I can faintly hear my DH talking to his parents on video call in his office, with the DCs interjecting every now and then to tell Granny and Papa about this and that.
I'm in the kitchen living area with the dog at my feet, gently snoring while I'm having a quick scroll on MN with Wallace & Gromit on very low.

A very loud very high pitched buzzing which is worse in my right ear than my left

The dog occasionally sighing.

Justleaveitblankthen · 01/01/2025 14:57

My contentedly muddy dog snoozing peacefully beside me. The occasional faint chirp of a sparrows in my garden tree

RAIN

SquirmOfEels · 01/01/2025 15:00

Raindrops.

And the click of keys as I type.

It's really unusual - I'm in London and can hear neither traffic noise nor aeroplanes overhead.

I guess people have rescheduled plans to be driving anywhere today, and planes are on one of the other approach routes

Two dogs snoring
Ceiling fan
Air conditioner
Car going past

Obviously not in the UK!

Joystir59 · 01/01/2025 15:01

Classic FM and the tumbler dryer rumbling gently in the utility room. The Shi Tzu gently snoring in his bed. I'm sitting on the sofa in an open plan living dining kitchen room

A family talking in a large group whilst we are all lying around the swimming pool. Completely boring, insane conversation. But we all have to listen as they go on and on and on......
Currently hearing about what they had for breakfast.

terracottacountryfarm · 01/01/2025 15:01

Smooth radio, chatter from family and rain

Abracadabra12345 · 01/01/2025 15:01

Background music in the pub, chatter, clink of glasses as it rains outside. Very pleasant

Gatekeeper · 01/01/2025 15:02

Rain and wind outside, woodburner crackling away and our old cat snoring away on my best jumper

Justcallmebebes · 01/01/2025 15:02

Put the TV on mute and absolutely nothing, apart from the ticking of a clock. Bliss, after a really busy Christmas and new year

andjustlikethat1 · 01/01/2025 15:02

Darts 🎯

saltandvinegarchipsticks · 01/01/2025 15:04

Horse racing on the telly, rain outside, cars passing on the wet road, the washing machine, the kitten making squeaky noises playing with a ball.

PermanentTemporary · 01/01/2025 15:04

Washing machine and a snoring cat, plus a bit of very muted traffic beyond hhe double glazing, splashing in the wet.

Ruslandgirl · 01/01/2025 15:06

A Radio 4 programme about the Shipping Forecast. The low hum of the dehumidifier drying my laundry. The gentle snores of my cat asleep on the sofa.

GiddyRobin · 01/01/2025 15:06

Is that the new Wallace & Gromit, OP? What did you think? I loved Norbot. 😁

I can hear tinnitus (high five to the tinnitus club?), DD singing about Christmas trees, DH whistling a tune for her to sing to, and DS rummaging in the fridge.

Scampuss · 01/01/2025 15:06

Crackling candle
Simmering veg
Noisy birds
Occasional car going past

UpUpUpU · 01/01/2025 15:06

The washing machine, Harry Potter music and my son’s Xbox pad being pressed. Occasionally the of “yes!” When he wins

muddyford · 01/01/2025 15:06

Boiler humming and radiators ticking as they warm up. DH and two dogs breathing quietly. No cars or road noise.

GodDamnVampire · 01/01/2025 15:07

I just heard myself chuckling, the canal boat "high speed" chase scene in W&G is one of the funniest things I've watched in a long time 😂

Boiling water where potatoes are parboiled, the sound of the oven and the spitting of duck fat inside it
No prizes for guessing what I'm doing Grin

sanityisamyth · 01/01/2025 15:09

Last Tango in Halifax and DS pretending to tidy his room.

gingercat02 · 01/01/2025 15:09

The darts, DS is obsessed!

Cross posted! Yes, it is so clever and brilliant, we loved it.
Norbot is great but that army of marching evil Norbots is the stuff of nightmares <shudders>

My DC is watching Modern Family downstairs
Older DC in bedroom pottering about

All as I lay in bed and contemplate going alcohol free for a long stint
