Sounds: my daughter laughing, my cat purring, piano or violin music, a loud thunderstorm in progress, the seagulls crying at the lake with the waves rolling in.
Smells: my grandma's kitchen (baking or cooking), old books/bookstores, fresh cut grass, the air right after a thunderstorm, oranges, coffee.
Sounds: My cat purring next to me as I lay with her, rain on a tin roof, Vinnie blowing in my ear looking for a treat.
Smells: Hay, horses, my Italian greyhound, my brother's cologne, my grandmom's kitchen.
Farts, the answer to both.
Sounds: I love the sound of the bassoon, saxophone (especially tenor), and English Horn. I also love the sound of sleet. My dogs also make really cute sounds.
Smells: I love the smells I associate with each season. Also the smell of a new instrument. I'm strange, I know.

Farts, the answer to both.
Such a guy.
My favorite smells are bread baking, clean linen, jasmine. Fun fact: many years ago I read about a study scientists did on how different smells affect mood, and they found that the smell of bread baking had a calming effect on everyone they tested, no matter what country they were from or what culture they were part of.
My favorite sounds are bells ringing, Deirdre purring, and lightning cracking.
Favorite combined smell and sound is the ocean.
Thunder, and the damp, electric smell just before a lightning storm; young pine or fir; burning oak; fresh roses; baking cinnamon bread; the lub-dub of a heart; linseed oil on cedar; a chick-a-dee; heavy breathing (when appropriate). :P
I like the sound of kookaburras, I've looked on you tube but didn't find anything that captured them properly. Sometimes they can be heard in movies for a tropical forest sound even though they don't belong there, some people know the sound but think it's a howler monkey. I like cicadas but not their sound.
Mangoes and lemons smell quite nice.
The sound of rain on the roof when you can stay at home, the quiet of a forest or large park, birds chirping.
The smell of fresh baking, my parents house at yule time. The smell of fresh coffee brewing, like right now. Exuse me. :P
Sex
and sex
Wagner's music
Avgas exhaust...*don't ask cause I couldn't tell ya*
I'm with Thunder Road on the fart thing...except the smell part.
Allison, Jumo and Pratt & Whitney engines at start up and high rpms
There are several perfumes that stop me in my tracks and want to turn around to follow the woman who's wearing it. But I couldn't name one of them.
Wind in pine trees
The absolute quiet after a good snowfall
John Williams work
Watching and hearing my kids when they were very small, exploring, sleeping, eating, etc.
Sounds:
"Plink, plink, plink" of sheets/stays on aluminium yacht masts. Reminds me of my youth.
False harmonics on a guitar.
Silence.
Robert Glasper playing Herbie Hancocks 'Maiden Voyage'.
Tempestuous wind
Smells:
Hot asphalt.
Hot fudge.
Tea-tree oil.
Two-stroke engines
My neighbours cooking (she's Indian)
Cardamom.
Sound: awkward silence.
Smell: people who eat delicious food and don't wash.
Rain on falling on the roof, I used to live in an attic apartment that had a tin roof and that was the best.
Nothing beats the smell of a Fire Station. Sweaty, smoky turn outs and a row of Fire Engines. It smells of rubber, diesel and exhaust. So many great smells all rolled into one.
Sounds: My son's voice and all of the interesting things he has to say, rain on windows early in the morning, my husband's "this is unbelievably funny and stupid" laugh (it's a very special laugh that is almost a giggle and only comes out every once in a great while.)
Smells: garlic, Baby Magic baby wash, Body Works White Musk perfume (which I can no longer wear because perfumes aggravate my husband's asthma :'() the smell of cigarettes on hands (also one I haven't smelled in a long time), clean sheets.
I don't care much for garlic but sautéing onions is one of my favorite kitchen smells. I've not smoked in years but I do remember liking the smell of cigs on my hands.
Oh yes, sauteing onions is a wonderful smell too.
The smell of new print, the smell of Comme des Garcon Eau de Parfum, the smell of autumn and the smell of a crisp spring morning, the strange lack of sound on a foggy day, the smell of new shoes, the sound of a grand piano, the sound of the sea in a storm or the gentle lapping of waves on a deserted beach, the smell of dry cleaned clothes, and my favorite smell has to be that of fresh coffee.
The smell of a decent cigar, the sound of thounderous applause, that smell that saturates the walls in a steakhouse, the sound of a decent engine revving, the smell of an Islay Single malt scotch.
The smell of napalm in the morning...
Smell: the first whiff of a fresh bag of cool ranch Doritos. Weed. Gasoline. This one smell thing my wife uses in her bathroom. It's a scentsy candle or some shit but it smells great. Sizzling bacon.
Sound: popping bubble wrap. Listening to a heart beat while resting between breasts. ;) Popping corn in the microwave. Sizzling bacon.

