If you’re traveling on or under a slope with snow and you hear a deep whumping sound, get the heck out immediately.

Crackling of a tree branch or trunk.

The sound of a freight train or jet engine nearby if you’re in the middle of nowhere, like deep in the woods. It’s a tornado.

If you’re in the wild and there’s suddenly an immediate silence.

Someone you know speaking really weird gibberish, making no sense, and looking confused could be a stroke. Or could be an Auburn fan.

Fire alarm. You’d be surprised how many people don’t do anything when it goes off.

If you have children, the sound of silence usually means they are up to no good.

Also, the sound of a plastic stool or chair being dragged across the floor means trouble.

AN OOPS from the dentist or doctor.

And finally, when your mom or wife yells your WHOLE name.
