...that you do not hear anymore. 

I saw this question on Facebook and found it interesting.

I miss hearing church bells.  They were so comforting as a child.

The lawnmower.    I grew up in the suburbs but lived in cities all my adult life, so I also miss the absence of sounds quite a bit.

Sonic booms and air raid sirens

Typewriter key strokes and the sound of the return to a new line.

Church bells, sounds of horses shuffling up around the barn on the hill, coyotes in the pasture, hay bales hitting the ground, tractors and combines running,  clanking of chains hitting the tailgates of big grain trucks, George teasing me when he filled up the car, Uncle saying "Get on in here!" at the front door. . . so many!

The sound of a bell when a door opened to let the cashier know a person entered a store. The sound of a cashier actually punching in numbers at a cashier box instead of using a scanner at a grocery store. The sound of a rotary phone being dialed.

My maternal grandmother’s voice.

@Mersha    I rarely hear the church bells that I heard as a kid.  I also miss the sound of trains on the tracks that ran along the river nearby....

Ring-neck pheasants in the cornfield next to our house. Cornfield is gone and pheasants are gone.

Train whistle in the distance and the deck of the wooden bridge near my home. They tore out the wood deck and replaced it with metal.
