Can you hear it?
Not yet? OK, hang in there. The goal is to have you 香蕉视频直播榟ear香蕉视频直播� 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 (don香蕉视频直播檛 judge). There was no one else home, it was completely quiet and the 香蕉视频直播榗lack, tssssshhhh香蕉视频直播� 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 香蕉视频直播榖est香蕉视频直播� sounds?
So, with the help of some of my talented Black Press colleagues, here香蕉视频直播檚 a sample of those sounds.
香蕉视频直播� The crunch, crunch of skates on ice, especially the first couple of steps. Even better if you香蕉视频直播檙e outside on a pond or a lake. Anyone else remember the frightening sound of ice 香蕉视频直播榮ettling香蕉视频直播� beneath you when you香蕉视频直播檙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.
香蕉视频直播� The rumble of a V8 engine. Always awesome. Reminds me of days watching my first sports hero, Rick O香蕉视频直播橠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. I香蕉视频直播檇 even toss in the distinctive sound of an old VW engine.
香蕉视频直播� Harder to find these days, but the smooth slice of a paper cutter.
香蕉视频直播� My ringtone. The guitar intro by 香蕉视频直播楽weet Child o香蕉视频直播� Mine香蕉视频直播� by Guns N香蕉视频直播� Roses. Live a Pavlovian dog, I instinctively reach for my phone whenever I hear the song on the radio.
香蕉视频直播� The 香蕉视频直播榟isssssssssss thwack香蕉视频直播� sound of a good fastball hitting a catcher香蕉视频直播檚 mitt. Also the perfect sound (and feeling) when you absolutely barrel up on a pitch. Similar to a perfectly piped golf drive.
香蕉视频直播� The ping of a shot off a metal goalpost. Even better if you香蕉视频直播檙e the goalie.
香蕉视频直播� A baby香蕉视频直播檚 uncontrolled giggle. Try not to laugh yourself.
香蕉视频直播� A chainsaw firing up. Same for an old lawn mower.
香蕉视频直播� My Mum香蕉视频直播檚 voice. Man, I wish we had more videos back in the day. Also the distinctive sound of any family member香蕉视频直播檚 walk in the hall at night.
香蕉视频直播� A rotary phone when you had a series of higher numbers.
香蕉视频直播� The noise of a diving board when you jump as high as you can. Also the calming sound after you enter the water.
香蕉视频直播� The first bite of a foldover kettle chip.
香蕉视频直播� The woosh tearing off the metal lid on a fresh container of tennis balls.
香蕉视频直播� The pleasing slice of scissors skating atop wrapping paper.
香蕉视频直播� The staccato popping of bubble wrap.
香蕉视频直播� The thunderous ending to a fireworks show. (Dogs don香蕉视频直播檛 agree).
香蕉视频直播� Thunder itself. And lightning. And pounding rain outside your window.
香蕉视频直播� The crunch of your boot steps in fresh snow, while you香蕉视频直播檙e otherwise surrounded by a cloak of white silence.
香蕉视频直播� The rush of a raging river. The calming sounds of waves lapping on the beach.
香蕉视频直播� The school bell/buzzer to end the day.
香蕉视频直播� The piercing shriek of a boiling kettle.
香蕉视频直播� Birds chirping outside your open window on a summer morning.
香蕉视频直播� The flapping of sheets, hanging on a clothesline and dancing in the breeze.
香蕉视频直播� The bang of 香蕉视频直播榗aps香蕉视频直播� from those little toy guns back in the day.
香蕉视频直播� The 香蕉视频直播榗heep, cheep, tweeet香蕉视频直播� of Mattel Classic Football, still the world香蕉视频直播檚 best electronic game.
So, have you 香蕉视频直播榟eard香蕉视频直播� any of them yet as you read along?
Here香蕉视频直播檚 some more, from my colleagues:
香蕉视频直播� Guitar fuzz set just left to sustain.
香蕉视频直播� The Seismic Charges from Star Wars.
香蕉视频直播� R2D2香蕉视频直播檚 screams when something goes wrong.
香蕉视频直播� The sound of a really nice bike freehub when it spins.
香蕉视频直播� The crackle of a campfire.
香蕉视频直播� Loons at a lake (the birds, I hope).
香蕉视频直播� Distant train horns.
香蕉视频直播� A dog snoring; a cat purring.
香蕉视频直播� Anchor chains, plane engines and train whistles.
香蕉视频直播� Those chimes that precede announcements on the ferries.
