What can you hear right now?

[DrunkenElephant]

The hum of my laptop
Traffic on the road in the distance
Birds tweeting

Wonderwall

My children playing harmoniously together (very rare occurrence indeed!) and my dog licking her bum

Tinnitus
My son's tablet
Dog snoring

Silence except a bird tweeting loudly outside.

Thanks for making me stop and notice this.

The news blaring from a phone two rows in front of me on the train.

Rugby on the TV

Complete and utter silence

Ds playing the drums, and dd screeching on the violin.

The puppy breathing next to me on the sofa.
The teenagers' televisions upstairs.
The ice clinking in my glass.
My finger tapping on my phone.

It's pretty quiet here. Hadn't realised how much I like it.

A train passing through at the end of the garden, the tick of the kitchen clock. Alvin and the bloody chipmunks next door in the lounge where DSD13 is having a nostalgia session 🙄

hum of extractor fan in the bathroom and my baby boy having a dream feed

The sound of DH watching, Have I Got News for You.

One of my cats is on back of settee above my head, if I touch him, he'll purr. When I move him or his brother will meow for their supper and both will purr when served. I'm off to feed them.

I’m listening to Harry Mancini and the dogs snoring (sadly not in tune).

Family and friends laughing hysterically. Sausage dog with a squeak toy.

Radio 4

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban

Clock ticking in the dining room. Nothing else at this time of night. I'm in a big stone house in the country.

Lots of birdsong. There was some brief rain after a protracted hot and dry spell, and rain always seems to set them off; mostly the beautiful carolling of the magpies (Australian).

Tinnitus shrill and distant traffic

The radio, and the sound of voices in the distance

traffic (nice hum), tinnitus, someone’s tv faintly nearby. All good. Give it a couple of hours and my neighbour will come back and spoil it all though.

The odd car passing, the dog snoring slightly

Earlier on Borrow Box (audio), a few chapters of Bruce Springsteen's autobiography "Born to Run" which is brilliant. Then the radio news. Now nothing, because I've taken my bluetooth hearing aids out lol! Thank God for them, life is not so silent anymore.

The silence is absolute.
We're in a quiet area anyway, no hum of traffic at night. We have triple glazing too.

If I opened the window I'd probably hear an owl and maybe a muntjac. It's a bit chilly for open windows tonight though.

Sleep music and traffic.

I am wide awake.
