Tinnitus, baby snuffly sleep breathing, husband watching a football match so the annoying fake crowd noise and commentary

LadyCatStark · 06/04/2021 21:47

@Sparklingbrook

The pretend crowd noise on the LFC match and DS1 and DH wittering on about the playing. Angry
Same 🙄

Tinnitus is alive and well on MN tonight 🤦‍♀️ Mine is louder than usual due to suddenly thinking about it 🤣

I can also hear 'rain on tin roof' noise (courtesy of Alexa) which I'm hoping will shut out the tinnitus 🤷‍♀️

SionnachGlic · 06/04/2021 21:47

Noise outside
Dog paws on hall floor going to investigate
Dishwater
Tv...rubbish movie but too tired to care
Bath water running...before bedtime

Tinnitus, one of my cats purring whilst he gets comfortable on the bed, a low electrical noise from outside, the occasional car driving by and talking from outside.

Bugger all, but I'm hard of hearing and I've taken my aids out. There is pleasure to be had, even in the misfortune of losing your hearing

Superstardjs · 06/04/2021 21:50

Also my tinnitus. And jazz on the radio.

Albern · 06/04/2021 21:50

TV on downstairs, Dh trying to find something to watch and occasional shouts of disappointment from upstairs from ds1 who is watching the liverpool match .

Honeyroar · 06/04/2021 21:53

Cat purring loudly in my ear (she’s sitting on the arm of my chair).
Dog wuffing quietly in his sleep.
Tv programme I’m watching in the background.

Saz12 · 06/04/2021 21:56

Xioxang, I feel your pain!

halfpasteleven · 06/04/2021 22:00

My DD softly breathing as she sleeps in her cot beside my bed.

Nothing else at all...

Bouledeneige · 06/04/2021 22:01

Just the TV and maybe a low hum from the heating.

bloodywhitecat · 06/04/2021 22:03

A Little owl.

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 06/04/2021 22:05

Crickets from my alexa and my cat snoring under my blanket.

Sacreblue · 06/04/2021 22:06

Kids climbing back down the scaffolding of the empty office block next door, some any way, I can still lights in the rest of the building flicking through the rooms so maybe half have got bored and gone home 😂

Serena1977 · 06/04/2021 22:11

Huw Edwards
The dishwasher draining
Central heating humming

TheDogsMother · 06/04/2021 22:12

Huw Edwards
Log burner crackling

Alternista · 06/04/2021 22:13

The boiler kicking in
The dog occasionally huffing.

That’s it. Glorious silence otherwise 😁

NearlyTheHolidays2 · 06/04/2021 22:15

Worship songs
Clock ticking

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 06/04/2021 22:16

Partner clicking through the menu on the switch
Kettle boiling in the kitchen
Static from the baby monitor
My own heartbeat

@Pinkpowderpuff

Oh, and tinnitus.....!
Tinnitus too here! TV, fridge, light timer clicking and occasional car.
dubyalass · 06/04/2021 22:20

The air ambulance landing at the hospital :(

Apart from that, a bit of wind but otherwise quiet.

noblegreenk · 06/04/2021 22:21

The TV, my husband sneezing downstairs, my dog breathing heavily in my lap and the sound of my thumbs typing.

echt · 06/04/2021 22:22

Australian magpies gurgling and carolling.
Rainbow lorikeets squawking.
Sulphur-crested cockatoo just gone over, screeching.

It's autumn, so they're all gearing up for nesting; claiming territory.
