The sound of sirens during the war and after the drone of light aircraft, we lived near a small airport. The theme tune of Dick Barton, special agent.

Mum shouting teas ready.

The lack of sound in a 1950's Glasgow home when the Fog had come down.

Distant churchbells, cuckoo, cows mooing, scarey clanks from the hot water tank cupboard in my bedrrom

listening to Family Favourites on the wireless on a Sunday morning.
The fishmonger coming round in his van shouting, " Herring, fresh herring, all this morning's killing "

My mother singing: On the Island of Capri. She loved it and would sing a long on the radio.

Sing something simple on a Sunday evening.
Gloom descending as it meant school the next day.

My dad whistling as he worked, sadly, you rarely hear anyone whistle nowadays

Nothing as concrete as the answers already given.

My memories are more linked to my senses. Smells, sounds and emotions all trigger memories, some good, some that upset me.
