Next door to the left drilling something into the adjoining wall, next door to the right smashing flags in the front garden, stepson upstairs screaming at his computer game.

It's not the ideal working atmosphere today if I'm honest 😂😂😂😂

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/04/2021 11:30

The clock on the mantelpiece. The distant hum of the fan oven from the kitchen (I'm roasting aubergine for later). An occasional car passing outside. Enjoying the silence.

Tinnitus

Ikora · 07/04/2021 12:24

Major building work happening next door. I have surprisingly got used to it. A month so far, my neighbour on the other side is not coping with the noise levels. I bumped in to her outside and we went for a walk. It will be another month at least.

I can hear ndn stupid music that has been playing since 8am, because I asked her to turn it down she whacked it up and had ronan keating on loop, been listening to her shite for a year. The other side I think are tunnelling their way to Australia, there's been a digger in there for 2 months now.

The Witches on t.v, youngest constantly asking questions about it instead of fricking watching it!

Pinkpowderpuff · 07/04/2021 12:32

Flowers to everyone with tinnitus on here. I'm in that club too unfortunately but at least it's not the only thing we can hear!

Tinnitus......a busy rain forest in my head, the sound of me munching an apple and dogs barking every time a sparrow farts 2 miles away.

Seeingadistance · 07/04/2021 14:17

Wee birds chirping outside window. A cooshy doo a bit further away.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 07/04/2021 14:20

DDs arguing over an Easter egg ... they're 20 years old Hmm.
Yep, not a typo, 20!

The dehumidifier that's been in place all week since a bathroom leak brought the kitchen ceiling down 😢

SedentaryCat · 07/04/2021 14:27

Seagulls arguing.

'Perfectly normal' I hear you say. It would be if I didn't live 80 miles from the sea!

Lazierdays · 07/04/2021 14:29

Sat in my garden:
Birds tweeting, robin I think.
Shelia Fogarty on LBC radio.
A distant plane in the sky.

LeeluTheNarwhal · 07/04/2021 14:36

DD playing Minecraft and the dog licking himself. It's silent outside, not even a car going past or any bird sounds.

Washer
He man masters of the universe, I've been taking a trip down memory lane with grandaughter 4 1/2 cuddled up on the sofa not feeling well.
Faint sound of somebody cutting grass

Frownette · 07/04/2021 14:57

A few cars.

I think all of us have a low level humming in ears from technology? You don't notice it normally as we're so accustomed to it

roguetomato · 07/04/2021 15:12

Bird chirping in the garden. Fridge. Music from dc playing video game.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 07/04/2021 16:52

Washing machine rinsing
DS jabbering
Raging tinnitus

BrownEyedGirl80 · 07/04/2021 16:54

Ds 7 playing

FranklySonImTheGaffer · 07/04/2021 16:56

Some birds chirping nicely to each other (making a lovely difference to the crow battle we had this morning)!
DH moving rubbish from the back garden to the front
Neighbours DS scooting out the front

troppibambini6 · 07/04/2021 16:59

Ds shouting at a game he's playing on the iPad, the tumble drier, dishwasher and dd and her friend baking a carrot cake.

SpringtimeSummertime · 07/04/2021 17:15

DH sniffing. Drives me mad.

cliffdiver · 07/04/2021 17:19

DH and DDs playing in the playroom.

Hobs and air fryer.

Deathraystare · 07/04/2021 17:21

Surprisingly at the moment only the a/c. Normally something is kicking off in the Mental Health Unit!
