Sounds writers notice
Places where people tend to raise or lower their voices, especially when certain people do the opposite of what you'd expect them to do in those places.
The cacophony of pops, whistles, clicks and animal paces that move through forests where most people would go because they think it's going to be quiet.
The difference between a dog barking because someone rang the doorbell vs. a dog barking because it's lonely and wants attention.
The difference between wind blowing through an evergreen tree and a deciduous tree.
The difference between urban and rural traffic.
A stifled sneeze compared to a sneeze that releases a lot of energy.
Conversations at a counter in a diner full of locals.
Laughter on a playground.
(You'll think of many more as you read these.)
