I can hear 16yr old DS belting out Queen's "Radio Gaga". This makes me very happy, it's my favourite song.

No idea why he's singing it SO LOUDLY though. The neighbours are probably wondering the same...😄

Our tiny (soon to be rehomed) kittens hissing and growling at their much older siblings from another litter. They are hilarious when trying to be scary and have little to no impact on the aforementioned bigger kittens. They absolutely terrify the dog though who is 25 times their size and a complete wimp

Singing sands i get told off if the biscuits run out 😂😂

Nothing. Absolutely nothing and it’s divine. My son is fast asleep, as are the dogs. The horses and cows are all happily in the fields, not the sheds/stables. The washing machine finished half an hour ago, so no noise on that front. It’s lovely!

OOh . . . please can I join you? My neighbour is still shouting and I know from experience I won't be able to sleep until she calls it a day! I've been to a funeral today and, just after I got home I had a phone call to tell me that one of my friends is seriously ill. I feel mentally exhausted and just want to go to bed and sleep . . . . .

Needmorelego · 06/06/2024 22:49

Ooh upstairs's telly has gone off.
It must be bedtime 😴

Oh I’m so sorry for your troubles, that’s the last thing you need after a tough day. All welcome at Muffin HQ.

The bar at the back of my apartment closing. It’s generally quite noisy but is absolutely silent by midnight. (Am in Central Europe in a big tourist city.)

Hillbilly · 06/06/2024 22:51

The neighbours playing a Bay City Rollers track 🤣 and a cat mooching around on next door's shed. I
Sitting in the garden. Oh now cats screeching luckily mine in indoors 😊

masomenos · 06/06/2024 22:51

Air conditioning unit humming quietly, kids laughing on their way to the park after school, helicopters whirring in the distance, boats tooting their horns. I don’t think I could live in the countryside!

SheepAndSword · 06/06/2024 22:52

It's really quiet here - the occasional car going past.

Heard signs of activity from upstairs s minute ago so I have to fetch him to help with the bins

That's very kind of you . . . hopefully NDN will shut up soon and I can settle down at KnitnNatter Towers . . . . 😴

Goingasteady30 · 06/06/2024 22:53

I can hear the odd car going past and the TV quietly on downstairs in the background.

Glorybea · 06/06/2024 22:53

Yup tinnitus here too. Would be glorious total silence if it wasn't for that incessant ringing 🙄

bilgewater · 06/06/2024 22:53

Just the dishwasher. Can sometimes hear the fox who lives behind our shed crunching about on the gravel down the side of the house, but not tonight.

SingingSands · 06/06/2024 22:53

Where are you @masomenos ? I love thinking about people in other time zones doing something completely different!

The fan in the downstairs toilet. DD16 seems to have the ability to know when I’m just falling asleep then bam…off she trots to the loo (below our bedroom) and the fan starts up as soon as she turns the light on 🙄

LakeTiticaca · 06/06/2024 22:54

My cat, purring very loudly, while snuggled up in bed with DP.
I think I'll sleep in the spare room and leave them to it 🤣🤣

CatWithARabbit · 06/06/2024 22:54

Cat purring beside me on bed

SingingSands · 06/06/2024 22:55

@KnitnNatterAuntie that sounds like a tough day, I'm so sorry and hope that neighbour quietens down Flowers

Bloody tinnitus. And the shower competing with the bathroom fan.

ProvincialLady2024 · 06/06/2024 22:58

Cat purring, teenager in shower, someone in heals clip clopping along the street, a distant train.

Tinnitus here too... I'd love to hear silence again...

AbsolutelyFemale · 06/06/2024 23:00

My ears are ringing, just back from seeing Gary Newman live. He finished with Cars and Are Friends Electric. Great gig.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/06/2024 23:01

Pretty much nothing ... on a boat on the Norfolk Broads moored in a quiet place. There was birdsong at dusk and there will be at dawn, I should be getting to sleep.
