The washing machine.

Pops and crackles of open fire. We are on holiday in the Highlands of Scotland. Single track road outside with v little traffic, thick walls and v good double glazing, so can't hear the birds or the free range sheep, though can see a few.

Salmon cooking for dinner 😂

TheNinthLock · 31/03/2025 18:43

The gas under the pan of brocolli. The steady hum of the oven warming up the rest of dinner.
Birds.
Traffic in the distance.
Dh talking to the dog in the living room.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 31/03/2025 18:44

The radio in the kitchen - talking about the bin strikes in Birmingham and, as the back door is open, birdsong in the garden which is lovely. The evening chorus is just as lovely as the dawn chorus.

I can also hear DH doing some tidying in the garden.

TomatoSandwiches · 31/03/2025 18:44

My fan, the cat licking himself, my son on his spinny chair and some birds onto of the chimney.

potsandmud · 31/03/2025 18:45

Wood pigeons and faraway traffic! People in their gardens and lovely bird song.

TheCurious0range · 31/03/2025 18:46

DS singing, something about chicken wings, 14 minutes until lights out!

MargaretThursday · 31/03/2025 18:46

Dh mashing the potato in the kitchen.
The budgies commenting on that.
Occasional ds moving around upstairs.

Westfacing · 31/03/2025 18:47

Dishwasher
Bit of traffic - inner London but surprisingly quiet at this moment
Church bells

AlwaysGardening · 31/03/2025 18:47

Tinnitus - high pitched whistle

ParsnipPuree · 31/03/2025 18:47

Dh (ds’s step dad) sorting out car insurance with him.

Mylegishangingoff · 31/03/2025 18:48

My dog snoring other than that there is silence.

marsaline · 31/03/2025 18:48

Birdsong. Slight hum of the fridge.

IsItOnlyWednesday · 31/03/2025 18:49

The robot hoover and the TV on fucking loud so DH can hear it over the Hoover.

reversegear · 31/03/2025 18:49

Waves, aircon fan & location location on my laptop, I'm In the Maldives stretching after eating and drinking far too much. My usual noise right now would be my dogs snoring!!

Carinattheliqorstore1 · 31/03/2025 18:50

Blood pounding in my head; the bathroom fan left on, my son talking downstairs, my husband doing dishes, the bubbles in the diet cola beside me

NormasArse · 31/03/2025 18:50

Birdsong and the dog’s gentle snores.

It’s really quiet here.

wheresmyshoe · 31/03/2025 18:54

Blackbirds singing, a wood pigeon, a bumblebee, jazz on the radio and DH cooking floating outside from the kitchen

Puppupandaway · 31/03/2025 18:56

My tinnitus humming, dd playing fortnite online with her bff and the dolce gusto machine making an americano. Windows are open and not a sound outside. We live in a very quiet street!

ohnowwhatcanitbe · 31/03/2025 18:58

My fan oven, and I have a purring cat on my lap. Not a lot else unless you count my tinnitus. Confused

PermanentTemporary · 31/03/2025 18:58

My podcast (A history of rock and roll in 500 songs, highly recommended). The water boiling to steam the potatoes and courgettes. The butter, lemon and dill sauce cooking.
