Growing up, we camped on the shore of the lake and paddled canoes. Two of my favorite sounds from Up North; water lapping against an aluminum canoe and loon calls. I made a short video to give you a sense of the quiet and the unique noises of boat and bird. I never tire of their music.
Olas sobre una canoa, interrumpido por un somorgujo
Crecía acampando en la orilla de un lago y remando canoas. Dos de mis sonidos favoritos del Norte de Minnesota; olas traslapando sobre una canoa y el gemido de un somorgujo. Hice un video corto para enseñarte la calma del lago, y los sonidos únicos del barco y ave. Nunca me cansa de su música.

Nothing original, Rebecca. The river that runs near our house, tumbling over stones. The dawn chorus from the nearby woods and garden. But really, who could disagree with sounds like those?

The sounds don’t have to be original, I think, for them to be pleasing at a very core level. Water can make such a lovely lullaby.

Water and bird – what’s not to like! Actually surprisingly calming and rhythmical…

I love listening to the waves. My number one top nature sound ever: waves clicking and clacking through shingles. My happy place. Failing this, any wee songbird in my garden has the ability of bringing greatest joy and pleasure into my day with a few tweets.

Is that waves of rain water over roof shingles? We have a metal roof, so the rain is quite musical. Yes, birds are wonderful.

Oh, no, not rain water, I meant the sea and a shingle beach. Here in Scotland there are many black shingle beaches and the sound the waves make as they run through the rocks is truly magical.

Oh, thanks for the explanation. I’ve seen photos of the shingle beaches, but never experienced them in person. Another reason to visit Scotland!

Hi Susan, glad you liked the video. The loon is definitely a northern sound, though! Other amazing ones where you are. I’ll look at your post. : )

During my childhood I spent many summers up north in lake country. The loon’s call is iconic.

Wonderful that you had that experience in childhood, Susan. Loons’ calls are haunting and plaintive. They express such emotion.
