catcher91裸聊视频檚 mitt. Also the perfect sound (and feeling) when you absolutely barrel up on a pitch. Similar to a perfectly piped golf drive.
91裸聊视频� The ping of a shot off a metal goalpost. Even better if you91裸聊视频檙e the goalie.
91裸聊视频� A baby91裸聊视频檚 uncontrolled giggle. Try not to laugh yourself.
91裸聊视频� A chainsaw firing up. Same for an old lawn mower.
91裸聊视频� My Mum91裸聊视频檚 voice. Man, I wish we had more videos back in the day. Also the distinctive sound of any family member91裸聊视频檚 walk in the hall at night.
91裸聊视频� A rotary phone when you had a series of higher numbers.
91裸聊视频� The noise of a diving board when you jump as high as you can. Also the calming sound after you enter the water.
91裸聊视频� The first bite of a foldover kettle chip.
91裸聊视频� The woosh tearing off the metal lid on a fresh container of tennis balls.
91裸聊视频� The pleasing slice of scissors skating atop wrapping paper.
91裸聊视频� The staccato popping of bubble wrap.
91裸聊视频� The thunderous ending to a fireworks show. (Dogs don91裸聊视频檛 agree).
91裸聊视频� Thunder itself. And lightning. And pounding rain outside your window.
91裸聊视频� The crunch of your boot steps in fresh snow, while you91裸聊视频檙e otherwise surrounded by a cloak of white silence.
91裸聊视频� The rush of a raging river. The calming sounds of waves lapping on the beach.
91裸聊视频� The school bell/buzzer to end the day.
91裸聊视频� The piercing shriek of a boiling kettle.
91裸聊视频� Birds chirping outside your open window on a summer morning.
91裸聊视频� The flapping of sheets, hanging on a clothesline and dancing in the breeze.
91裸聊视频� The bang of 91裸聊视频榗aps91裸聊视频� from those little toy guns back in the day.
91裸聊视频� The 91裸聊视频榗heep, cheep, tweeet91裸聊视频� of Mattel Classic Football, still the world91裸聊视频檚 best electronic game.
So, have you 91裸聊视频榟eard91裸聊视频� any of them yet as you read along?
Here91裸聊视频檚 some more, from my colleagues:
91裸聊视频� Guitar fuzz set just left to sustain.
91裸聊视频� The Seismic Charges from Star Wars.
91裸聊视频� R2D291裸聊视频檚 screams when something goes wrong.
91裸聊视频� The sound of a really nice bike freehub when it spins.
91裸聊视频� The crackle of a campfire.
91裸聊视频� Loons at a lake (the birds, I hope).
91裸聊视频� Distant train horns.
91裸聊视频� A dog snoring; a cat purring.
91裸聊视频� Anchor chains, plane engines and train whistles.
91裸聊视频� Those chimes that precede announcements on the ferries.
