For all of you saying birds I have this week downloaded the Merlin App which actually identifies the bird song.
I am obsessed!!

ThePure · 02/06/2024 10:28

I'm sitting out on my new patio sofa.

Dog barking a few doors away
Some distant traffic noise
Plane going over
Birds
Bees
Wind in the trees
A lot of next doors kids screeching and their mum shouting at them
Also next door the other way having a boring conversation about plumbing

The joys of suburbia.

Bird songs & church bells-lovely start to the day.

Someone cutting logs with an electric saw. He cuts an awful lot of those logs!

Pillowfights · 02/06/2024 10:31

Oh ffs, as I hit the post button, a neighbour has started up with what sounds like a chainsaw 😡

Birds, particularly a jubilant blackbird who finds the highest branches to sing from in the trees. Occasional call of a buzzard across the field. Sheep. My baby growling (his new favourite noise to make).

shellyleppard · 02/06/2024 10:32

Blackbirds, starlings and sparrow ❤️

Eviebeans · 02/06/2024 10:33

Wild birds and our chickens and cockerels.

ohtowinthelottery · 02/06/2024 10:37

Next door's toddlers playing outside and their mum talking to them. The birds tweeting. A distant strimmer. My washing machine spinning as the back door is open.

Rubybetsie · 02/06/2024 10:41

Cars, motorbikes and the usual dog barking...I'm so envious of those can only hear birds

cate16 · 02/06/2024 10:41

Old WW2 planes.

ThePure · 02/06/2024 10:47

I know this is not sound but now the delightful smell of weed is drifting over from next door. Or perhaps it is just a vape I can never tell these days.

tapdancingmum · 02/06/2024 10:49

A quiet radio, bees buzzing, distant cars, a dog barking amd my water wheel going round. Oh, and the guinea pigs eating the grass.

FairisleFairy · 02/06/2024 10:52

A very loud sparrow and the guy over the road jet washing his car. He’s always bloody jet washing something every damn weekend.

AlisonDonut · 02/06/2024 10:55

Lots of birds

French kids playing in the Mairie's playground

Next door Brit over for the month trimming a hedge.

On the hour every hour and every half hour, the bells from the 12th Century church a few hundred yards away. Big bells at 8am, midday and 7pm to tell us the start and end of the day, and when lunchtime is. Big bells due in 5 mins.

SkeletonBatsflyatnight · 02/06/2024 10:57

Birds and my children laughing whilst playing football

TheDandyLion · 02/06/2024 10:57

Sheep and birds.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 02/06/2024 10:57

A plane has just taken off, a car has driven past (20mph), someone is cutting their lawn, kids playing - very sweet! Tweety birds.

MargaretThursday · 02/06/2024 10:57

Our budgies.
Children giggling. Don't know what they're playing but they are very happy.
Nice noises

Fuckerylife · 02/06/2024 10:59

Neighbours chatting and laughing 😃

HappiestSleeping · 02/06/2024 11:00

My neighbour shouting so loud I can hardly hear my chainsaw.

😉

IThinkAdversePossessionApplies · 02/06/2024 11:00

Birds
Background hum of the city traffic
Wind rustling the trees at the bottom of the garden
The kids inside laughing about something

MrsTomRipley · 02/06/2024 11:01

Nothing no kids, no cars, no birds, no planes.
It's brilliant

HurdyGurdy19 · 02/06/2024 11:02

It's 11am and I can hear birdsong (sadly not much), a lawnmower, and muted aeroplane noise (we're about 5 miles as the crow flies from a busy airport, but not under a flightpath)

shittestusernameever · 02/06/2024 11:05

My dog snoring
A lawnmower
Birds tweeting
