Sounds I Do Like

1. Dogs chewing – the more human it sounds, the better

2. Distant lawnmowers on sunny Saturdays – At least 2 houses down.  Not saws, drills, blowers, barking dogs, or gunshots.

3. Planes flying over in surround-sound movies -  because for a moment I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth out of the home theater system.

4. Crowd vocals – I’m loving the “ooh ooh aah ohh ohh”’s at the end of end of Viva la Vida (track 6) on Coldplay’s Left Right Left Right.  Something about this makes me feel like everyone in the world has decided to be friends.

5. Thunder

    Ice Skates.

    But I don’t get it Tripp, you hate on U2, and then you praise Coldplay?

    They’re the same garbage

  3. Brad Ruggles says:

    No question…The THX sound is the most awesome sound in the world.

    - Opening a new can of tennis balls.

    - A nice hard swish in basketball.

    - Rolling thunder (not to be confused with Garth Brooks’ “Thunder Rolls”).

    - Tripp’s verbal approval.

  5. David Crosby says:

    I love the sound of a birdie putt hitting the bottom of the cup. Unfortunately, I don’t get to hear that sound too often.

    Seriously nobody said this yet?…..

    bubble wrap….

    I also enjoy the Ketchup bottle making a juicy “tooting” noise at the dinner table… I don’t care how old you are, that’ll make you laugh….

      Bubble wrap…. I remember spending a whole afternoon when I was younger with my cousins. We had this large sheet of bubble wrap and we just popped all the bubbles. That moment is forever branded in my memory.

  9. brad says:

    The sound of the mud during swine mating season.

    Duck conversations.

    When popcorn hits it stride in the microwave…before the popping slows down.

  10. Becka says:

    The sound of Shane saying, “sure honey, whatever you want”!

  11. Rob Shepherd says:

    The sound of silence after my dad stops eating. He is such a loud eater it drives me crazy.

  12. nate says:

    i love the sound of a good hearty “boo.” nothing like 70,000 people expressing disapproval in unison at one poor sucker.

  13. bryan a says:

    I like the sound of me typing when i am typing in someone’s comments section to be annoying and tell them that they left the third “left” out of the new Coldplay title.

    I like the sound of the Fenway faithful singing Sweet Caroline in the middle of the 8th inning.

    I like the sound a gumball machine makes when you put your coin in and turn.

    I like the sound you hear at the end of a LOST episode when the word “LOST” comes on the screen. Actually, wait, I actually hate that sound because it means the episode is over.

    I like the sound a baseball crowd makes when a pitcher fakes a pickoff move to third and then to first because half of them are idiots and think he balked.

  14. Tyler says:

    I also like that mild squeak in my dash that no amount of slapping can silence.

  15. Thor says:

    The Puget Sound is probably my favorite.

  16. Rinda says:

    1 Sizzling steak!
    2 The crunch of me biting into an apple.
    (ok I’m hungry)

    3. a well played cello
    4. birds chirping in the morning
    5. waves crashing on the beach

  17. adamkeyes says:

    my babies screaming all night.
    definitely my favorite.

  18. Tim Smith says:

    A Harley Davidson with straight pipes.

    Carl Nathe saying “Touchdown Kentucky!”

    Other people laughing at something I said.

    Large crowds cheering/singing in unison. In person, I hate live albums.

  19. Tyler says:

    My kids’ laughter.
    Morning farts.

  20. David Scammell says:

    1. My baby girl (9 months old) giggling

    2. My baby girl giving zerberts (she actually does the sound effect too)

    3. The faint sound of children playing at sunset

    4. When I’m holding my wife in my arms and she sighs a happy sigh.

    5. The crackling of a real “hard” wood fire on a quiet and cool night.

    6. The sound of rain.
