She held her hand over the phone so the sound would not carry.
Another sound carried across the water from the other side of the bay.
The sound had carried better than nine miles through the still morning air.
Sound carries far on a still night in the country.
Sound could never carry through those many feet of stone.
Still at some distance, but the sound carried far in the clear air.
The sound might have carried a good distance in the cold air.
On a night like tonight, even the small sounds carried.
Remember that sound carries more over water than on land.
Sound would carry well on a night like this, cold and with no wind now.
