The Cowes ferry.

Ok Looks like that subject has exhausted itself.

Here is a new clue.

Abstract. Urban myth says you won't hear this twice. But it is a myth.

bump

I'm here Mr WB - not sure where to begin with this one lol

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 17:30:31

There is a clue in my post regarding where to start. But you don't seem to have spotted it by the sound of it.

Elegran Wed 09-Nov-16 17:52:43

The final trump?

Linsco56 Wed 09-Nov-16 18:17:54

Sonic boom?

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 18:33:33

OK, you have correctly decided that it is a sound.

A sonic boom -- no
A Trump, now I wish I had thought of that one, but no, however there is a slight similarity.

Can't be a gunshot - I believe that if the bullet hits you and kills you, you don't hear the sound once let alone twice.

Brown note?

Elegran Wed 09-Nov-16 18:39:26

Can't be The Mating-call of the Racket Tailed Drongo. That is a book.

Ana Wed 09-Nov-16 18:41:06

Can't be lightning striking twice as I don't think it makes any sound at all (certainly nothing trump-like! grin)

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 18:46:26

Not sure what a brown note is, but no

The mating call etc etc, you joke, but you are amazingly close.

Brown note is a frequency said to make humans lose control of their bowels!

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 19:06:50

LOL, the circumstances under which I recently hear this sound could have caused me to wet myself.

br0adwater Wed 09-Nov-16 19:07:44

Birdsong?

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 19:08:48

Birdsong yes, although song may be pushing it a bit.

Wobblybits Wed 09-Nov-16 19:14:38

Think we're losing sight of the urban myth aspect now! grin
