The popping of movie popcorn
The churning of an ATM before it spits out cash
The opening bars of the (old skool) Star Wars theme
The sound of milk being heated at a coffee bar
A bathtub being filled
The sound of massage oil being rubbed between the hands of a masseuse
Others?
The pop of a wine cork -- or the beheading of a champagne bottle. ;)
ReplyDeleteGrandbabies laughs of anticipation as you walk through the door to their home.
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T believe I forgot champagne.....
ReplyDeleteGiggles of small children with a surprise just for you
ReplyDeleteSwoosh of a luxury hotel room door shutting, Friday of a weekend away
Sound of weekend breakfast being cooked, while you are still in bed
Wrapping paper being opened
First robin's chirp after a long winter
The quiet of first snow.
Jingle of the ice cream cart
The spine crack of a new book you've been looking forward to
Phone ringing with a call from an old friend you don't see often
I love this. xox
Wait wait wait....the sound of a drip coffee maker finishing its brewing!
ReplyDeleteBacon sizzling.
ReplyDeleteLove this list!
ReplyDeleteMy own personal favorites:
+ The sound of violinists (or a band) tuning up
+ People taking seats at a stadium
+ The sound of flame from a hot air balloon's blast valve

ReplyDelete+ An aeroplane 's jet engine spooling up before take off
ReplyDelete+ An aeroplane's undercarriage deploying before landing
+ A 56k dial up modem before connecting to the internet
+ The warm dual-frequency ringing tone heard after you place a phone call, as you wait for the other party to pick up.
+ Burbling of a pot of chili
ReplyDelete+ Sizzle of an egg dropping onto a cast iron skillet
+ Trickles that signal the spring thaw
Love the musicians tuning up, too.
As others have mentioned: the pop of a champagne cork. I also like hearing the steam on espresso makers, the crackle of a fire and the snapping of graham crackers and chocolate bars.
ReplyDeleteBuzz saw of jet engine turbine blades, going locally supersonic, just after take-off
ReplyDeleteThe stupid introduction to the United in-flight video featuring Jeff Smisek (enough already!)
