I’m lucky enough to live in a fairly peaceful neighbourhood. There are occasional irritants. I live near Haydock Park Racecourse, and they host a few pop concerts each year. Usually all I can hear is the bass booming away for several hours. I make a point of being out whenever they are staged.
My neighbours sometimes mind their friends’ Dalmatian, and he wuffs constantly if they leave him at home, but it’s usually not for very long. I’m pretty patient about noises, and being a little deaf helps, as I can remove my hearing-aids.
My favourite sound is the blackbird singing his going-to-bed song from the top of the tree.
Blossom14 I’m surprised that the sound of a tinkling fountain upset someone, unless she has the same problem as many Grans, and it makes her want to ‘tinkle’ too! ?
