A Roar
a Howl
Sound of wings
Footsteps

a hissing
metal scrapping
a laugh
wood rubbing
a thud

A soft voice telling them there is nothing to worry about.

Bushes rustling
Indistinct Whispers
A scream in the distance

a branch snapping
creaking of wood
splash of water
rocks falling
sniffing sound
teeth snapping
scraching sound

Baby crying

Clank of armour

Distant clash of weapons

A death Cry (creature or Namegiver)

Rumble of Thunder (rockfall, avalanche, flood or explosion)

Gentle hum of a light crystal

Total silence

A noise only one character can hear

A rattle (a snake or a child’s toy)

A child singing

The crackle of flames

Pickaxe on stone

Hammer on Chisel or Anvil

The Sound of Hooves

A horn

Drums in the Deep

The pounding of your own heart

The baying of wolves

The creaking of a forest

The creaking of unstable ice

The distant sound of waves

The chirping of birds

The Squeal of Rats

Raised voices

Cloth or a ship’s sail in the wind

The whistle on a kettle

The Snoring of some large creature

Shattering of Glass or a Mirror

The clang of a bell

The sound of taught ropes (somethings going to give)

The sound of an unseen arrow passing

The snap of a bow string

The Scrape of something being dragged

A wet fart on the vee market
Of all things I lost, sanity I held dearest.
