what does it sound like when doves cry?
"}Okay, here’s my actual answer to this question.
When doves cry, it’s mostly a kind of low, repetitive, sad sound. It almost sounds like “pock pock pock pock pock” but actually more like “chkchk chk chk chk chk chk chk” or “tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit” or “kockkockkockkook” (that last one is my favorite). It is a sound that you can’t ignore for long, and if you ignore it for long enough you will go crazy. You do not want to be around a sound like this for very long. But the sound is actually kind of comforting, too \u2013 not comforting in the way that “I’m so relieved I don’t have to think about that thing any more” is comforting, but just in general comforting. In some way the sound has to do with the dove being sad, and I can feel sad because I imagine the dove being sad. I can also imagine myself having “been to that place” and just not having the will to move on. And that makes me feel very safe, and that is something I really appreciate about the sound of doves crying.
Oh God, I just realized the reason that this is so difficult for me to type is that this is how I usually hear it, so every time I type it, my brain fills in with this sound, and I end up typing “ck”. So my apologies to the people whose response to this post is “what the fuck” as opposed to “awww that is so sad, I can imagine feeling sad too” or whatever.
