What sounds do you commonly hear coming from outside your home?

[Reecejackox 404]

i would say its mainly people using power tools and birds twerping.

[Will Guide 21,362]

Basketball Balls bouncing. And on Tuesdays, Lawnmowers

[SparklingSquirrels 21,347]

Helicopters. Welcome to DC  

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Crows, sparrows, blackbirds, titmouse, pigeons, doves, an occasional redstart. There are also ducks, herons, and hawks. Herons really do make weird sounds. Something between a goose and a duck with a sore throat. Then there are cats and dogs. And field crickets. Sometimes there's a sickle cricket. Why yes, I do live in a city, though by most of your standards I might just as well be living in a village.

[AppleButt 8,676]

Coyotes, cicadas, birds, frogs, distant train, and cows. 

[DubWolf 17,303]

Emergency vehicle sirens, dogs barking. Later at night ocasional gunshots on the other side of the road  ...

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

The motorhead neighbor working on vehicles. At night some @$$ on a motorcycle.

Kids playing.

Mocking birds and morning doves.

The occasional crow.

Squirrels running in the roof.

[Ittoni 538]

Cars passing by sometimes. The neighbors sometimes chatting or laughing. Helicopters sometimes.... There's a thing outside of my room that hits the walls and roof but apparently there's nothing? I have to inspect the rooftop but it's kinda dangerous but if it's a ghost it's just fine as long as it lets me sleep.

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

Loud cars and trucks out on the busy road near my house. Because of this, I usually keep my bedroom window closed 

[ExplosionMare 18,072]

Loud cars and motorbikes, birdies, and lawn mowers

[DubWolf 17,303]

I live by a fire station, hence the emergency vehicles  .

Lawnmowers bouncing?

[SharpWit 2,697]

At our current place the day starts with the opening and closing of doors, cars driving off to work, the maintenance crew weed whack ing and occasionally yelling in spanish, crows cawing after a local hawk or each other for the first scraps of the day. If you walk past the pond near the mail boxes there's a pair of ducks quacking along, along with the daily traffic.

In the evening you can hear people chatting, music being played too loudly, or TVs through open windows, maybe a few birds and the Crickets out in the distance. The jingle of leashes as people walk their dogs, stomping of children up and down stairwells, cars circling desperately for any available parking spot then speeding off to the empty lots of the nearby businesses. Plenty of small airplane traffic as well from the local airport, the occasional train, and the wind on warmer days which really stirs and jostle the cheap blinds.

At my parents there was the sound of a few cars leaving. The buzzes of bees and hummingbirds with their territorial chirps. A neighbor dog barking at something, a car speeding on the main road, and then construction for new housing developments in the distance. There used to be ylthe cooing of Pigeons and screeches of Hawks but they've partially relocated and get drowned out by the work.

In the evening the neighborhood children are loud as they make the most of their time before being called inside, the ice cream truck makes its late run, and Crickets and Frogs will compete to fill the air with their music. A lone seabird that's chosen to live inland flies over a few times most evenings and calls out, while sometimes the coyotes and an owl sound off.

Today ? Bagpipes 

[Evil Pink One 13,507]

Neighbors shouting.... Dogs shouting, cars shouting. Wheels shouting.... my echo's shouting back...,a lot of shouting

[Megas 27,742]

My yapper dogs, semi-trucks and sirens. It's not the quietest, but it's better than that short time I lived in my cousin's apartment, which had lots of shouting and arguing, and at a couple of points had fences breaking and the n-word thrown around

No, just the sound of lawnmowers.

[Cash In 22,452]

Usually lawnmowers or cars, but sometimes it might be the kids who live next door.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,133]

I frequently hear foxes shrieking outside my window at night. Occasionally it’s joined by the quiet clack clack of a distant train.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,744]

Most common three things I hear on a near daily basis are:

• RAF jets
• Ambulances
• My neighbor's chihuahua

I hear something worse than a chihuahua, 7 completely uncontrolled kids that oh, as they're muslim (Nothing wrong with being a muslim but it's kinda important to the story), they get up for prayers, and as they are uncontrolled, they constantly make noise and don't settle

[Tom Gallagher 33,590]

My dog barking. 

[Vefka 1,499]

Emergency sirens (their amount was noticably increased after the school year started), car alarms, cars

Edited September 10, 2020 by Vefka

[IronM17 5,393]

Cars and Trucks from the Autobahn close to my village

Trains from the ICE-Line directly besides the Autobahn

Planes who lands in Cologne and fly over my village (my village lies under the air corridor)

The noises from the indutsrial center and some work construction zones

The animals in the forest directly infront of my house and the neighbours dogs (and there are a lot) 

But all of these sounds areat least not that loud (except the neighbours dogs and the neighbours construction zones)

[ToastedScone 397]

A lot of buses pulling up with school kids coming home (I live in a popular feeder area), weird drunk people yelling and peeing on the cars (apparently that's what they're doing??? I never actually see it happen) and LOTS of dogs! Almost everyone seems to have them where I live...including me!