Sizzling Bacon really is a treat for the nose and ears.
my grandma's house (woodsmoke, frying bacon or liver), fresh coffee, fallen autumn leaves, pipe tobacco, my boy cat's gingivitis-y fishy breath, certain people's sweat
Some really awesome answers. ;D
Like a few of you, I LOVE the sound of rain on a tin roof. We used to go up to the lake when I was a kid, and the trailer had a tin roof. I loved that sound so much. Also, I love the sound and the scent of a campfire or a fire in a fireplace burning and crackling... and also the scent and sound of crackly autumn leaves when you step on them. :)
Sounds: Wee man's laugh, snow crunching underfoot, loon-calls (they're the BEST), thunder
Smells: Dusty-wood smell, books, Husband's smell, clean kitty smell (seriously, smell a cat. The have a distinct smell). The top of Wee man's head after he's had a bath.
smell
banana
nestle's farine lacte
sunblock creme

rain
whale sounds
Sounds: Bacon frying, rainforest, coffee brewing

I wish! I would love to visit the rainforest. But no I just have a clock radio that has a nature sounds setting. It's pretty cheap and generic. It has ocean, rain, forest, and for some reason church bells. Still trying to figure out how church bells come from nature. Anyway I just like the sounds of the forest. I would guess that the rainforest smells kind of like the monkey house at the zoo. Lots of humidiity in the air and the smell of feces. You have to kind of be in love with nature to get past the feces part ;D

I saw an interesting documentary about immune systems. We appear to find the smells of people with complementary immune systems to our own attractive. This, presumably, is to help pass on a more rounded 'set' of immunities in reproduction. Just though you should know...

I probably heard a similar thing, contraceptive pills apparently make bad smelling males impossible to discern. An unfortunate female may commit to a smelly guy, later go off the the pill and find his stench totally unacceptable. Moral of the story was sniff out potential mates whilst pill free and not olfactorily challenged.

Haha, well it certainly served me well in my youth. Luckily I got out before the smell was detected :D

Yes, I would guess that's the reason. I read an article several years ago about this; can't remember where. Found this page just now that talks about the study: http://www.eoht.info/page/Sweaty+T-shirt+study (http://www.eoht.info/page/Sweaty+T-shirt+study)
All I know personally is that when I'm among sweaty people at the gym, some people's sweat (and the person may be male or female) smells strong but quite pleasant in a musky way, while others' is strong but really unpleasant.
Not surprisingly, I very much like the smell of Mr. D.
Although if what Pudding posted is true, I'm just kidding myself that I'm able to discern anything sniffer-wise. ;)
So as not to further derail:
the smell of used book stores and of just-finished laundry that's been dried with the poisonous fabric-softener sheets
I thought of a new smell that I love - the smell of cedar wood.

This is true! When I was on the pill, my husband didn't smell quite "right".
That's really interesting. I do love the way my husband smells.

QuoteChristopher Ryan: Well, if there's an ebbing it's due to the pressures of domesticity, it's certainly not a biological phenomenon. I'll tell you one thing, ebbing does happen in some couples. There is a very important study done by Claus Wedekind in Switzerland years ago, he wanted to understand why is it that women's sense of smell is so much stronger than men's. There must be some reason, there must be some important information that women are picking up from smell. Because to guys like us sitting in a bar talking about women, we don't talk about how good they smell, it's just a non-issue for most men, whereas women, if a guy could be George Clooney, but if he smells wrong it is a deal-breaker, forget about it.
So he wanted to understand what is going on here. He found men who were very low in one aspect of their immune response, I won't get into the technicalities, but let's say there are five different elements in the immune system, major histocompatibility complex it's called. And so he would find a man who was low in number one but okay in the others, and another man low in two but okay in the others, and so on. He had these men wear a T-shirt for three days, no deodorant, no shower, no soap, day and night, put the T-shirt in a Ziploc bag, and then he got women volunteers who also had these deficiencies in their immune response. His theory was that the women would never find the smell of a man attractive if he was low in the same thing she was because then they would likely have unhealthier babies.
He found 80% of the women chose exactly as anticipated, completely backed up his hypothesis. But 20% of the women, roughly, seemed to choose randomly. They weren't choosing the opposite, they weren't...he couldn't figure out what the pattern was. He ran the test again, same results. Then he went back and asked the women if they were taking birth control pills. The women who chose randomly were on the pill. So the pill apparently interferes with this ability to sense the immune response of a man. So think about how many couples meet each other when the woman is on the pill, they get together, they get married, they have a kid, she is off the pill now, and suddenly he's repulsive!
There is a transcript and audio of this at the link above, I did put a link to it in the Monogamy thread. It is entertaining, humorous and informative.

