    The very quiet hum of my netbook. And the sound of me typing:P!

    And my own breathing. A car outside. Now it's gone (the car that is, not my breath:P).

    For once, I'm not listening to music whilst on IIN, which is extremely rare actually. I listen to music something like 96% of the time I'm on here.

    Someone's just opened a cupboard downstairs. Ahh, it's a burglar! They're going to steal all of our tinned goods! Not really, or at least I hope not!:O I don't know how, though, because I didn't hear anyone go downstairs.:S Maybe it's next door.

      R.I.P bananaface.

      You'll be remembered for your bravery, confronting that burglar and defending your tinned goods. He was just too good at Tae Bo and Pilates. You weren't to know his hands were deadly weapons and he had the flexibility of an 11 year old Chinese gymnast :*(

  • Ringining - it's always there, or at least when I'm experiencing inner ear problems.

    Other sounds (at the moment): humming computers, clacking keys, blabbing students, hissing printers - I'm in a computer lab at school.

    I believe a car just went by.

    There's a ringing hum but I think that is my tinnitus or the static from the TV.

    Another car just went by a few minutes ago.

    More cars are going by.

    A door creaked down the hallway.

    I detect more mechanical movement outside but I'm not quite sure what it is.

    More cars.

    There's the sounds of my finger plucking against my thumb. (Both on the left hand)

    Still more cars.

    There's the Audio from the film I'm watching. (Titan A.E.)

    I sniffed.

    I have been, of course, typing the whole time. The keys are low so the sound is a pleasant *clack* *tippity tap*. Nice and soft like rain on a roof.

    The soft somewhat muted friction as my fingers move across the "movement pad" of my laptop.

        Thank you:) In a weird way, I think it makes more sense than James Joyce's writings:/

    I hear cicadas outside, i hear birds, i hear my computer and the sound of typing. I hear the neighbors talking, my family in the other rooms, dogs barking, and the sound of a ticking clock.

    I really like this question, for once we've got something interesting. I don't think we've ever had a question anything like this one.

    On TV; the sound England conceding a goal, and the resulting commiseration and hyperbole of the commentators. There background noise on the TV goes two levels deep, because I can also hear the chants of the crowd from 1500 miles away.

    There's the sound of my brother making a sandwich in the kitchen, and my dog rustling his beanbag/napping place.

    My computer. Children making noise outside. Faint whooshing sounds of cars in the distance. My tinnitus.

    The hum of my computer and birds tweeting outside of my window! I need to go to the bus right now to go to school! I also hear some of my family members talking but not much, some are sleeping still. I get on the bus very early. Bye.

    A small plane flying over and since it's finally sunny and above freezing, the sounds of various things outside shifting and expanding from the warmth.

    I hear the sound of rain outside my window. It's trickling down the roof of my house intermittently.

        It certainly is. It's also still going almost an hour or so later. It's going to be rainy for a while where I am. :)

            I just checked our weather forecast for the upcoming week and it seems we won't be getting any thunder but the forecast isn't always 100% accurate and we do frequently get thunderstorms so who knows? :)

    I hear cicadas - they are not too bad until one is near your window. I hear the occasional car racing down the hill.

    It is a pretty quiet night. Wait till the weekend, my damn neighbours opposite me will have their monthly karaoke night singing (quite badly I should add) along to songs of the 80s.

        It was currently on that song but I'm listening to the whole album. I can't listen to just one song off it, just feels wrong haha. Great album, one of my favorites :)

        • That album introduced me to Modest Mouse and has a special place in my heart. But I think my favorite is Lonesome Crowded West or Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks...really, whichever one I'm listening to at the time.

            The Moon and Antarctica is my favorite but Lonesome Crowded West has Lounge (closing time) which is one of my favorite songs

    The chirping and gurgling noises of a sleeping baby, a large truck backing up, traffic, someone walking around downstairs - they went out the door, the diesel engine of a bus and its squeaky brakes, and the sound of my keyboard.
