Favorable "sound" memories from your childhood

Rain on the tin porch roof outside my bedroom window.

Robin song in the early morning.

Coffee percolating (yes I'm dating myself) early in the morning.

As i was waking up hearing my Mom and Dad talking in the kitchen while My Mom cooked bacon back around 1949!

I remember all of these things, and also the sound of my grandmother outside the back door pumping water out of the well....

and this one was perfect for her, if you didn't pay attention you would feel that cane.

The squeaky wheel in my hamster cage
Chatter of parakeets
Mourning doves calling

Cattle lowing.

The feed tractor moved across the hill across from my house at the same time each morning. If I heard the cattle from the left side of my window, I was early and had plenty of time to get ready for school. BUT, if I heard them lowing from the right side of my window that meant I was late!

Mourning doves calling -

.

At one time I had twenty aquariums each inhabited by a female hamster, babies, and wheel - know how much noise that made in the spare bedroom. Sold the babies to pay for my other animal addictions.

Laying in bed listening to the rain on the old tin roof.

Waking up before daylight to the smell of breakfast cooking and hearing Ma puttering around in the kitchen.

The sound of the churn dasher and squeak of the rocker as Ma rocked in that old wooden rocker on the porch churning butter.

The rhythmic sound of milk going in the tin pail at milking time.

Whippoorwills calling in the twilight.

I remember the roof in the rain being so loud you could not hear your self think.... No wood, only tin on rafters....

After some tornado damage I put a new tin roof on top of my shingle roof.. Nothing... Not a sound... I wanted to hear it....

I was just thinking about hearing Ma call us to supper too. She's stick her head out the back door and yell "It's on the board!!!!"

I haven't thought of that in years and years.

This thread is bringing back lots of good memories.

My Mom's dinner call was a resounding, "SUPPER".

Breakfast sounds was part of my coffee memory. My bedroom was right above the kitchen.
