    Apart from the sound of the fans and the car alarm that never seems to STFU, it's fairly quiet here, or so I thought!!

    I started to hear this strance rumbling sound, so went to investigate.

























    I found the security guard, snoring his head off...
    LOUDLY

    Loudest thing I ever heard were foxes yelping. Man, they get irritating really quickly. Thankfully it's only happened 2 or 3 times.
    We also have, of course, birds singing at 6a.m. While not as loud, that is a much more regular occurence.

    my birds start at 3.40, not long now... so each night it would be good to have a strange noise report from around the country/world. Please include the story of the investigation and losing a limb or too in the process would make it more juicy:cool:

    Out here Fox yelping is often followed up by a single rifle report.

    The birds here start up at 5am.

    There's one sound I've been hearing for years that I've never been able to figure out.

    Sounds like someone kicking a ball against the wall of my house... but it isn't...

    Oh... and then there was the time I thought someone was leaving the engine of their car idling out on the street every night.... but it just turned out I'd got horrible tinnitus...

    I can hear the sea at night.
    Sometimes I hear trains going by, the track would be maybe 2 miles from the house.

    There are pheasants in the fields beside the house, so you can hear them when it gets bright, they are loud!!

    I have heard the air raid siren a few times, was up at about 4:45am one morning and the guarda chopper was flying round looking for someone/something, we get car alarms going off all the time as well as house alarms. One in particular is always going off and I think to myself, ARE YOU DEAF? the neighbours must have gotten used to it now, or the guards know it's a false alarm. I mean why have one if it don't work?

    We actually do have one but never set it! (looks out through curtains, makes sure no-one is reading this on a laptop in a car!) The house 2 doors up was robbed the other day, but even though people know I have lots of expensive gear we have even left the back door unlocked and gone out. Mind you it is pretty hard to get into the back of our garden as there is no side or rear entrance!

    We have three cats and theres about 6 more on the road.

    So I'm serenaded by the sounds of cats yowling and bells tinkling as they play hide and seek all night long.
