The cheerful sounds of children at play had been present throughout.

It was a cheerful, unexpected sound, and made them all smile.

I had an idea George was depressed about something, and merely wondered if he could be making such a cheerful sound.

She cringed at the too cheerful sound of her voice.

But they didn't die, and the cheerful sound of their laughter cut him like knives.

In the silence, the cheerful small sounds of the summer's day crept through the closed window.

Rugs were spread around the fire, whose crackling made a very cheerful sound.

And they were cheerful sounds, with a note of defiance.

The chiming was all in the major, a cheerful sound.

In through those embrasures came not only air and light, but additional cheerful sounds.
