The villagers lift rocks for exercise.... In one they are inbetween flowers and the temple..... 2 i think up by the gong(?)

I always associated the whosh with the research table. You know, like an experiment with bunsen burners or something. It also seems to happen as I navigate to that area (5) as if now that I can see it I can hear the sounds in that area, too. Maybe just a coincidence.

One thing I find funny is when that kissing sound occurs about the same time as I pick a villager up and he (or she) says "huh?" or "oh!" And also when there's a kissing sound and then a villager is shaking their head somewhere saying "No" or "Uh, uh."
Cracks me up everytime.

hey there...I'm new to this forum and thought I would put in my 2 cents worth. Everytime I hear that whoosh sound I find either a mushroom or a collectable. It never fails. I use it to help build up my tech points and food faster.

I have a very faint whisteling guy too somewhere,,I'ts kinda creepy really!! lol

The other one I keep hearing is an owl up by the gong and the graveyard area....

no one has mentioned the cicada-like sound. I don't know if it correlates to a _bug_ collectible appearing or not.

i keep hearing wind chimes ... any ideas???

ivory, just read page 2 of this thread , there is a couple posts about the wind chimes.

honestly, i don't think the sounds are indicative of an item appearing. Ever notice that when you go by the research table, you hear the sounds of a chemistry set and clanking dishes? Or when you go by the pong, you hear a splashing sound? Frankly, I just think the sounds are there for effect or to correspond to what area of the map you are in.

It doesn't. lol I've heard it LONG before I've been able to collect bugs.

When I have my game in windowed mode, and pull up the forums, when I go back to the game, sometimes one sound is a LOT louder that the others. When it's the cicada, it's REALLLLLLY irritating! lolol
