Water is Groan
Water is the sound of "groan" - the determination of the river moving on to the sea. Nothing really gets in its way and nothing can really stop it, it moves steadily on to its destination. It can move from a very excited to slightly boring energy but always constant. Sometimes it drops like a waterfall and continues on it way again. As thought they are trying to stay calm in a dangerous situation.

Diagnosis by Sound
Wood is Shout
We think of the assertion of Wood, the energy that pushes forward, bringing and creating new things. Shout has a lot of energy at the beginning of a word and at the end the word it dies out. Wood people will always have this quality of Shout in their voice even when they are speaking quietly or gently. When they are excited it can sounds as though they are actually shouting at you. There is also Lack of Shout where there is not enough energy for the word to leave the persons mouth.

Fire is Laugh
Fire holds the emotions of sadness and joy, so the sound of Fire is a lack or excess of this energy. A Fire person may sound excited or that they are about to get to the punch line of a joke. The sound a Fire will encourage you to have is a smile in your voice or be on the edge of laughter yourself. Lack of Fire is a sad drone, nearly a "lack of laugh" in the voice.
