I can hear my favourite sound (swifts, obvs). What’s your favourite sound ?

Same as you at the moment
Robins & blackbirds & swifts. And gentle breeze blowing throng trees. Sorry I can pin down to one item only 😬
Mine is goldcrests. They sound so happy as they move around the tops of the trees.
The glug glug glug of wine pouring. Or the pop of a champagne cork 🍾 In winter, the crackle of a fire. There are some erotic sounds I'll leave aside!
Never tire of hearing the calls of a Lapwing, like someones sewn a little electronic voice box in them.
Curlew calling
Blackbirds. Simple pleasures 😊
Swifts are high on the list, but I love the sound of the ravens kronking as they fly over being chased and harried by crows.
I can't pick just one, but I love the sound of a baby laughing; when I had my dog, I loved the sound of him crunching his kibble.
Choughs for sure.
Curlew by a whisker.
Ooh I don’t know. The call of the Curlew sends shivers down my spine. Thunder and lashing down rain is thrilling. Australian magpies sound so, well, Australian. So hard to choose one.
Has to be Curlew or Yellowhammers, particularly the call of the Curlew drifting over the heath on a breezy day.
The same, plus Corncrake (don’t hear that too often, mind!) and I also love the chirping of grasshoppers, crickets and/or cicadas in summertime 😺
We are in full cicada mode in Arkansas right now. They almost block out the highway noise! 😄
Damping down the noise pollution from humankind's automotive obsession is a nice thought. It makes me smile as well. 😄🐢🐜🐝🐞🪲🦋🌳🌲
I love the ones in Japan that sing - wheeeee wheeeeeee wheeeeeeee 😺 and now I come to think of it, I love to listen to a good frog chorus. Very therapeutic!
Brass house solo .. my friends say there is something wrong with my brain. I say look at all my saxophones 🎷
Screaming Sky Demons, defo. But also Gordon and Gwen the Blackbirds calling or singing or squeaking or whistling (or going cuk-cuk-cuk if you're Gwen!) to let me know they're outside and can they please have a tasty snack of dried mealworms!
Same plus curlews bubbling in spring
