    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/
