Just some sounds

Just for a change, another list, this time a list of sounds. Describing music is not always an easy task, you just lack the words for what you hear. And that's good. You wouldn't want sounds to repeat what you already know. The list can also offer ideas to those that are in need of them. I'm sure there are thousands more to list and to find. Another trick could be to list the sounds below with the list of human emotions already published earlier. Sounds and emotions : music in its most basic form.
