I lost interest in firearms because we had a dog that was scared to death of the sound of a rifle shot.

It's sometimes better to pretend I don't hear the sound of somebody in the nearby woods with a shotgun.

I don't know what silence sounds like anymore.

I shot with it a lot. I still do now. That is why I am hard of hearing.

Silence is so accurate.

I've got that nice raspy sound.

I feel like soundtrack music is almost like seeing the movie again, but with my ears.

When you hear that howl alone at night in the forest, it's one of the most frightening sounds you'll ever hear.

Standing at my door, I heard the discharge of a gun, and in four or five seconds of time, after the discharge, the small shot came rattling about me, one or two of which struck the house; which plainly demonstrates that the velocity of sound is greater than that of a cannon bullet.

We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck's sense of hearing must be injured: for him the 'ear trumpet' magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before.
