Sounds and noises

[charry]

A sound or noise you heard growing up, that you don’t hear anymore….



clinking of milk bottles, being delivered, in the early morning ….

 

[Pinky]

The sound of a clothes-line wheel.
The bell ringing of the knife sharpener man.

 

[Beezer]

The Ice Cream Truck.

 

[Alligatorob]

My father yelling at us something to the effect of "how about now" as he moved the TV antenna around on the roof.

clinking of milk bottles, being delivered, in the early morning ….

Good one, had forgotten that one until your post.

The sound of a clothes-line wheel.

Another good one.

 

[Tish]

The sound of a dial-up phone.

 

[Paco Dennis]

The loud ding that went off when you drove into a filling station and ran over that dingy hose.

 

[Sassycakes]

When I was growing up I could hear a man yelling Culligan man. I had no idea what it was about.

 

[chic]

The sound of mom's kitchen timer telling her something as ready to come out of the oven. She also had a manual typewriter that used to click when you hit the key's and dinged when you came to the end of a line. In school we had classrooms full of those old typewriters.

 

[Blessed]

Train whistles, the stomping of feet on wooden bleachers at the high school football games.

 

[Been There]

The sound of the fire alarm bell going off in school.

When I was around 4 or 5, we lived in a ghetto apartment. I loved it because every day around lunchtime, I would hear a "scurrying, scraping" noise. I'd sit on the floor & 5 huge rats jumped into my lap & I shared my lunch with them. My brother & sister said I was crazy & they would bite me & make me sick. They never did.

 

[Wren]

The ‘Rag and Bone’ man and kids playing in the streets

I miss the music "Jams" I had with friends. It sounded great for us, BUT not to the majority of other people. Loud music and parties often had a visit by the police politely telling us to turn it down...a neighbor complained. It was disturbing the peace?

Only 15 second video of this band. You will know what I mean.

 

[Paco Dennis]

My Dad welding in our garage. The welding machine and the crackle that the sparks make.

[timoc]

The sound of the horse's hooves on the cobblestones when the coalman was delivering.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Thankfully...the sound of baseball games coming from our only T.V.

 

[Fyrefox]

The sound of static as TV broadcasting ceased for the day, and a “test pattern” or simply “snow” filled your screen…

I still hear the sound of the Milkman's bottles being delivered because we still have milk delivery here who deliver to my neighbours.. ( about 6 people in my road get milk deliveries)

I have a clothes line on a reel in my garden for using to dry large items which won't fit in the dryer..so don't miss that

I have 3 Rotary dial phones.. because they're my collection, so I don't miss the sound of those ..

The Ice cream Van comes around every day in summer here... his tune is Bobby Shafto's gone to sea... so I don't miss that..

I think maybe I'd like to hear the sound of my adult daughter again when she was a baby ...I wish we could have afforded a Camcorder when she was little

 

[Jackie23]

....the click on the telephone when the partyline neighbors picked up.

 

[Aunt Mavis]

Dinner bell.

 

[Aunt Mavis]

A guy up the road used to play bagpipes. I never knew exactly who he was or where he lived. There’s nothing like the sound of bagpipes.

We have an ice cream van coming round the village in summer. We have a mobile fishmonger who comer round in his van every Friday, but as a child, I remember the fishmonger coming round the streets with his horse and cart calling out to the locals.

Back in the 60's when I was a student at Queens University, there was a man who used to play the saw outside the city hall. This is mentioned in Van Morrison's song "Sense of Wonder".

 

[Chet]

We lived across the alley from an elementary school and you could hear the kids outside during recess. When it was over...quiet.

The National Anthem at 1 AM, as TV shut down for the day.
