That door sound.

Yep - I would agree with this as well. For me it was back-packing and there was nothing like being the only one around for miles and unzipping the tent in the morning to things like below:

This past weekend it was the thump thump thump of our 7 year old coming up the steps (again) while he was playing outside. One of those sounds that's annoying at first but you then appreciate when you realize it will some day be gone.

Night rain tapping on the roof at night.

The roar of the furnace kicking on. It's not that I like it that much, but is a unique sound to RV's.

So.....You go camping alone?

The loud rumble of vehicles going over the wood decked iron truss bridge at our favorite campground, Winhall Brook. Winhall Brook is an Army Corp campground in South Londonderry Vermont. To access the South side of the campground, you come down a steep, narrow hill then make a sharp 90 degree turn across a 1 lane iron truss bridge with a wood deck that rumbles loudly, a very distinct sound.

There is a bridge like that over the spillway in Lake Junaluska, NC. Only for cars but it is a unique sound that can be heard for miles.

Quite a bit, yes.

Birds at 4am
Sound of toilet use at 4:05 am

Just heard a woman laughing hysterically while walking the Dogs.
Made me happy to hear it.

While camping last year, my wife and I kept hearing this one. To us, it sounded like the sound you get when you lose at one of those old time video games.
We finally identified it as a Veery.

Rain on the roof. Over the years, we've camped in tents, VW buses, pop-ups, and now the TT, and we love the sound of rain on all of them. (We live in Arizona, so the sound of rain is pretty much always welcome.)

I have ro agree, even though I don't like rain I enjoy listening to it while I am warm and dry in my trailer or tent.

The distinctive "click" of the refrigerator door.

X2 on the smell of coffee and add bacon frying on the Colemen stove.

I like the sound of my slides extending. Don't like the retracting, LOL

[stickywicket]

Smell of fresh mountain air and coffee brewing.

I just remembered a sound from my youth that I always associated with camping and leisure time. Does anyone remember those lounge chairs you could get that would click as you adjusted them? Yeah, that sound. The ratcheting sound of one of those chairs always meant we were camping, or fishing, or beach bumming. I can't believe I just thought of that! Brings back some fond memories!

For me its the sound of the quiet, early in the morning during that first cup of joe by the fire.
