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.

Fan oven, cat purring. My noisy neighbour is thankfully silent for once.

Baby Annabel doll crying and DD talking to it. DSs talking about the lego they are building in the other room. Distant siren. Tumble dryer. Washing machine. All a bit noisy to be honest!

The air fryer cooking beef topside, The Resident on the TV, the fire cracking and DD having a wash upstairs.

ForeverinBJ · 01/01/2025 16:07

Football from the pitches across the road, my DD not very quietly emptying the dishwasher

My daughter giving an English class to a girl from Afghanistan taking about poetry.

My youngest I guess on the Xbox talking loudly to someone, just told him to shut up, as he's upstairs and we can hear him in the lounge.

You'd think at coming up 18 he'd know better. If the noise goes up again, I'll be less than polite next time.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 01/01/2025 16:55

A football match on TV in the other room and the sound of the washing machine.

yikesanotherbooboo · 01/01/2025 16:55

DS cooking in kitchen, DGD dancing to rock music, DH crashing around looking for glasses and opening champagne, fire crackling ...

CharlotteStreetW1 · 01/01/2025 16:55

A French police or ambulance siren. A child crying. People chatting outside a nearby bar.

It's bloody freezing on this balcony!

Also tinnitus.

Nerdlings · 01/01/2025 16:59

DH cooking us a roast in the kitchen and DD on the phone to her friend.

Dancetildawn · 01/01/2025 17:01

The dishwasher
Dancedogs claws on the kitchen floor as he looks for a crumb or two
Dh sniffing in the next room-annoying af so am about to take him a tissue

We've had music on for most of the afternoon so am relishing the (sort of) silence

Anythingyousay · 01/01/2025 17:08

I'm in bed watching Mary poppins, DD in her room on the phone, DS in the living room watching YouTube and DH in the kitchen watching football. Very sociable! Oh and the tumble dryer (massively regretting stripping the bed this morning but the fresh warm sheets will be worth it) and the toilet trickling.

I finally persuaded kids to watch the new W&G earlier and they loved it and keep quoting from it "flipping heck it's a turnip" 😂

GetyourheadoutoftheovenIris · 01/01/2025 17:13

I’m listening to Nina Simone so that plus I can hear Dh washing up in the kitchen and the dog murdering his new toy 😬

Itiswhysofew · 01/01/2025 17:18

Nieces dog snuffling, clock ticking, slight ringing in my ears, which I've only just become aware of, & crunching apple.

GodDamnVampire · 01/01/2025 17:26

DS1 watching a Michael Palin programme on channel 5 at the same time as scrolling videos on his phone. The squeak of DS2 playing with his birthday balloons from yesterday.

Longma · 01/01/2025 17:33

Currently sat in the balcony of DD's apartment.

I can hear:
The ski bus travelling back down the hill.
A fait sound of someone chatting in an apartment below us.
Dd coughing every so often.
Clipping noise of ski boots as people walk by below every so often.
A plane going overhead.
