We're in the garden with nice cold drinks.

We can hear the traffic and occasional sirens - we're on a main road and near all the emergency services.

Ds2 is wittering away, in the house.

Dishwasher draining behind me.

The local rook family is being very vocal.

And on either side, there are chattering, scratching and squeaky sounds. A bit like demadogs 😱

The sea. The curtains blowing. The wind outside.
Having listened to (and tended to!) my 8 month old, who’s spent the evening crying because he’s exhausted and far too hot, this is bliss.

The stream at the bottom of the field gurgling. At least there is still some water in it !

I live in city centre, at the back of a Chinese restaurant and car park....

deliveroo rider on the phone saying "hello deliveroo, can you come down please?"

A big extended family speaking Chinese and saying goodbyes

The restaurant chucking out their glass recycling into the street bin

My fly curtain flapping about

Two boy racer car exhausts zooming around somewhere in the distance

... It doesn't sound like it, but it's actually super relaxing

bruce43mydog · 19/07/2022 00:11

I can hear the fan, my elderly dog grumbling, my sister snoring & a program about spitfire planes

DinosaursEatMan · 19/07/2022 00:16

I’m in the garden trying to cool off. There’s an owl, distant traffic and what sounded like a cat colliding with a shed. It’s just walked past me looking as though nothing happened, so I suspect I’m correct.

Sheep, one with a very deep Baaaaaarry White style baaaaaaa

The fan

TheOnlyAletheia · 19/07/2022 00:22

Rollercoasters, loud Jurassic Park music, screaming and lots of conversation!

sanityisamyth · 19/07/2022 00:23

My iPad.

Workyticket · 19/07/2022 00:24

Dh snoring like a train. His head has been on the pillow for less than 2 minutes - he's the quickest sleeper known to man!

🤣 yes - waiting for my DS’ to come off the Velocicoaster 🤢

AmandaBuffamonteezii · 19/07/2022 00:32

@TheOnlyAletheia super jealous! Can't wait to go on that new coaster when we go back next October!

Enjoy!!

TheOnlyAletheia · 19/07/2022 00:35

Ooh October is my favourite time to come! Quieter and better weather! Have fun!

AngeloMysterioso · 19/07/2022 00:36

DH snores like a feckin walrus so I have to use ear plugs which render me deaf to pretty much everything, so all I can hear is the constant ringing of my tinnitus.

Iamthewalnut · 19/07/2022 00:38

My husband's gaming laptop - the fans are whirring so loudly it sounds as though it's about to take flight.

IdisagreeMrHochhauser · 19/07/2022 00:39

A dog barking in the distance.

LikeADogWithABone · 19/07/2022 00:46

A car driving in the distance, an occasional dog bark also in the distance and the clutter clatter of some bug crashing into my light.

It's basically lovely and quiet.

I live in an area where people are mostly considerate. I can't stand having to listen to other peoples awful music

DuckBilledPlattyJoobs · 19/07/2022 00:47

Tinnitus

MrsAvocet · 19/07/2022 00:55

Tinnitus for me too.

AuntTwacky · 19/07/2022 01:05

Heavy breathing

My ceiling fan at warp speed.
