There is a belief that the seven ‘swaras’ in the Hindustani Music were conceived from the sounds of the nature.
Interestingly in the swaras Sa, Ma and Pa are sounds made by birds whereas Re, Ga, Dha and Ni are sounds made by animals.

Shadaja (Sa); the rapturous sound of the peacock when rain clouds gather in the sky.
Rishabha (Re); the bellowing of a cow when her calf is separated from her.
Gandhara (Ga); the bleating of a goat in a flock.
Madhyama (Ma); the cry of a heron.
Panchama (Pa); the sound of the Indian Kokila (nightingale) in spring.
Dhaivata (Dha); the neighing of a horse.
Nishada (Ni); the trumpeting of an elephant.
