    Nice stuff.

    BTW, you’ve got an error showing at the top of your page –
    Database error: Unknown column ‘count’ in ‘field list’
    SQL: UPDATE `wp_firestats_useragents` SET `count`=count+1 WHERE id = ‘14′

    Bill - Thank you. I have been having some problems with firestats lately, thanks for the heads-up.

    Those sure are great sounds. In my mind the order is a bit different - for example I’d put the sound of snow before bubble wrap, and the sound of thunder before the engine. :)

    But where I agree completely is that rain needs to be at the top place!

    nice list! i might just make a song consisting only of these sounds.

    #5 is good, but what about the sound of a cold beverage being poured into a glass? :)

    I agree that those are some pretty amazing sounds, but nothing sounds more beautiful to me than the sound of laughter! Especially the giggle of children!

  6. 6 Sarah

    This is a great list!

    I love the sound of leaves crunching. Whenever I’m outside in the fall, I make sure to step in the leaves.

    /crunch, crunch, crunch/

    Now how the heck are you all listening to the sounds here?
    I can not find anywhere to clock on to hear ANY sounds! :o(

    Beautiful list! I am thankful I can hear these sounds.
    It is good to see you are back in BLOG BUSINESS.

    HEAR THE WORLD!

    This is the greatest “Hey deaf people guess what you’re missing” list ever.

    you talk about sounds and yet I cannot hear a single one.. why write about sounds if you will not play them?

  12. 12 casper911ca

    This is pretty cool. It just put a smile on my my face.

    P.S. - I think if Michele’s comment is very insightful, but… Michael Jackson anyone?

  13. 13 Seymour

    Children laughing, of course!

    Nothing better.
