what's your favourite animal noise

[epops]

that sluping noise carp make when there feeding on the surface of the water

[Gill Catton]

Nightingale without a doubt.....

[nutmeg]

I don't have a particular favourite, but always like to hear:

Curlews
The screech of a barn owl
Song thrush - in song and when tapping snails on a stone
Nightingale in full throttle
Stridulating grasshoppers on sunny days
Male toads in spring

... and more

[nightshade]

My list would be a long one,I will settle for; The thwack of willow on leather and drowsy Bumble Bees on a hot summers day.
The mist just rising off the valley and nothing calling yet except the Cuckoo
Sparrows in a dust bath

[Tursiops2]

Too many to list really, but Cetti's warbler has to be close to the top - there's just something about that extraordinary burst of sound from a bird hidden deep in a reedbed that gives me goosebumps. Curlew, Lapwing and Nightingale are close seconds

In summer I sit next to the lavender that is full of bumble bees buzzing away... So relaxing

I don't ride so didn't know but can't help love the sound when watching the box! Another favourite is the Bees buzzing around the garden it's a huge drone when they sup from the nectar in the Crab Apple tree

Too much fast work on hard ground causes the navicular bone (in horses hooves) to swell up..usual remedy is to put them on painkillers for rest of their time. Though it is a good sound

another sound i almost forgot is cat purrs..thoughts of my old fat cat's purr lulling me to sleep spring to mind and more recently the silly purr of a certain black and white cat i've gone all soft on There's something very comforting and reassuring about a cat's purr.

Someone always beats me to my post

Have love the sound of the curlew ever since I was a little nipper, makes me feel right at home.
