Suddenly, below the awful roar of the wind along the towering ridge, he heard another sound -faint, but definite.

Then he heard something, a definite sound this time, maybe a foot crunching on dry stone and ash.

Yet there was definite sound and movement, as the act progressed.

Derian thought that he had heard a sound-a very faint sound, but a definite sound.

Dominating everything - the only definite sound - was the sound of the water.

Not the catflap, a sharper more definite sound.

From the outer wall came the faint but definite sound of fighting.

There were definite sounds coming from the other side of the barricade.

A moment later came definite sounds of disturbed underbrush not too far distant - immediately followed by an outraged cry from a female throat!

It might have been an abandoned building if it weren't for the definite sounds of conversation and laughter issuing forth from within.
