Sound

Sounds in nature

Look at these extracts from short stories.
At first there was an eerie1 silence, then there was a rumble of thunder in the distance. Soon the wind was whistling through the trees and we could hear the waves crashing on the beach. The storm had begun. It was a lovely place for a picnic. There was a little babbling2 stream and birds were singing in the trees. Then we heard the patter of rain on the leaves above us. Sadly, it was turning into a typical British summer’s day.
No sound broke the silence of the wintry landscape. Then suddenly two shots rang out and we heard the piercing3 cry of a dying bird. The hunting season had begun.

1 strange in a frightening and mysterious way
2 low, continuous noise of water flowing over stones
3 high, loud and unpleasant
