All around him the gentle sounds of evening crept into the air.

He knew the patient, gentle sound of her voice meant trouble.

There was a gentle sound like a ship knocking against a dock.

A gentle scratching sound was heard on the door.

Soon there was the gentler sound of ivy being yanked up.

For an instant he heard the song, a gentle, melodious sound of love.

The door closed and the room fell silent except for the gentle sound of spring rain.

Richard could hear the gentle sound of water running through mossy rock.

The gentle sound of pattering water was all that emerged.

I heard a gentle sound of movement, and then all was silent once more, though the smell grew stronger.
