2.   The sound of traffic rose from the street below.

3.   It was as if the sounds were rising and falling with a supernatural air current.

4.   As they stumbled lower one sound rose up to meet them.

5.   A great chittering sound had risen to fill the room.

7.   Summer concert season is here, and a familiar sound is rising up from amphitheaters and arenas across the land.
