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 🤔)
• 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
