I'm trying to concentrate and finish off a report to send tonight but all I can do is try not to laugh as I can hear the DCs having a 'song off' on the piano and the keyboard in the music room.
One is playing Keane 'Somewhere Only We Know' and the other is bashing out Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' 🙉

What can you currently hear?

Nothing

Earlier I could hear the monkeys running on the roof

WolfFoxHare · 11/08/2024 19:13

DH using his clippers to tidy DS’s hair in the bath (bzzzzzzzz “Keep still. Keep still!”) very faint traffic noise, the wind in the trees, a wood pigeon cooing.

PIPpityDoodah · 11/08/2024 19:14

The washing machine and music from the local Carnival

Gene Pitney playing on DH's phone while he cooks the tea.

My DH singing while he cleans the kitchen

MsNemo · 11/08/2024 19:17

DH and eldest DC reading a story and laughing. Little noises of my baby breastfeeding. My dog's paws on the wooden floor.

George Harrison singing "What Is Life" on my Spotify on my phone with headphones...

Mischance · 11/08/2024 19:19

The tower fan whizzing round. And nothing else. In front of me are fields, which are still and silent. Even the bullocks are quiet.

She sounds awesome.

The teenagers are cooking tea together. Spaghetti bol from scratch. I can hear them talking about if they've got it right. One squeaked, I think the pasta boiled over. 😂 nice of them to cook though!

Frances0911 · 11/08/2024 19:21

Birds chirping in my front garden, and the clock ticking.

mytuppennyworth · 11/08/2024 19:21

Children playing in the street and neighbours chatting

movingonsaturday · 11/08/2024 19:21

A fan and the birds outside. I've just moved to the countryside from the city and never been happier

ItsAlrightDarling · 11/08/2024 19:23

My autistic child giggling while his sister tickles him. DH and other DD chatting. Shouting/laughing from a raucous BBQ across the road.

StarryDance · 11/08/2024 19:23

The end of the Olympics on the TV. DP pottering about in the garden.

StoatofDisarray · 11/08/2024 19:24

My fan whirring and a Creganford's latest vlog on Patreon. I'm in my dark bedroom trying to keep cool.

WaveAcrossTheBay · 11/08/2024 19:25

DC talking but not yet arguing. They found a Dungeons and Dragons starter set that belonged to their dad and decided to play. I don’t think either of them knows how to play. DC1 claims she does because they sometimes play it at Warhammer club at school, DC2 has no idea, DC1 does not have the patience to explain to DC2, I have absolutely no idea so can’t help.

Dr13Hadley · 11/08/2024 19:28

The bathroom fan. I'm in the bath. And a dog barking outside. DH has taken the kids to the park to play footy so it won't be this quiet for long.

sarsaparillatree · 11/08/2024 19:30

My tinnitus. It gets rather tiresome.

WonderingWanda · 11/08/2024 19:32

I can here my son ranting at my dh about how much screentime he doesn't have and dh sympathetically laughing at him.
