I was out walking my dog last night and the spring peepers were making a racket. I took my wife and my dad out to hear them as well.

What are some of your favorite sounds from nature?

Not the only or most favorite but A favorite

Elk bugle
Loon on a lake
Wolves howling

Elk bugle or geese in flight

Silence

Kent

The ocean

Kind of like KRP except mine is the wind through the trees. Rustling leaves is just like God saying, " I am here" to me.

Elk bugle
Turkey gobble

The wind

Rooster pheasant cackle

Mourning dove wings

Whispering pines

I suppose I take a lot for granted living where I do.

Exactly

Loons
Meadowlarks
wind in the forest

Owls, mourning doves, gobblers, geese and ducks.

Elk, geese, cranes, loons, pheasants, morning doves, wolves, owls, rain on a metal roof (if I am warm and dry! )

Surf or whitewater roar when camping beside class III rapids. Put me to sleep with no awakenings.

Loon and elk bugle..unfortunately I don't hear a lot of elk bugles in Ny

The flea fart

Western dippers while steelhead fishing and blue grouse hooting.

Must have some great ears - even better than your sniffer, eh?

Wind through the ponderosas; Golden Eagle scream; Elk calls and bugles; wolves howling at night.

Bull moose coming in grunting.

Whippoorwills in summer.

Damn, those are good ones. I'd add, the ringing in my ears after I just shot my rifle at a big game animal.

Anything but the human noises.

And I try not to take all the natural sounds out here for granted.

Still haven't heard the pair of willets that normally show up to nest. I expect them soon.

Honestly - there's something "right" at times with the scream of a chainsaw from 3 40's over while getting the occasional whiff of woodsmoke.

Yuup.

I do try to remind my self though.

Migrating Sandhill Cranes.

You have to be ready too. It’s quick.

A fart that’s so loud it causes shock gobbles out of turkeys.

I guess, but personally, I'd rather live in the middle section of 9 sq miles and have to listen to any neighbors from a mile away.

Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen any time soon.

Red Winged Blackbird

Every fall and spring, they come right over the house.

And they live here during breeding season so I hear them most days. See them all the time too.

100 yds or so from the back door, just the other day :

Elk bugle in my hunting spot on opening morning.

Sand hill cranes on a early foggy morning in the marsh.

Loons on a northern lake.

I don't hear much in nature any more and when I do, I just try to figure out what it is and where it's coming from.

Silence is nice.

Does the scream of a drag after hooking into a large fish count?

Coyotes at dawn

Red Wing Black Birds + 1


Rio7

Thunderstorms,
Rain on a tin roof,
Loons calling on Wilderness Lake

Mel

It would be silence for me.

Bighunter22: Of all of "Nature's" sounds I most look forward to and enjoy the bugling of Elk in the fall.
Also on my "favorite sounds list" are Loons calling, Geese honking, Pheasants crowing and Coyotes howling!
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

For those mentioning "silence"


in some parts silence in nature means something is on the prowl.......


around here that's likely something with claws and teeth...........................and it may be big enough to make a meal out of a human.




Or it might just be a badger, bobcat, or a coyote.

Bobwhite quail
Pheasant cackle
Hoot owl

Step mother get stuck in the dryer

Meadowlarks around the house in spring

Or

Bull Elk bugling in September nearby

This

Sandhill Cranes lifting off in flight

yep

we have them Killdeer's clear out hear too

They run when you approach to lear you away from their nest

A light breeze through the aspens or pines. Or the western screech owl duet at night.

A turkey gobbling in the spri g time and a whippoorwill.

I confess to liking elk calls. I mean, who could not? I like coyotes too (though I shoot them now and then). Meadowlarks. Red Winged Blackbirds. In the winter, at our place, we can hear the snow fall. GD

There's a lot of them that I like.
Wren....hardest working bird....first up and last to bed down.
Flicker
Stellar Jay
Kingfisher
Rooster Pheasant
Coyote
Owl
Sandhill Crane

One of the great things about having a gravel driveway!
Did you ever spot a nest full of eggs on the ground?
You can stand there looking at it, and when you take your eyes off of it, you have to search for it again!
I used to sit in the car when I got home to watch the little ones run around.
They’re my favorite bird.
But to listen to Whippoorwills has gotta be my favorite sound.

Summertime we’ll ride up on the mountain about dark just to listen.
7mm

Good sounds all and I would add the soft breathy blow of a whale close by my boat in a foggy dawn.

green alligators and long-necked geese, humpty-backed camels and chim pand zees, cats and rats and elephants

Coyote never gets a free pass

no matter how good they sound

Crackling of a good campfire

Don’t know of any I don’t like…

I peed on a spotted sandpiper nest in the gravel bar of a creek I was working on.

