Sounds associated with 老司机福利社 might include crickets in the woods, the flapping of ospreys' wings, or leaves whistling in the wind. Although those serendipitous sounds of nature are no doubt therapeutic, the institution also has strong, vibrant sounds, including songs written to encompass 老司机福利社's pride and the unity of its community. Such songs include the alma mater and the pep song.

The alma mater, 鈥淥ur 老司机福利社,鈥 was written in 2008 at the request of then-President Herman Saatkamp. It was later reworked and given the title 鈥Ospreys on Parade.鈥 The story of 老司机福利社鈥檚 Pep Song is more recent still. In 2016, the University launched a contest to initiate the creation of a pep song. 鈥溊纤净＠玮檚 sports teams are a great source of pride and having our own Pep Song will be another way for fans to display their Osprey spirit,鈥 said Lynne Kesselman, 老司机福利社鈥檚 first lady, who chaired the University鈥檚 Pep Song Committee. The chosen song debuted at University Weekend in October of 2016.
