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!)

A blue tit singing

Only the wind

Sitting in my bedroom with the window open. Can hear bird song, general rumble of traffic from the main road and louder car noises when cars go up our road.

Next door neighbour pressure washing their car, distant traffic noise, birds.

Bloody neighbour loudly revving his beloved Aston Martin. He does this several times a week for no apparent reason other than burning petrol (don't think the car ever leaves his garage) and it's extremely annoying. Have got to the point where I might post a note through (he isn't a direct neighbour, house is one street away) making him aware of how the sounds travels and the fact it's antisocial and very annoying

Nothing at all from outside. Maybe a car if I listen hard enough I'm in my bedroom with the windows open so it's mostly birds I can hear.

OhNoNotThatAgain · 19/02/2023 16:33

All quiet here. Not a lot happens down our road.

LBOCS2 · 19/02/2023 16:35

Nice sounding birds, along with shouting parakeets. Next door doing a bit of DIY. The occasional car going past.

It's all quite peaceful really.

DeliberatelyObtuse · 19/02/2023 16:37

Seagulls and waves

@LakeFlyPie Maybe it's James Bond in hiding or his replacement. Is there 008 or something near his car, license plate or something? 😎

RobinGood · 19/02/2023 18:28

The wind has really picked up tonight and I’m at the top of a tall building so wind noise and nothing else right now!

cassiatwenty · 19/02/2023 18:29

Be careful up there @RobinGood please

My new neighbours are as quiet as church mice.

I love them. ❤️

Outside, i can hear the odd car going past. So, it's pretty peaceful here at the moment.

eatdrinkandbemerry · 19/02/2023 18:50

None because I've got autistic kids who are making their usual noise 🤣.
I don't even hear people knocking on our door due to said children and their happy stims

MadeOfSteel · 19/02/2023 18:53

All I can hear from outside just now the wind. I live rurally, so it's mostly only the odd tractor going by or cows mooing.

MadamArcati99 · 19/02/2023 19:01

just the wind howling

Tarkan · 19/02/2023 19:06

Windy here now too. I can occasionally hear a wheely bin blowing over.

RobinGood · 19/02/2023 19:58

Oh I’m indoors don’t worry, I meant I’m in a room on the top floor.

I can now hear karaoke from one of the many bars underneath this apartment block . If it's like last night peak noise will be around 2 am.

wineandsunshine · 19/02/2023 21:24

Workmen on the railway line - we have weeks of them replacing old 'stuff' and digging up the tracks.

Meh - trying to teach this week is going to be fun!

Sadly it's just Yorkshire Dave being a wanker

cassiatwenty · 19/02/2023 23:55

@LakeFlyPie That just made me laugh IRL a little bit, thankyou. Oh Yorkshire Dave do pipe down a bit 😆

Walkingtheplank · 19/02/2023 23:59

The far rumble of a train.

Oakbeam · 20/02/2023 00:16

Nothing.
