What can you hear?

    In relation to the thread about hearing bells on a Sunday morning. What can you currently hear wherever you are?

    I'm sitting outside my family home so I can hear some Sigur Rós playing over the sound system, with the wind blowing in my ears and the distant blubbering of the river as it moves over the small rapids downstream. There's also the faintest sound of birdsong as they fly overhead.

    I can hear commentators on the tv. My brother is watching Man Utd v Liverpool, and I can hear my parents talking in the kitchen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭alexlyons


    The fridge, the radio, about 4 petrol engines and 2 diesels, the hydrolic crane, the electric crane... Way to much tbh but this pays the bills!!!

    Not sure German is the most musical language ever. :eek:

    Especially when they're talking about Machete and breaking out into Arnie impersonations.

    Tinnitus, that's about all really, apart from this typing, as I haven't put my (new) bionic ear/hearing aid in yet. Apart from the tinnitus its quite peaceful.

    Arnie impersonations can be extremely musical. Get them to sing the soundtrack from "Hello Dolly" as sung by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    It started to drizzle and I had to sit back inside so now I hear the pitter patter of my puppies paws against the tiled floor of our diningroom and her lazy yawns with Sigur Rós still playing in the background.

    Traffic, always the traffic. I try to guess what gear each car is in to make it interesting. What an exciting life I lead.

    My nextdoor neighbors roaring at each other. Their not fighting or anything, its just how they normally communicate.

    Noisy bunch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    The fan in the kitchen isint too loud today so i can hear the clang of the plates hitting the hot pass. The commis' are dying, and so i hear very little out of them because i fúcked them out of it them already this morning.

    The waitress' are zooming past the office door (in so far as any of them are fit to zoom on a Sunday).

    The pot walloper is singing "Country roads" and i swear to fúck if she misses that high note once more i'll shove the rolling pin up her hole.

    There's a match on the telly in the bar, my gut says no goals yet as i havent felt the walls in the office shaking.

    I can hear my laptop whirring, and faint sounds of the washing machine coming from the utility room. All terribly exciting.

    Cork V Tyrone match

    Vegetables boiling over, pots and pans clattering, foul language (OH making dinner, I'll leave him sweat another while)

    Thud of rap music, gunshots and women screaming (Grand Theft Auto) above my head

    I love Sundays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    the sound if the projector fan whirring. The bing bing if the Luas as it pulls off and some moving around in the upstairs apartment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,351 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    All I can hear is the TV in the background with the GAA matches going on and my computer buzzing. Can't hear things outside of the house very well when inside the house.

    Often cannot understand Irish myself either, but can speak Irish but cannot understand it when spoken fluently on the tv.

    If turning The Room into a zombie movie equates to porn, then yes, yes we are.

    You better be recording this and putting it on YouTube, preferably with English captions if they're still speaking in German.

    the sound of liverpool equalizing in the next room :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,442 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    I can hear the Liverpool v Man U match my father is watching, the fan on the oven cooking a roast chicken, (really should be getting the spuds and carrots on now, me thinks) the rustling of Sunday newspapers. And if all these sounds where to stop I'd be listening to me faithful comapnion, tinitus.

    Right, off to get the rest of the dinner going.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Absolutely nothing, got my tin foil hat on.:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Listening to the drone of the room heater fan on cold, desperately trying to cool my dying PC. Must put on some music, I'm downloading 'Don't Stop Believing' from Glee atm.

    Cool, I am.

    "Oh Hai BRRRRAAAAAAIIIINNNNSSS"

    They'll be speaking in English, they're all pretty much fluent (the people who'd be interested, anyway). Accents, yeah, but.. what can you do. My friends here are massively into movie-making anyway but due to work/financial restraints just want to do something silly and fun, so when we were watching The Room and I said it'd make a great zombie movie it all made sense. :p

    And yes, it'll be made available online. :D

    Anyway, I digress! Totally OT now.

    my wife playing piano in the next room and

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    My aul man snoring on the couch, my sister with the hair dryer in the next room for what must be a good hour now, and the run up to the All-Ireland on the box

    All Ireland on the box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I can hear my nephews shouting and screaming, my family all trying to talk over each other, the telly blaring. Typical Sunday really..
