The hills are alive, with the sound of... wooshing???

I've been clicking through the "Imagination Prompt Generator" that Sarah has used a couple of times because I'm bored and alone at work today. Prior to deciding to do this I was being an investigator and found out that Neal Cotts sucked so hardcore that they sent him down to the minors and our local team happens to be playing the baby Cubs next week. Squee! :-D

Anyway, most of the topics seemed like duds but I liked this one... "My 10 favorite sounds" because it got me thinking if I could actually name 10 sounds that mean enough to me to think about them in this "favorites". So here I go, my 10 favorite sounds.

  1. Wooshing. Favorite sound in the world. The sound of skates on ice. The best is when it's quiet. Just shut your eyes and listen to it. I loved that sound even before I became a hockey fanatic.
  2. The sound of a window unit air conditioner at full blast. Crazy, I know, but I fell asleep for years to that sound and even after going back to live in Nashville I would sleep on the couch under it so I could actually fall asleep.
  3. Snow crunching under your shoes after a big snow.
  4. Waves crashing in. I would give anything to be at a beach right now.
  5. The light up bells that my Gran puts up every Christmas in the dining room.
  6. The rustling and crunching of dead leaves in the fall.
  7. Tons of wrapping paper being ripped into all at once.

And that's as far as I've gotten. How do you have 10 favorite sounds? I could have put the goal horn at a Preds game but I love what the sound represents rather than the sound itself.
