PM listeners' sounds: Kulning

PM

Available for over a year

Steve Lyons sent this recording of his wife Rosa Rebecka making a traditional Swedish cow call. He writes: "My favourite sound is my wife's voice. It helps that she's a professional singer and singing teacher but my favourite sound is something she does called 'kulning' which is a kind of traditional Swedish cow call designed to bring cattle in off the pastures. It's loud and shrill and not exactly restful, but there's a lovely little 'yer-ick' noise right at the end that is just delightful. I particularly like it when she unleashes it on an unsuspecting audience."
