How Perceptive Are You to Sounds Around Your Home?

Do you really want to know what sound irritates me, I hope this won't get me into trouble! Honestly, I do enjoy sounds as long as they are soothing and gives me a peace of mind. Like the sound of nature, water gushing from streams, birds chirping, dogs barking (not always), the usual sound of people doing some work, that's what I could say is soothing for my part. But the least I really don't like is, my mother nagging early in the morning. It really wakes me up, with a bad mood! a radio played up early in the morning, in a very loud manner is what I also don't prefer listening to. It doesn't help at all, it only disturbs the folks that still wants to have some rest. There's also one thing that I thought I knew the sound of, I heard a loud noise one time from a place far away from our house. I thought I knew what it was, because our ceiling suddenly trembled. I thought someone threw a stone in our roof, but later found a smoke from the source of an explosive blast. I think it's quite difficult to determine sounds, especially when it came from other sources and are quite unusual. I find it also hard to describe human or nature's noises without even mimicking or putting up the same sound, I have to describe it in-person..

I don't think I could describe a sound, because I describe sounds using other sounds most the time. I hate the sound of the fish tank's filter and the sound of the pipes contracting and expanding. Not sure about calming sounds, music and silence are both quite calming.

Wow, what a really thought provoking and philosophical type of concept...really. We who do hear take our hearing so much for granted that we just don't think about it...but to try to describe certain sounds, like glass breaking or ocean waves?? I guess it could be the same for a blind person...while yes, we might be able to describe a tree for instance how could we describe the color green of the leaves of a tree? As far as sounds that annoy me around my home...well, this was true a few days ago..not IN my home but right outside. They were doing some kind of construction work in front of my building and using that oh, so wonderfully delightful, nerve wracking jack hammer and began early in the morning when I was still asleep...woke me up real fast...like why do construction workers have to start so darn early anyway? grrrrrr

breaking glass sounds like gravel crunching under your feet and ocean waves like soft whisper when you are asleep. A crying baby sounds like a high pitched piglet squeal. it is almost impossible really to describe sounds as we use other sounds to compare oh help. what sounds that irritate me most are the damned grass blowers used by the gardeners hereinour apartment complex and the car alarm that goes and goes and goes while some idiot is too lazy to go check his bloody car. Soothing sounds are raindrops against a window pain and a mockingbird singingto her babies, and a baby's giggles. also mozart's serenades an elegant musical feast

I am sorry but I do not think I am good at describe things. Describing a certain sound is undoubtedly a good challenge for me. What sound irritates me? The noise made by the students living in the opposite building is really annoying. Ever since those students moved in, that noise has never stop. Because of that noise, I can not sleep well at night and thus become more perceptive to sound, and then finding it become more difficult for me to fall asleep. That's really a vicious circle. As to the soothing sound. I prefer the natural ones. I do like the rain drop sound. I don't know why but it really sounds comfortable to me.
