As for Smith, wouldn't such a sound just make his day?

The sound of it made me feel a little better.

A sound on the other side of the window made me jump up.

At that moment the sound of an opening door made him turn his head.

He was about to step into the house when the sound of his name made him stop.

The sound, more than anything, made him want to turn back.

The very sound of his voice made her feel better.

Just the sound of a human voice made him feel better.

The sound of her voice made me start with surprise.

The sound made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
