What is the coolest sound?

I love to hear great-horned owls. And geese honking overhead (as long as they don't land). And roosters crowing at 4 or 4:30 a.m.

Here in town, the birdsong in the early morning is very loud. I like it, though.

The quiet is deafening!

When i lived on lower east side of NYC in late 60s i loved when we got heavy overnight snowfall, especially on a Sarurday. Sunday mornings were marginally quieter till 10 or 11 a.m. as it was but a heavy snow muffled sounds even more. Usually my early morning walk of 3-5 blocks to.get Sunday papers was goal oriented: get them and home. But those snowy ones, i'd linger in Tompkins Square Park just enjoying the quiet

I like to step outdoors, on a quiet night, and listen to the owls "hooting" in the forest. They can carry on quite a "conversation".

They sure can. When we first moved here in 2012, our senior Pug-Shih Tzu mix seemed quite convinced at first that they were plotting against us not the rabbits, squirrels, and rodents. It took a lot of soothing for her to not go ballistic over their sounds

I love the quiet of the early morning hours when there are no sounds other than the incessant ringing in my ears from tinnitus. I have a built-in white noise generator! I only wish there was a way to turn it off.

I've had intermittent issues with Tinnitus, for years....largely due to a buildup of earwax. My doctor recommended putting in a couple of drops of Debrox, waiting a few minutes, then flushing with a syringe and warm water. You can buy a basic "kit" at Walmart for about $10.....works good for me.

No, my ears are clean. Even a cleaning at the doctor's office doesn't help.

I use one of these cheap waterpiks that attach to the faucet to clean my ears. I cut the end off so the water comes straight out instead of at an angle. It works pretty good!

The high pitched coyote wail, slipping thru the pines of a misty evening

While at work, a friend asked me to go deer hunting with him. He lived in WV, so it sounded like a good time. The first day out, we hunted early in the morning and then about an hour before sunset. On the way back to his cabin, it was dark and snowy and we had to use flashlights to see our way. About 100 yards from the cabin, we heard the howl of a coyote. It was awesome. The western part of WV is really beautiful country.
