Just birds and a few cars on the road, but they're quiet as it's a 20.

We have baby bluetits in our nest box so I can hear them 🥰

FortunataTagnips · 02/06/2024 09:21

Birdsong, and some fucker scaffolding.

beardediris · 02/06/2024 09:21

Birds and nothing else it’s so quiet I can hear my own breathing and that sounds noisy! Bliss.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 02/06/2024 09:22

Lots of birds and the wind in the trees. Our new neighbour hasn’t started his industrial chipper up yet though.
( maybe he will fall into it? Only joking. Ish)

An aeroplane overhead and bird song

sleekcat · 02/06/2024 09:23

The neighbour coughing.

MrsDTucker · 02/06/2024 09:24

Birds

It's a very dull and cold day so no one is outside

MrsDTucker · 02/06/2024 09:24

Ah sounds relaxing.

Birds.
Airplane flying overhead (not directly, just in the near distance).
Water trickling in my fountain.

Thank goodness it's lovely here today - yesterday was jeans, jumper and scarf!!!

Birds, a neighbour in their garden, dull hum of main motorway 5 minutes away, husband in the garden, airplanes going to London City airport, private planes going to Biggin Hill Airport.

MrsDTucker · 02/06/2024 09:25

Birds, and next doors pond. Bliss

BobnLen · 02/06/2024 09:26

Birds, it's mainly older folks like us up our road so rarely hear DC just sometimes dogs and lawnmowers

TequilaNights · 02/06/2024 09:27

Will hear my pond pump running soon too, thats what my husband is doing now.

TequilaNights · 02/06/2024 09:28

There's the water.. lovely, drowns out most of the other noises

ByGrabtharsHammarWhatASaving · 02/06/2024 09:31

Birds and lots of buzzy insects
My own kids playing (not loudly, they're building a den in the garden)
My neighbour popped his head over the wall to say good morning and is now doing something in his greenhouse.

Maddy70 · 02/06/2024 09:32

Parrots
(Noisy feckers)
Someone laughing
And a car

Pombearprincess · 02/06/2024 09:34

Baby blue tits in our nest box. They are so noisy 😍. It’s lovely at the moment before shouty neighbour with a yappy dog gets started. They aren’t even next door to us.

Gonetothewind · 02/06/2024 09:36

Birds, sheep and cows

Bessiethevan · 02/06/2024 09:37

Quite hum of traffic. Lawnmower but sounds quite far away. Birdsong. We live near gardens with a tennis/basketball court - I can just about hear a ball being bounced.

user1984778379202 · 02/06/2024 09:38

Birdsong, next door’s dog whining to be let in and bizarrely what sounds like someone using a rowing machine in their back garden across the way!
