My echo chamber bathroom. Where our house is located there are 2 main roads come together. The way the church, the rehab hospital are situated sound echos..especially in my "closet" bathroom. When I say Closet..I think it Was one at some time or other, but was made into a bathroom. The Shower, sink, and toilet are in a perfect row, and even has 2 doors like a closet would have. Anyway...
When Hurricane Michael came through, and we had no phone service for 7 days, after 3 days we could text. But I could only text in my bathroom. There was a Hot Spot close by and that was the only place in the house I could reach it.
But the bathroom has always been a place I could go if I heard noises, to find out what I was actually hearing. I can open my bathroom window and hear cars 1 mile away on 23rd st. I live on 19th.
There is a car repair shop across a street that goes behind our house, and in the evening, the guys will go stand around a car sometimes telling jokes. If I am in the bathroom I can hear their jokes. LOL It is both a Good thing and a Bad thing having this echo chamber. The good thing is hearing all the birds..the bad thing is all the noise at night. The best time I ever spent in that echo chamber is after the Hurricane...No electicity, so it was dark, I could text my friends, and the awesome Quietness..not much traffic...no AC units making noises, just peace and quiet.and fresh air with my window open to keep cool.

I would be constantly listening for noises in your house! When I'm alone that's all I hear are questionable noises!

A few years ago Tom was in the hospital, and I had not shut my bedroom door all the way (found out a few days later what that sounded like)...I was on the phone with my daughter and heard that noise...kept her on the phone while I went to check out the noise. Didn't find anything wrong or anyBody! But I took Tom's shotgun with me when I went to bed...didn't have my handgun at the time. In the echo chamber I am pretty safe, the noises I hear there are not close to me. LOL But when I home alone I hear every little creak in this house Day OR Noght. I keep Smitty close to me.

My house has a spot like that. We have a lot of windows. At least one on every exterior wall. I love it. Its set where one corner comes together I get both natural light and sound from both sides.

I know you felt like you were cloud 9 when it was so peaceful.
