    Default What sounds are out your window tonight?

    I'm a city girl that now lives in the country. Tonight the coyotes are going crazy and a barred owl is in a tree singing,"Who cooks for you, you?"

    I remember when I was a kid the sirens, the traffic, the never ending sound. Now we have crickets and coyetes! And I love it! What do you hear?

    The usual chickens that live all over Key West crowing--they never wait for dawn, but start around 11 PM or midnight and go all night. In another few hours (unless I go out) I will hear the drunks lurching and staggering home to their hotels or wherever they are staying, bellowing at each other or maybe the moon. About once every 2-3 weeks I will hear some couple unleashing 20 years of frustration with each other, screaming at each other at full volume--finally released by massive amounts of alcohol and the fact they are far away from home and their neighbors, children, relatives, etc. It's funny and sad at the same time.

    I grew up in the city but have lived in the country and also in small towns. Best of all is living on the ocean, the sound is like music 24 hours a day. But the corrosive effect of the salt air is hell on stereo equipment, etc.

    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade... then find someone whose life gave them vodka, and have a party.

    Outside my window is pretty quiet right now but inside my refrigerator is another story. You see, I just got home to hear my smoke detector beeping "low batter, low batter," every 3 minutes. I don't have any batteries at the moment so I decided to just take it down until tomorrow. Smoke detector didn't like that too much. It started screaming "Fire! Carbon Monoxide!" loud enough for the neighbors to hear so I panicked and threw it in the fridge. Now I just hear these muffled beeps every couple minutes.

    for me it's whats not making sound, for the first time ever I am seeing "heat lightning" or an electrical storm that has all the pretty flashing lights but no thundering sound,

    When I visit my family that lives out in the boonies, I usually just hear the free roaming cattle mooing, and the dogs barking at them.

    Do deers scream when they are frightened? When I was running through the forest a few evenings ago I think a deer somewhere off in the distance got spooked. I never saw it but *something* started charging in my general direction and it was making this loud eerie screaming sound. We have a zillion deers here, so I'm hoping thats what it was, lol. I felt like I was in Lost while it was happening though. I just about shit my pants, lmao.

    I live on a really narrow inner city street with parking on both sides so at least once a night I hear someone hitting someone elses car thankfully mine has somehow survived 3 years.

    Ruh roh! That sounds like wild boar! Not trying to scare you but that squeal and charging is typical and they can knock a linebacker off his feet.

    Tonight, I hear a few cars on the highway and the a/c. Last week I heard a cricket that somehow got super close to the a/c exhaust.

    Last night, gunshots (more than a dozen), sirens and a carcrash at an intersection about a block away. Tonight, sirens in the distance (not too close tonight, yay) and neighbors laughing on their front porch socially drinking/smoking. A nice night, tonight!
