If you've not lived in a Muslim country: one of the most beautiful sounds is the gentle morning call to prayer... as if optimized to enter dreams without waking you. Let's hope it's a year of peace including freedom from the Mullahs that would try to make this religion a blueprint for political oppression instead of the liberation it has been for so many.

+1 on the morning call to prayer it's mesmerizing, especially fading in gently at dawn.

One of my favorite sounds too.

Ramadan Mubarak

may it be a month of peace and blessings for all.

To be clear, I'm glad it's not allowed where I live. But it's an experience
