Daily Zohar 4275
Hebrew translation:
223. שָׂמַח רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן וְאָמַר, אִלְמָלֵא לֹא זָכִיתִי לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶלָּא דָּבָר זֶה – דַּי לִי לִהְיוֹת שָׂמֵחַ שֶׁזָּכִיתִי לִשְׁמֹעַ דְּבַר אֱמֶת שֶׁל אוֹתוֹ עוֹלָם. אָמַר לוֹ, אִי חָסִיד קָדוֹשׁ, אִלְמָלֵא יָדַעְתָּ חֶדְוַת דִּבְרֵי אוֹתוֹ עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי רֹאשׁ הַיְשִׁיבָה, תִּשְׂמַח יוֹתֵר.

Zohar Shelach Lecha
Continued from previous DZ
#222
When a person makes a sound, that sound of the animal or the soul leaving the body is immediately awakened by the other voice that is not permitted to prolong it longer, but as much as the sound that the person evoked, and no more. And if the person extends his voice, the sound that is awakened by it does not prolong that much with him but awakened to the end of the voice because it cannot prolong the voice more than the first voice. The point of it is that when the sound comes out at the beginning, it will be extended from one end of the world to the other end of the world, and now that the sound has entered there, it cannot prolong the voice, because it has no place to spread there as at the beginning.

#223
Rabbi Shimon was happy and said, if I didn’t get to hear just this thing, it would be enough for me to be happy that I got to hear true words of the other world. You would have been happier if you had known the joy of these words in that world before the head of the Yeshiva.
Lesson;
The three unique sounds mentioned in #217 above have a particular impact on the world. The sound of a woman giving birth is the aspect of bringing new life to the world. The sound of a soul leaving the body is the aspect of the end of life in this world. And the sound of the Snake that terminates life.
The three sounds connect to the beginning of Creation and our tikun process. The Snake was punished to roam the earth and hate men (Genesis 3:15). He can kill a person when commanded. Hashem ‘punished’ the woman to bring life to the world with pain to correct the loss of immortality they had in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:16). The man was punished with work to earn his ‘bread’ (Light/Life) and die “For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:19).
