What are yours?
I’ve got church bells, a dog barking for the last hour, some kid yelling ‘daddy’ and being ignored, some birds in the trees and a petrol mower  |

Police helicopters? That’s the most common one here, followed by a few fb posts asking if anyone knows what it’s up to  |

I was thinking about starting this thread yesterday!! I was in the (huge) park on my own and, whilst I know it’s a public space, was hoping for a bit of peace and quiet.
My afternoon was interrupted by a small plane that seemed to be circling my patch of field, a wanker with the loudest drone in drone history, screaming children, motorbikes I could hear at full chat for miles, endless ambulances sirens, dogs barking, teenagers playing music at full volume, lawnmowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers and those irritating fucking pigeons that never stop cooing.
Aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!
But I didn’t start my thread a say all this because I know it would sound ignorant and bad tempered. Thank goodness I kept it to myself!!! |

"I can hear the birds, a small plane flying over, people having a convo in the street, neighbour stomping up the stairs and one of the cats shouting about something."
I’m most interested in what the cats up to! |

Haha!! Thank you, Chicken. I felt exactly like that as I typed! It’s mostly my own fault because I’m particularly sensitive to noises, but knowing that doesn’t help. |

Put some ear plugs in next time  it’s funny what annoys people noise-wise. I get particularly irked at the repetitive noise from kids on a trampoline  |

For me the sounds of Summer are the nascent sounds of Åutumn emerging: the onset of cool breezes, the subtle rustling of still warm leaves, the cranking sounds of the dormant boiler starting up for the first time. |

Dogs barking endlessly, birds chirping and lots of hammering and banging from building work early in the morning. As the day progresses, children playing, people chatting, clattering around and music playing in the background.
I don't mind it but I think I'd enjoy the peace and quiet of living somewhere a little more isolated. |

Army usually, sometimes air ambulance, the occasional VIP flying through.
Not so much the police though lol. |

Sounds like you’ve had Roger the Shrubber round! Has it got a nice two tier effect? |
