Iconic Sounds

 


Cicadas

A muscle car showing off

A truck downshifting (jake brake)

The wolf call in every horror movie ever made

The owl hoot in every dark forest movie scene

A train whistle from far away

A hawk scream

Crickets on a summer evening

A siren

The roar of a motorcycle gang on the highway

An electric saw from behind the neighbor’s garage door

Crows in the corn field

Popcorn on the stove, in the microwave, at the theatre

A distant dog bark during an awkward silence

A fresh coke fizzing

The pop of a champagne bottle opening

The high pitch from a boiling tea kettle on the stove

The drone of a single engine airplane

The rev or a jet

Heated air pushed into a hot air balloon

A pig squeal

Cattle mooing and cowboys yelling

Foot steps on gravel

The step on a loose floorboard

Hammering

A door slam

The elongated bent whistle of a train passing by

A tree falling in the woods

Rain on pavement

A cat yowl

Rain on a tin roof

A water fall

A battleship alarm

A cruise ship horn

A tractor in the field

An airplane engine revving up on the runway

Old chugging steam engine

Snow plow clicking along the highway

The Girl from Ipanema playing in the elevator

An oozing saxophone in a sleezy mystery movie

The bottle cap popping of a bottle of soda
