Sounds of Norway
When I read the first topic: Sound, I thought of the sound waves. It is amazing to see the beautiful different sound
Rhythm of rain
When it starts to rain, there is the smell of soft soil and the sound of bumping into the ground.I think it is like a peaceful lullaby if the sound of falling the rain at night sounds quietly. And when I feel depressed or sad, it feels like blues.

Sound Waves

Sounds of rain

Making speech visible
