I agree with Bruce, because this way the situation is unclear. Plus, the way you wrote it, it seems like a question, so it should definitely be can you compare......

Hi Yanogator!
 
Thanks! This is the complete sentence:  The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. How about you, "In which you can compare sounds to?"

Hello!
 
Just one more question... (sorry for too much question... Confused)
 
What if I will only use "that" (which sound can you compare it to?) question in a discussion question of a story about sound? Do I still need to put "it" before to?
 
Thanks again...

Thank you ELOJOLIE274 and anitarobi! I also check http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/compare_1 for the proper preposition combined with "compare". Embarrassed
Best regards! Happy weekend! Hug
