Your favourite ambient sound.

[MrDarkling]

Hmm. Rain is pretty nice. I think it depends what the rain is hitting though. The sound of the impact is key to the whole experience for me.

I also like hearing how different fans sound. Whenever I'm at a friends or someone elses house, I ask to turn their fan on if they have one.

That's pretty cool. ^_^

For me, Rain and Thunder is definitely high on the list. Just the generic sound of nature is pretty awesome too, though (as in, when I was in South Africa for vacation, we went to the 2 main Parks there, Kruger and Hluhluwe. The animals were amazing, but thinking back, the sound of the animals on the plains, the birds etc., made a great ambient sound ^_^ ).

Out of those 2, I'm not sure. However, I'll usually just say "Rain and Thunder" if I'm asked, since it's very unlikely I can hear the South African plains from anywhere here in Australia.

Who here has heard the sound of an idling pipe organ?
It sounds like a really, really deep soft rumbling. Overpressure in the windboxes slowly letting air out gently vibrates the pipes- not enough to make a sound when playing, but grand enough to certainly shout volumes of the ambiance.

Rain for me..

 

[Brutus03]

I would have to go with Wind going through trees.

Thanks for the site it seems like it's the most popular sound.

I like beach sounds, specifically gulls crying and waves crashing.

So I was thinking with school and everything my most ambient noise is computer fans.
However it's not my favorite.

Mine would have to be any kind of rain.

The name says it all, what's your favorite ambient sound?
(No particular criteria, it could be music, sounds, noises, anything)

Lightning.

It sounds so incredibly soothing for some reason.

 

[cardboard pirate]

the sound of rain on a tin roof.
or the sound of trains.

 

[Broady Brio]

If I'm feeling down, I'll agree with rain.

However, when I'm happier I have no idea. I don't think I have one.

Rain, hands down. Not the sound of it tapping on the roof, but that calming tune of rain falling in a forest. It's just the most relaxing thing.

 

[The Night Shade]

Rain i love rain

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

rain seems to be the go-to answer. But my top rated one is either my girlfriend's sleeping (Actually struggle to sleep without it, and struggle to stay awake with it) or the sounds of my computer.

Though i do have to admit the sound of heavy rain on either windows or a car/caravan/tin roof are truly amazing

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

I have always been a fan of complete silence, I find it peaceful.

 

[Stilt-Man]

For me, it's a snowy day. Everything is so still and quiet, then every so often the plows come thru and shake everything up for a moment, then it's back to quiet.

I'm also fond of running water. Not from a spigot, but a brook or river, even ocean waves at night.

 

[Hiikuro]

Favorite: Most definitely wind. Oh how I love wind and all its beauty. But also rustling leaves, rain, and the sounds of animals.

Least favorite: The repetitive sound of bass from someone playing music loudly, as for example a party hosted by a neighbor. It has caused me to want to do harm to someone in the past. It is just so throughly unpleasant and intrusive.

 

[bam13302]

lol, i thought this was supposed to be ambient game sounds, of which it would be the sound of a nearby cave in minecraft (those really creapy sounds, i love them), my most comforting IRL sound is that of conversation in a nearby room, preferably of family
i also like the sound of old hard drives working, like those old ide laptop drives

 

[mrmostlymittens]

Rain or quacking ducks. And by quacking ducks I mean one or two quacking a little bit...not a whole flock.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Rain. Dishwashers. Washing machines.Ocean waves. Rivers. Creeks. Moving and/or rushing water, it seems.
