What are your five favourite sounds? If you only like one or two sounds, you can still participate, by the way. Mine would be: (1) My son laughing (especially if it’s me that’s making him chuckle) (2) My parents laughing (as above) (3) The roar that greets a Fulham goal — to fully appreciate this, it’s best to be sat in with the opposition fans. (4) A wine bottle being uncorked. (5) Being out on an early-morning bike ride and hearing the birds singing. Honourable mentions to waves lapping against the shore, leather on willow, the sound of a heavy, long-awaited poo breaching the toilet water, and the wroof-wroof sound that’s generated when you walk at pace in mustard cords. | |
