About these home & everyday
Homes are full of sounds we hardly notice until they are missing. This board collects them: a loud ringing bell and a gentle dinner bell, three telephones from modern to very old, a steady ticking clock and a quick tick-tock, a slammed door and a closed one, footsteps on stone and squelchy wet cartoon footsteps, and a short, bright whistle.
These sounds are perfect for pretend play. Ring the phone to start a pretend call, tick the clock during a quiz, slam the door for a dramatic exit, or ring the bell to call everyone to dinner. Little kids love guessing what each sound is. Every button plays instantly, and each sound has its own page with a share link.
Questions
Is there an old telephone ringing sound?
Yes. Old phone is a vintage telephone with a real metal bell, and Rotary phone is an old dial phone ringing with its bell switched off, so it sounds like a soft clatter.
Which sound is good for a quiz countdown?
Clock ticking runs for a few seconds, which is long enough for someone to think of an answer. Tick tock is a quick "hurry up".
