Eh,
What’s That Sound? “Eh,” a casual exclamation that seems to be uniquely Canadian. It’s often used as a filler word, an unsure inquiry, or even a way of showing mild exasperation. But today, let’s explore a more literal interpretation of this three-letter word - what sounds elicits the response of a simple “eh”? As I sit in my backyard, soaking up the last bit of summer sun, I’m surrounded by a symphony of sounds. The rustle of leaves in the breeze, the distant hum of a lawnmower, the chirping of birds.

But there are a few sounds that stand out as particularly Canadian examples of “eh”-inducing noises. Firstly, there’s the sound of a loon call, echoing over a still lake. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about this sound, and it’s no surprise that it’s become a beloved symbol of Canadian wilderness and tranquility. Even if you’ve never heard a loon call in person, chances are you’ve heard a recording of it in some nature documentary or tourist commercial. Another sound that could make a Canadian say “eh” is the distinctive honk of a Canadian goose. These large, loud birds are often seen flying in V-formation across the sky during the fall migration. While they may be considered a nuisance by some due to their droppings and territorial nature, there’s no denying the impressive sight and sound of a flock of geese overhead. Lastly, we can’t forget the sound of a hockey game. The scraping of skates on ice, the thwack of a stick hitting a puck, the roar of the crowd when a goal is scored. For many Canadians, this is the quintessential sound of winter and national pride. Of course, these are just a few examples of sounds that could elicit an “eh” from a Canadian. From the gentle lapping of waves on a shore to the clanging of cowbells at a summer fair, there are endless sounds that make up the patchwork of our country’s auditory landscape. So next time you hear something that makes you pause and say “eh,” take a moment to appreciate the unique sonic tapestry that surrounds us all.
