Favourite noise whilst cycling

[Nomadski]

For me, its the rolling sound of the wheels on absolutely perfect recently laid down road.

It happens so rarely I can't remember what it sounds like. But it was nice.

a wolf whistle

 

[mythste]

the smooth sound of my drivetrain from when I switch from a horrible cross-chained gear to the "right" one.

Always learning.

The machine gun click of a Hope hub on freewheel.

 

[Smurfy]

The buzz of my own tyres without any wind noise, as that means I've got a tail wind.

The machine gun click of a Hope hub on freewheel.

That, underscored by the slight rubbing of disc brakes as my commuter gently closes on the back of a roadie giving it his all.

Of course, this requires a slight downhill gradient, and a long run up, and holding one's breath to downplay the effort involved, but its oh so worth it to gain a standing ovation from the front.

The air rushing past my ears is always therapeutic

 

[Bicykell]

Around about 18 mph there's a hum from the wheels which resonates with the frame. It's still there until about 22. It's like transcendental and that eh......

 

[Full Metal Sprocket]

The screech of my brakes recently seems to get some attention of my new three spoke front wheel.....

 

[RichK]

another vote for silence/birdsong from me

 

[slowmotion]

Slightly less noisy hyperventilation than the last time I attempted the same hill.

Can't decide between the sound of birds chirping or the sound of sticks breaking when you ride over them

 

[Fnaar]

the sound of sticks breaking when you ride over them

I did that once, only for it to be closely followed by the sound of my derailleur ripping into my spokes

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

I like it when the grunting stops.

I love the sound of my wheels when corning pretty tightly then getting on the gas.
I love the sound of the morning, sounds pretty much of nothing round here early doors.
I love the sound of the 'click click clack, as you drop it down a gear.
I love the sound of my back gate as it closes after a ride - means it's play time with Mini-me.
