What's a sound or noise you heard growing up that you don’t hear anymore. For me it's my mom...

My father pulling into our gravel driveway, which meant it was time to go hide in my room.

I grew up during the steam to diesel change on the railroad so miss the sound of those engines fighting gravity as they pulled cars up the valley. Also the sound of the whistles, clacking of the wheels on rail joints and the bells of the crossing gates.

Depending on where we were living in my growing up years? It would be hearing a train whistle, a barge on the Rhine River blowing a horn, and church bells chiming. Not that I never hear two of those things anymore, just more rarely.

Great question! I love your observations and agree too. Hmmm....I don't hear church bells as often. Or bee's. Kettles don't sound as good to me when they boil now. I miss the soft but distinct click of remote control buttons too.

My grandfather yelling at everyone. That man could bellow like a rutting moose. He had a booming voice and just like to holler😄

Quiet. Solitude with no whitesound in the background from traffic, surface or air, no cellphones or other devices within hearing distance. Just the quiet solitude of nature with an occasional steer or calf bawling in the distance.

The grand prix on a sunday. My dad would watch it most of the day on the tv downstairs so the soundtrack to our sunday would be NEEEEOOWWWWM 🤣🤣 I expect it's still the same but I don't watch it anymore.

My daddy laughing while watching tv. I used to crawl in his lap wrap my arms around him and put my ear to his chest and listen to his heartbeat and hear his deep rumble of laughter.

The sound of trains moving on the tracks and the flocking of seagulls. Rewinding vhs tapes

As young as I am, I still remember the humming and buzzing of crt tvs.

Waves crashing on the beach in the background.
The milk truck in the morning.
The hum of mixed conversations in the coffee room.
People laughing out in public.
Sounds of kids walking to school.
The kettle whistling when its boiled.
Wood being chopped.
Neighbours talking over the fence.

Dino11 · M

Trains at night, cows, tornado storm alerts, cars with straight pipes, Church bells on Sundays,
snow plows at night

The distant hammer in the stamping plant.

I had a couple of relatives who lost fingers to that hammer.

MasterDvdC · 70-79, M

My dad woodworking. Miss the smell of sawdust.

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

The milkman and sounds of rattling empty bottles...

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

The doors and windows rattling as Concorde clears the Welsh coast and goes Supersonic....
The sound of mechanical cash registers..
Steam trains..
The unique sound of the Intercity 125 train(still around but they sound different)
The swish of the cane..
Kids playing on the street..

Lilymoon · F

The telephone rings

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

Oh, and the combine and silage choppers when they started up. They were awesome!

NankerPhelge · 61-69, M

The sound of my dad's voice. He passed away 18 years ago.

bijouxbroussard · F

My older relatives speaking French, foghorns on the Bay, and the national anthem on tv with the announcement "This concludes our broadcast day."
And this !
