Lying in bed because cba. I can hear DH moving around the kitchen. He is opening the fridge, and taking out something and unwrapping it. It sounds sort of wooden and hollow, like a guitar.

Now he is scrunching the wrappings, there seem to be a lot. Opening the cutlery drawer. Will they fit in there?

Outside all seems quiet but about three streets away someone is lobbing wine bottles from a first floor window into a wheelie bin.

I can hear the click click click if my son’s PS4 controller and the hum of the TV. There was a child crying outside but they’ve just stopped. Oh, and a ticking clock!

HerBigChance · 02/05/2020 15:51

Chaffinches and the odd car.

ParkheadParadise · 02/05/2020 15:52

I can hear
Hail Hail the celts are here
It's the ringtone from my mobile. I'm upstairs phone is downstairs. I can also hear dd telling her daddy what to do in the garden.

I'm sitting in my back garden and can hear (a lot of) birds singing, a dog barking and muted conversations from various neighbours homes.

My little girl cat washing herself.

Birds outside the window.
Dd1 tapping away on the laptop.
The finishing credits of Hotel Transylvania.

Dd1 blasting songs from various musicals in the shower
Boiler (dd in shower)

Birds in my trees/garden

Until two mins ago; dd2 talking an awful lot but she's gone upstairs so my brain gets some peace before tea time :)

Toddler shouting
Cars
Clocks

mencken · 02/05/2020 15:58

tweeting birds. The dishwasher working its miracle. Distant sounds of lawn mowing. Occasional traffic noise.

And miraculously no dog barking.

it is just glorious.

MarshaBradyo · 02/05/2020 15:58

Many birds I’m outside in the sunshine
A few muted cars
My dc playing

That’s it

Bairnsmum05 · 02/05/2020 15:58

Birds, a car driving past, next door gardening, lawn mower in the distance and children down the street playing.

bruffin · 02/05/2020 15:58

Dd talking to the cats and someone online could be dh who is upstairs about a cup of tea.
Ps4 game playing music
Ds chating about his new smart watch and dogs barking next door

Neighneigh · 02/05/2020 15:59

My stupid neighbours sanding their next stupid project. And a ticking clock

TrickyKid · 02/05/2020 16:00

Birds and the lawn mower. The odd car going past.

tryinganotherusername · 02/05/2020 16:00

Dd making TikTok videos. Buzzy insect trying to get out the window.

Sausagis · 02/05/2020 16:00

DD looking for her school iPad. I think she just looked in the loo?!

midlifecrash · 02/05/2020 16:00

Sound of clink of metal on metal in the hall. Is it our brass Benares gong, lightly struck? (we do not have a brass Benares gong). Or has he taken the cutlery drawer there?

Birdsong
Snoring cat
DD restlessly pottering

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 02/05/2020 16:03

All I can hear is the neighbour shouting at her kids.
"Stop fucking about or smack your fucking arse"
That's pretty tame compared to usual. My daughter has her headphones on so she can't hear it thankfully.

eddiemairswife · 02/05/2020 16:06

Birds, cat breathing, gas fire hissing, stomach gurgling.

bettybattenburg · 02/05/2020 16:07

Birds singing, birds on the bird feeder eating seeds, the leaves on the trees resting and a bee buzzing.

Apolloanddaphne · 02/05/2020 16:09

Birds cooing and cheeping away. Nothing else.

midlifecrash · 02/05/2020 16:09

Ah, grating cheese
More cheese
A bowl from the rack
Opening cupboard under sink, scraping bowl...
Fridge
? Ironing board (we don't have one)
Egg cracked, beating egg
Pause
Tin from cupboard
tap running
spoon clink. Eating raw egg and cheese with spoon?

I'm in the garden, can hear birds singing loudly, dd running up and down shrieking and both ds inside chatting.

getdownonit · 02/05/2020 16:13

Sounds like a cement mixer going next door or maybe the mower going wrong again.....
