I've always LOVED that word! It's what you might consider onomatopoeia!

Oh I love that word! It seems to be so descriptive. I remember first using it when I was about 12 years old and used it to describe the loud sounds of nearby church bells.

Thank you, Wil! I feel fortunate that I was able to capture the tree's full blossoming. I like your description of cascading!

It could drive you nuts if you are here during the festival of Diwali, and the noise exceeds very high decibels and cacophony levels too!!

you could be right! but maybe if I were involved in the sound making, it might not.
