If time made noise, what would it sound like?

Question

As we reflect on life, wouldn't you say that it sounds like a trickle while were young and grows into a roaring river as we grow older?

But, do we become deadened to the sound?

Answer 1

I agree that it gets louder with age...as we become more aware of it. We do become used to - and therefore ignore - the sound. As we go about our days, we get so caught up in the minutae of our lives that we forget what's really important - doing something good, and worth doing.

I think it's a soft humming sound, a beautiful one...

Answer 2

It doesn't matter because we all get used to every sound and eventually we wouldn't hear a thing. But I figure it wouldn't have a "sound" but a "voice", and it would go like: "10 years to death - 5 years to death - 24 hours to death- 5 minutes to death - 4, 3, 2.....Houston, we have a problem"

Answer 3

It would make a tick tock sound.

Just like everything else - violence, war, tragedy - we would become deadened to the sound.

Answer 4

I'd say it does the opposite...because by the time you're 80+ years old...you lose a lot of your life...and it trickles AWAY (ie. hearing / brain / bodily functions / immune system / etc.)

Answer 5

A hissing, like sand through an hourglass.

Answer 6

You answered your own question. I was thinking in much the same way because water gives life.

Answer 7

I think it would sound like a squeaky wheel.

Answer 8

We learn to adapt and so our ears hear what we must and not all the spam.

Answer 9

It would sound like this.

EEEEEeeeeeooooooooorrwhhhhh.... ploink. * crickets*

Answer 10

doesn't every sound involve time? isn't that what "frequency" is about?
