What are you listening to right now --- that ISN'T music?
 

Yeah, I know we all listen to a lot of music, but apart from that, what can you hear right now? Children playing? Dogs barking? Airplanes landing? The sound of your wife sleeping? The couple in the next apartment having a fight? Or maybe you too can hear that little green guy who's only six inches high and invisible but keeps whispering in your ear to kill all --- never mind.

:D

Personally, I hear the wind sighing through the trees in my back garden and an aircraft fading away into the distance.

My clothes dryer is on.

Your threads are getting progressively worse.

Thank you! :)

Hmmm.....

For the therapeutic value of simply writing, I'll stick my oar in here:

It's very quiet at the moment, but I can hear to my considerable discomfort the sound of a mouse scratching it's way through the floorboards above me, which to my annoyance I can do nothing about. It's one of the disadvantages of living in such a miserable old place like mine I suppose.

some old war film about people eating rats

air conditioner

Right now I'm listening to some noise music, it's pretty goo--oh, wait, that's just a neighbour's lawnmower outside.

My heater. It makes the percussive chuck chick chicksssssssss chicksssssssssss chuk chuk sound when I turn it on. It's summer and 53 degrees out, lame.

The fan on my computer and people banging around upstairs.

The council decided to cut the grass outside for like the last five hours. I think this is karma punishing me for the state I was in last night.

My dog is barking and has been for the last hour or so. He lives in the chicken field where we grow our potatoes also and cabbage and other veggies like that.

You grow vegetables in the chicken field? So why don't you just call it a garden and keep the chickens elsewhere?

An episode of Quite Interesting.

Coz its weird, the pen for the chickens is like, resting along the edges of the vegetable garden ( about half an acre ) and whenever we let them out they just run around and hang out.

the sound of my electric fan whirring

sound of Buddhist chanting in the temple behind my house, along with the click-clocking of a stick on wood (accompanying the chants)

So do they run around or do they hang out? One tends to preclude the other. And yes, I am being intentionally difficult.

sound of plastic bags fluttering in the wind

The sound of one hand clapping.

...and a phone that won't stop ringing...

ambient stadium noises from my neighbour' tv set, as Euro 2012 kicks off now

Hammering, drilling, sawing, motors... yeah, the building of the extension is finally back underway, after the sugar mice came back once the rain stopped!

And the sound of my brain slamming the door behind it and growling "That's it! I'm off on holiday! You're on your own!" :)

my senior partner babbling

Some Looney Toons movie.

Mostly sparrows chirping outside. My hard drive chatting away as it writes some temp file. A car driving by on the wet road out front.

My fan and my air conditioner. It's hot as fuck out tonight.

Coughing and sniffing. Should be a new type of musical vocals.

last heard the sounds and dialogue of "Dark Knight Rises" cos i just watched that

I'm listening to the sweet sounds of my AC keeping it cool.

was watching some auditioning porn just now so the perv dialogue of the auditioner coaxing the auditionee into doing perv acts

The low breathing of my bigass dog while it sleeps, the video game noises coming from my brother playing Diablo III. Myself, typing. Life itself, moving in the atmosphere. The universe, ever expanding in the cosmos. Time, standing still as I move through it.

I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING.

The radio. Oh, burn. It's funny 'cause I'm insinuating that what gets played on the radio doesn't qualify as music. I'm clever. And obviously narcissistic.

What an originally opinionated post that maybe even I will learn something from. What is this radio you speak of?

the whirring of my electric fan

Listening to it pissing down outside.

Construction. Though it can be good. Makes it easy to wake up in the morning.

me mum nagging

Right now I am listening to Murray and Djokovic grunting at each other. I may or may not have a boner.

My noisy fridge.

[insert bad Sunn O))) joke here]

The annoying penis enhancement commercials that come on at night when kids are "supposed to be sleeping", yet some aren't, and they ask their parents what penis pills are the next morning when they're eating their waffles and drinking their OJ.
