Karen T Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I had no idea humming birds chirped like that. Even my poodle was cocking her head at the audio. It is funny to me that so many of us were completely unaware of so many sounds of nature and now I find myself shutting the doors when tree frogs and crickets get super loud outside.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted May 22, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Here's a kind of mundane sound: I can now hear my husband putting packing tape on a box from a couple of rooms away. Lovely sound, packing tape. Jewel, Kara of Canada and Megan L. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted August 19, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 One thing I'm hearing this summer that I never heard before: cicadas. Apparently they're either extremely numerous or they're very, very loud. But they're new to me! Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, wait, we had one day when it was nearly 100. Maybe they don't need sustained heat to get loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted August 23, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Holy moly, but the ironing board squeals when I set it up! (And, yes, this is the first time I've ironed anything since I got my CI.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 23, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 We joked about buying stock in WD-40 after I was activated because I noticed the squeaks all around the house!

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted August 24, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Today's surprisingly loud sound: we have a 5-gallon tin to keep the (dry) cat food in. Guess what? Pouring a bag of kibble into the tin makes a LOT of noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, it was odd, not exactly like fireworks but a loud rushy/banging sound with a tinny component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted August 24, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Got another one today: there's a weird noise, sort of a background noise, and I couldn't figure out what it is. I'm sitting in my office, and one of the walls is all window (with a lovely view of the parking lot). And it's raining. I can hear the rain!

Daniel the Stranger Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Last night I could hear my cat breathing hard while sleeping. It seems he does that often when sleeping. I had to ask my wife to make sure if it was his breathing. Here is a pic of Figo: Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted August 27, 2018 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 @Daniel the Stranger quite a cute cat! I was surprised our cats snore sometimes and was shocked I could hear them purr from across the room. Congratulations on your new sound!
