Sounds heard from my balcony this week:

  • tram dings and trams accelerating
  • train horns
  • a man playing saxophone from a nearby balcony (I call him 'The Sax Man')
  • distant general construction
  • The Office (US) theme song from a neighbouring apartment every half hour or so
  • hooting and screaming from the social housing next door
  • helicopters
  • neighbour's dog barking
  • birds tweeting, mostly lorikeets and pigeons
  • nearby general construction
  • skateboarders laughing and skating below in the alley
  • ambulance sirens
  • two tradies arguing over something to do with their EWP
  • sounds of glass smashing and people laughing at a nearby venue
  • a group singing Happy Birthday and cheering
  • cars on the road
  • drunk people laughing in the alley, on a pub crawl
  • general construction on my building
  • neighbour's cat meowing
  • planes flying above
  • police sirens
  • the garbage truck
  • the motorcycle my neighbour drives and revvs in the alley like a hooligan (she is so lovely though ๐Ÿค”)
  • the downstairs restaurant changing their kegs over
  • trash being put in the dumpsters
  • the downstairs door beeping, opening, and closing.
  • real estate agents in the alley having dumb conversations during the workday

This is a sound picture. Lovely. Life happening all around you, and you can choose to engage or choose not to.

Beautiful! A much richer variety of sounds than I hear at my joint!
