Don't you love how certain sounds can trigger old memories and immediately put a smile on your face? A new poll found it happens to us about twice a week on average and 1 in 10 people said it happens every day. Here are the top 10 sounds that can trigger a happy memory from OnePoll:

1. An old song you love. Especially if you haven't heard it in a long time. (Like the ones you hear on Mix 105.1 and you know, you can listen RIGHT NOW with my link below. You're welcome!)


2. Waves crashing on the beach

3. Birds chirping

4. A crackling fireplace

5. Walking on fresh snow

6. A waterfall

7. A cat purring

8. Trees blowing in the wind

9. The sound of rain

10. Leaves rustling, because it reminds us of Fall.

A few more from the top 20 include:

Church bells, bees, thunder, kids having fun and the radio playing in the background made the list at #18.