We had a killdeer nest 100 or so yards from the house a couple of springs back, right alongside our paved road. It failed, likely as the birds didn't stay on it enough.

Along with the nesting cranes, geese, willets, etc, we also have snipe that nest in our little "valley".

Haven't heard them yet this year, I think they start around late April or May.

They sound weird

I like those, too.

The favorite I like to hear at night here is the Chuck Will's Widow.

Gunfire on a hunting trip.

A Quail whistle in early morn and return call..........

The sound I most look forward to in the spring.

Whipperwill

Wind blowing through pine trees. Migrating geese.

Screech Owl
Springtime Bull Frog bellowing
Bobwhite quail
Tree frogs calling in the rain

First gobble of the turkey at first light on the first hunt if the season…..if that won’t wake you up from cabin fever you need to pack up and go home.

Gamble Quail

Western Meadowlark

Bugling elk

To those who’ve only heard a bull elk’s bugle on TV…..you’ve missed out on nature’s most beautiful sound. To hear it with a rifle in your hand, and it’s getting closer with each bugle….it’ll send me straight into afib.

Whiporill is a distant second place. Love to hear em calling at night while camping. All night. All damn night long.

I've grown accustomed to the neighborhood woodpecker working over the top of the power pole on the corner of the lot.

Robins in the early morning.

A goldfish sneeze. Can't hear it anymore....

Cedar Waxwings in the treetops.

The sound of a ponderosa pinecone opening on a hot day, and watching seeds fall down around me while sitting near the tree.

Javelina grunts, especially when hunting them.

Nitehawks buzzing.

Corn growing after a warm rain.

Around home ...

1) Spring frogs. The return of frog "song" marks the end of winter and the start of spring.
2) Crickets on fall evenings.
3) Nighthawks

Up in the woods ...

4) Evening breeze in the tree tops
5) Fish splashing in the lake at night
6) Ducks on the same lake in daylight


One other thing .. I don't know what it is, but something makes a weird "ahhhhh" roar. It's gravelly, low. No scream, shriek, whistle, etc aspect to it. Travels for miles .. 3 miles or more. Either there is something out there we don't know about or there is something we do know about that seldom, seldom makes this sound. It's not a match for deer, elk, bear, cougar, wolf, coyote, fox, bobcat .. and I can't think of any other large critters known to be in my area. What I like about it .. I guess is just that there are some things we still don't know. Sometimes us humans need to be reminded of that.

Going to be may before we get any here, if they hold to their schedule.

The booming dives are a nice evening treat here.

Not only that........................they eat fuggin skeeters and other bugs!

I really enjoy them all…..

It might as well be crickets,.....since tinnitus causes me to hear them all the time anyway.

Geese....honking

Might sound strange...but I enjoy listening to starlings. (like shooting them too)

They are a mimicking bird. They can make quail sounds and other birds, cats meowing too! Most of they time an annoying crackling noise, but if you listen long enough, some pretty cool stuff.

Lot of people are saying whippoorwills. whippoorwills are fine... unless you're trying to sleep. Out in the woods when whippoorwills are calling and it can sound like two dozen car alarms going off.. all... night... long.

Best sound: Katydids. NOT crickets... I hate crickets. Katydids.

I also hate cicadas. They're what hot sounds like, and I hate hot.

mother crows taking to their young and, later, the conversations in the treetops between the adults and juveniles
barred owls hooting to one another
carolina wrens
cardinals chipping
a crowd of grackles feeding in the yard
peepers and crickets and katydids
geese honking overhead

The sound of a Western Meadowlark after a long winter. That's when you know, winter is finally over.

Loons at night on a remote lake, and the sound of American Golden Eyes coming to your decoys in the fog.

KB

Hoot owls
Coyotes
Woodpeckers
Sound of ravens' wings
Light breezes punctuated by falling leaves
Small creeks

Many good ones already. I would add squirrels moving around in the canopy especially after a rain.

Loons at sunrise with a fog hovering above the lake waiting to be burned off by the sun.

The whistle of teal wings slicing through the air as they come into the decoys.

The scream of a mountain lion.

Many, many others.

Meh fouck a bunch of elk bugle and loons. None of that fantasy chit lives around this stinkhole negrofied ghetto.

Have to go with what I know. Katydids let us know when summertime is deep.

A catfish begging to be tossed back.

Bugling elk.

A breeze rustling quakie leaves and mourning doves. Others would be cow elk mewing as I hike out in the dark, western screech owls making the bouncing ball call and a magpie squawk on a warm summer morning.

Wolves howling at night makes the hair on my neck stand up and the first time I had a moose actually roar at me scared the schit out of me.

How about a beaver tail slapping the water.

The urban cougar scream,when surprised with a poke to the wrong hole.Or is there a wrong one???
