Morning Routine Sound Verbs

Sound verbs help us describe everyday noises, making our language more vivid and natural. Morning routines are full of sounds—let’s learn how to express them!

For example, we say, “The alarm is ringing,” because “ring” describes the sharp, repetitive sound an alarm makes. Similarly, “The toothbrush is buzzing” captures the electric sound of a toothbrush in motion.

When making coffee, we can say, “The coffee is pouring into the cup,” as “pour” describes a steady liquid flow. Likewise, “The toast is popping out of the toaster” because “pop” represents a sudden movement with sound. Finally, “The hairdryer is blowing” refers to the steady rush of air it produces.
