What is your favourite sound?
« on: July 29, 2019, 11:26:39 AM »
Mine would be the sound of silence if I could get it, but as I suffer from constant tinnitus, which has got worse over the years I am never totally peaceful. :o

I too am a member of this club. It's a bugger ...

Mine is variable and sometimes I'm hardly aware of it, but at others  :(

My favourite sound is that of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra playing loud bits in Elgar and Mahler and drowning out the tinnitus.

No I can't I am afraid. I am having quite a problem with this forum even though I am using the proxy site. I can't stay logged in either.

Sorry to hear it.  Others seem to be having the same problem.  I haven't had any trouble yet.  I am using Firefox to access the site.

I like the sound of children playing too, don't get a lot of that but sometimes can hear them in neighbouring gardens.

Birdsong is nice & wind through the trees.

The 'Rolling Stones', not so good for the neighbours though l have to turn the volume up just below ear damage volume, it's an involuntary action over which I have no control.

P S 'Brown Sugar' the other day, I was testing one of these 'Elixer' machines in a restaurant and got out just in time.

The sound of leather on willow if England are batting. The sound of leather on ash if England are bowling.

My age-related hearing loss is such that I can barely hear birdsong now (well, that doesn't include the songs of birds like crows).

No problem. What Robbie said was: Birdsong is nice & wind through the trees.

Re favourite sounds, close run thing between listening to any of my children sleeping when they were tiny, or a popping champagne cork. Hmmm...

Yeah right - actually 37 years together if you include the seven when we lived in heinous sin before getting married.

You know that old philosophical conundrum about if a tree falls in a forrest with no-one to hear it does it still make a sound? My version is, if I'm all on my own in a forrest and express an opinion, am I still wrong?  ;)
