We were asked today to consider two things; what are the sounds that you love? What are the sounds that you hate?
Well here is my list of the sounds I dislike:
- circus sounds
- loud noises
- nails on chalkboard
- clicking of nails
- clock ticking
- snoring
- food chewing
here are the sounds I love:
- wind, rain, thunder
- fireworks
- laughter
- nature; birds chirping
- opening a can of soft drink
- trying to talk underwater
- dolphin sounds
- waves crashing on the ocean
- a fan on a hot night
- crackling of a fire
- emptying the bin on my computer
- perfectly executed high five
why? what do they evoke?
Well firstly the sounds I dislike, circus noises make me feel anxious and uncomfortable, it makes me feel trapped and in a way like I’m being tortured. Why? well I think it seemed from the negative experiences I’ve had at circus’s and the fear I associate with it. Food chewing is one that makes me feel really uncomfortable, I don’t know why I just hate the bodily functions of the mouth so much so I can eat next to a noisy eater. Snoring just bothers me because it is the one thing that keeps me awake at night and makes me so angry because I can’t sleep, now whenever i hear someone deep breathing it becomes the most annoying sound. Clock ticking is the same thing, the constant tick is something that is so loud and relentless, I can’t get it out of my head andĀ cannot focus on anything else like sleeping. So I remove all clocks from my bedroom and the hallway.
Now on a lighter note the sounds I love; firstly a fan I have it on every night even in winter (I just sleep with extra blankets) because the sound is so soothing to me, its constant and soft allowing me to drift off to sleep. The crackling of a fire is beyond satisfying and really enjoyable no matter where I am if I hear this I instantly imagine Im in the wilderness. Opening a something fizzy, enough said ahh. Laughter I absolutely love because its infectious it evokes happiness and laughter to myself and those around me. Something that both frightens me but it also a song I find satisfying and enjoyable is thunder, I absolutely love listening to the loud crash that nature makes and the rumbles that it creates in my unstable home.
This looks really good!
Awesome post! I really liked the detail you went into about sounds
