We've all heard of swollen feet during pregnancy — a not-so-surprising side effect considering they're supporting all that extra weight — but your feet are not the only body parts that can retain fluid while you're expecting.

A baby's gurgle? Your child's voice? For Brad Pitt, the answer is the sound of his children sleeping — and he's not talking about the quiet he hears when his kids are finally asleep, but the sounds of their rhythmic breathing.

When the audience of acting students gave a collective sigh at his answer, Pitt responded that they'd understand when they became parents.

Do you agree? What's the best sound of your day?