In a weird way, it makes me want to get genetic testing. "Sweetie, I need some of your blood. I'm trying to figure out why I think you smell good."

The smell of napalm in the morning...
+1 on the Islay Single Malt.
Smell: damp forest floor and the smell of fear (just kidding ;) )
I also love the smell of petrol, which is rather strange, but my brother likes smelling smelly athlete's feet so there are worse things out there...
Sounds: summer showers, the sound of my own blood gushing when I listen to a the inside of a seashell, chalk being crunched (I would stomp on a lot of chalk in my youth) and the sound of metal banging on metal.
Sounds: My love sleeping, rain falling, the ocean and guinea pigs when they are happy :)
Smells: the smell of your love, a rainy forrest and strawberrys :)
- Rose :)
Sounds: rain on the windows/roof, the distant sound of the ocean at my in-laws house, seagulls laughing, coffee brewing
Smells: Fizzy Pop incense, lavender and cedarwood, coconut, vanilla beans, steak on the grill, clean laundry that's been dried on a line, honeysuckle on a hot summer night, the wood and sea salt smell of the boardwalk
The smell of road works (bitumen, I guess)
The sound of a heater fan.
Sound: Flowing water.
Smell: Chocolate chip cookies in the oven and cigars.
For so many of your responses, I'm loving them because I'm thinking 'Oooh, I bet that would smell/sound great!' :D
A couple more I was thinking of --
Fresh cut grass after someone's done mowing a lawn. Smells amazing!
The sound and feel of my cat purring herself to sleep as she lies on top of me and snuggles up when she's cold and tuckered out. ;D
What my daughter said tonight, I LOVED the sound of: "Mama, you're the bestest! I love you better than chocolate chip cookies!" ;D

I can understand the silence thing, I was out for a walk today and was listening to my ipod, heard all the traffic noise and people talking, etc, and all of a sudden I thought "I'm sick of the noise!", turning off my podcast, came home ASAP, and just sat in the silence of an empty house and went 'Aaaaah'. :)
Sounds: The beat of a heart, the sound of rain on a tin roof, the chirping of sparrows on my roof in the morning, the sound of trees swaying in the breeze. The ticking of a clock, the sound of my kids laughing(laughing in general as well),
Smells: The damp smell in the air after a rain, I also can "smell" the changes in the season and love it! The smell of my kids after they have been sleeping, the smell of the lilacs and roses outside our window in the spring and summer. Flowers, the smell of a campfire, fresh cut lumber, freshly baked bread(I make this sometimes), coffee, red wine, almost ANYTHING cooking...lol and of course women...they smell so good :)

Probably a favourite sound of theirs! I get it. It's not a favourite sound of mine, in fact it makes me roll my eyes, but it IS pretty funny to hear them blathering on about what someone wore on a red carpet and passing that off as news when there's actually REAL news that's happened!
Favorite sounds: rain, ocean waves, and the sound of a flag blowing in the wind

:D yes, cheery children make Asmo rock back and forth in a little ball, in agony. Ditto, I'd imagine, for happily panting puppies and purring kittens. ;)
All sounds I enjoy, too!
I do not, however, enjoy it when I'm by a body of water (say, the lake) and a child starts screaming and hollering apparently for fun. I always look to see who's in trouble in the water and then when I realize they're merely screaming because their beachball got stolen or their icecream fell in the sand, I get grumpy.

I do not, however, enjoy it when I'm by a body of water (say, the lake) and a child starts screaming and hollering apparently for fun. I always look to see who's in trouble in the water and then when I realize they're merely screaming because their beachball got stolen or their icecream fell in the sand, I get grumpy. Boy who cried wolf, and all that. :P
Grab by legs and dip head-first in the drink until shuts up. >:(

Ditto, I'd imagine, for happily panting puppies and purring kittens. ;)
For dealing with those... See above. >:(
