bassman21 1 year 3 months ago Posts: 4553	For me...... Fish aquarium pump Church organs Vienna horns Marching bands Florescent light ballast humming Water falls Cracking sound of a fire Crickets chirping at night The sound of a basketball game (ie ball bouncing, shoes squeaking) A baby trying to talk from the distance in a mall The high pitch sound that a CRT makes. (Not sure I can even hear it anymore )

Computer POST beep (and fan starting and disk drive check) VCR accepting a tape TV static I think they are all technology related because those are very distinct sounds that are always the same. Crickets and fires, though big parts of my youth, don't give me that tinge, and I can't decide whether it's because their sounds are irregular, or if they're just less unusual for me to to hear now.

bassman21 1 year 3 months ago Posts: 4553	Here's a few more worth mentioning. The mating call sound that toads make at night after a big rain. The sound of the freeway while laying in bed late at night. I don't live near a freeway anymore so I have not herd it from that perspective in some time. Small engine planes and helicopters flying over. A gas furnace or water heater igniting. A/C, water fountain or refrigerator compressor starting up. Wind chimes The sound of a garage door closing. Rapid touch tone (DTMF) phone sounds. stake n sheak wrote: bassman21 wrote: The high pitch sound that a CRT makes. Yesyesyes. The granddaughter clock in my parents' house.

Yes! The boot up sound of an old computer is very nostalgic for me too. So is the sound a old CRT makes when you turn it on. Timothy1964 wrote: The on-board sound of a jet airplane during taxi/take-off (announcements, safety/emergency instructions, the captain telling the flight attendants to "prepare for take-off", the engines throttling up) Yes that's a very classic sound. I only flew on a plane once as a kid so it doesn't have much of a nostalgic value for me though.

vkimo 1 year 3 months ago Posts: 2321 Forum Mod Editor	I don't think music falls into the category Bassman is talking about. For me a few are: Doorbell tone when you walk into old convenience stores. Rain pit pattering. Legos spilling into a bin. Coin dropped into a slot. RC electric car engine noise.

bassman21 1 year 3 months ago Posts: 4553	I agree about the door bell sound at convenience stores Vkimo. Yea music in general doesn't count, but the instruments do. retroman wrote: Motor home engine noise A diesel engine idling and the smell of them takes me back to the loading ramp at school.

	Don't pay any attention to the evil spirited and dead of heart. They're not worth your time.

I remember hearing them printing while waiting to see the principal when I was in trouble. I would be scared that I was going to get the paddled and that sound just resonated with me. Another sound nostalgic for some that was negative for me were rotary phones. I remember the principal dialing our home phone number to get permission to paddle me. Of course the answer was always yes.
