What outside noise can you hear right now?

What noises can you from either outside or from your neighbours? So not noises that are being made from from your own family.

I have just heard the air ambulance go over (I live 2 miles from base), I can hear what sounds like somebody shoveling gravel and also my neighbour banging around in his kitchen (he is incapable of doing anything without making a racket!)

There’s a small plane flying overhead, otherwise very peaceful here.

Next door's yappy little dog every 20 mins or so.
Who lets their dog run in and out yapping all the time, grr?

WillowintheUK · 19/02/2023 12:47

Not a sound here.

Cullenskink · 19/02/2023 12:48

Just birdsong.

ChatInMyFlat · 19/02/2023 12:48

Just the low hum of the motorway which is about 3 miles away through open fields.

Apart from that it's very peaceful here.

Sunriseinwonderland · 19/02/2023 12:48

Birds, I live in rural Somerset.

EnglishRain · 19/02/2023 12:49

Just birdsong also. Although I can hear a car in the distance now I've started typing.

Your plane has just flown over my house 😄

The parakeets yelling at each other.

Walterwhiteswifey · 19/02/2023 12:51

Just the birds tweeting to each other. Otherwise nice and quiet, just the way I like it!

pnutter · 19/02/2023 12:51

Neighbour sawing
Neighbours kids chattering

MajesticWhine · 19/02/2023 12:52

Faint noise of a plane.
Dog barking somewhere far off.

TheDutchHouse · 19/02/2023 12:54

Bloody seagulls 🙄

Passmethecrisps · 19/02/2023 12:54

Just opened the window and I can hear absolutely nothing. . . Oh. No, some banging. Someone is doing DIY

Captiancorrellistuba · 19/02/2023 12:55

Helicopter overhead.
Seagulls

lunar1 · 19/02/2023 12:56

Just birds singing.

DinosApple · 19/02/2023 12:57

Birds singing. Small aircraft going over head. Occasional dog bark.
No cars or chatter.

OldTinHat · 19/02/2023 12:58

Absolutely nothing!

watcherintherye · 19/02/2023 12:59

Nothing except the odd car at the front and birds.

liveforsummer · 19/02/2023 13:00

Wind - birds must all be hiding from it. I live in a quiet cul de sac which is very at odds with the fact we are walking distance to a bustling city centre. There currently isn't another sound

Rockbird · 19/02/2023 13:02

The odd car going past and some children and adults just walked up the road chatting. Silent now.

CarPoor · 19/02/2023 13:02

The odd car but it's not loud and the odd bird. No helicopters or planes for me!

To be honest next door are quite keen on crunching about their driveway so this is rare peace

CatMattress · 19/02/2023 13:04

Birds...and my washing machine about to go into orbit.
I know it's inside but it's drowning out anything except the tweeting

Theoldwoman · 19/02/2023 13:04

Complete silence for once (9pm)

Tidsleytiddy · 19/02/2023 13:05
