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?

My DH snoring. Got my earplugs in which is helping slightly.

SweetBirdsong · 11/08/2024 23:36

The fan gently whooshing. And Dirty John (season 1) on Netflix on the TV. Just watching the end of episode 3 before I go to bed!

Eimk · 11/08/2024 23:36

Thunder!

Weatehonoured · 11/08/2024 23:38

Kitchen clock, all quiet 🤫 grieving the end of the Olympics

Mojodojocasahous · 11/08/2024 23:39

Husband talking to the cat 😍

NatureofSociety · 11/08/2024 23:41

Really loud tinnitus and DH gently snoring 🥰

shivermetimbers77 · 11/08/2024 23:42

A few cars and a bus going past my window , the distant rumble of a plane and some people chatting as they walk along the road.

Kinsters · 11/08/2024 23:43

Rain on the window and nurses talking at the nurses station. Cars going past.

Gone12 · 11/08/2024 23:48

The wind blowing outside and my bedroom fan quietly fanning.

Ridiculousme · 11/08/2024 23:50

Tinnitus and the odd car going past. Fan on but SILENT. muji from a suggestion on MN. Best £50 ever.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 11/08/2024 23:51

The fan blowing and my cat purring as she’s resting her head on my hand.

CalicoPusscat · 11/08/2024 23:52

Very faint wind tunnel type noise, but it's not windy out!

TheyNicknamedHerTheBolter · 11/08/2024 23:53

For the first time since 6am, absolutely nothing 👌🏻

Notherefortheclout · 11/08/2024 23:53

My fan next ti my bed

caz123456 · 11/08/2024 23:55

I'm lying in bed and can hear my husband next to me breathing gently and a low hum of music coming from my daughter's room next door.

ChimpyChops · 11/08/2024 23:59

The air con unit and Smooth FM very quietly on the Alexa.

BBC coverage of the Olympics closing ceremony. My kids hammering the floor and shouting upstairs with excitement from their gaming PCs. And a sort of ringing in one of my ears. It's been blocked up with wax for almost a week, and still 10 days until I can get it looked at. So I can only really hear half the usual volume around me.

I had a blocked ear once and used the curved end of an hair grip to get the old dried wax out. Needless to say it worked!

AliceGrice · 12/08/2024 00:05

A hedgehog crunching its food. The occasional car on a distant road.

NeverMindTheBackProblems · 12/08/2024 00:47

My olive tree rustling in the breeze. The sound of cars whooshing past on a nearby A road. It's not noisy and the sound is comforting, hearing people going about their business while I lounge on my sofa.

SnowFrogJelly · 12/08/2024 00:49

Heavy breathing..

Cakeandcoffee93 · 12/08/2024 00:55

Slight tinnitus but that’s a given. Bf sleeping breathing next to me and the window ajar with distant sounds of the motorway. A breeze too. It’s toasty tonight. I’m tired

mathanxiety · 12/08/2024 01:58

Deafening locusts.

The Chase on Challenge on the TV. DH moving around in the bedroom upstairs. Water from a neighbour's garden, not sure if it's a pond/water feature or a hot tub as it's just gurgling in the background.
