You saved your money like that instead of blowing it on beer and trinkets to send to your folks, who had no need of conch shells that carried home the sound of the soughing sea.

Because these scenes sometimes brushed against beauty—the sycamores tall and soughing, the dove eaten under flowering plum trees—and because her novels won prizes, notably the Nobel in 1993, critics tended to call them lyrical and poetic.

Sometimes, when we sit on a trailside boulder and listen to the winds soughing in the trees, I can almost pretend that I've brought her back to Grindstone, the place I had always assumed I would raise my own family.

At noon the sun never settles above the gorge. Hungry spittle flies where the gorge is dangerous, Trees lock their roots around rotten coffins, Rising skeletal and up-right swinging back and forth. As the frost perches, the branches of the trees moan, Soughing mournfully, far off, yet clear. A spurned exile's stripped and scattered guts Sizzle and scald where the water boils up.

People who are more poetic than me lie on their pillows, listening to the soughing of the wind in the pines from the forest, or the roaring of the crashing waves of the sea. For me myself, I have to hear the tram ringing to fall sleep … The apartment is the most ideal place to escape. People who are tired of the metropolis often long to retreat to the tranquil and peaceful countryside.

Breathy voice (also called murmured voice, whispery voice, soughing and susurration) is a phonation in which the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape which produces a sighing-like sound. A simple breathy phonation, (not actually a fricative consonant, as a literal reading of the IPA chart would suggest), can sometimes be heard as an allophone of English between vowels, such as in the word behind, for some speakers. In the context of the Indo-Aryan languages like Sanskrit and Hindi and comparative Indo-European studies, breathy consonants are often called voiced aspirated, as in the Hindi and Sanskrit stops normally denoted bh, dh, ḍh, jh, and gh and the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European phoneme gʷʰ. , as breathy voice is a different type of phonation from aspiration.
