sounds annoying

fire trucks. i never know where they're coming from. at first, i think it's the radio so i turn it down. nope, not the radio. it's getting louder but i don't see it. talk about distracted driving! and in an emergency, no less!

that "backing up" sound. that "beep beep beep" my-truck-is-backing-up sound.

someone clearing their throat. i mean, clearing their throat of what? eewww!!

the guys who live above me and either they a.) practice their gymnastics floor routine 24/7 or b.) they seizure and fall down. a lot. or c.) they are clairvoyant - they knew i was gonna one day write a post like this - and they wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

cell phones ringing. whose is it? nobody ever knows.

at last count, there were 1, 756 different beeps in the world. every last one of them an. noy. ing.


i visited joshua tree national park in joshua tree, california once. it was the quietest sound i had ever in my whole life heard. it sounded like......nothing. dead, quiet nothing.


actually, it sounded like snow.


falling.
