11.   The only sound in the room was the continued throb of rock music from the flat above.

12.   The only sound now was their feet rustling through the shore grass, coarse and hard from countless tides of salt water.

13.   The only sound to be heard was the twittering of the birds above us.

14.   The only sound to break the silence of the night was the soft mutter of my engine.

15.   The only sound was the creak of a sign swinging in the wind.

16.   The only sound was the crunch of their feet on the crusted snow.

17.   The only sound was the crackle of breaking ice.

18.   The only sound was the lapping of the waves.

19.   The only sounds were the distant, melancholy cries of the sheep.
