What’s your obstacles on the way of listening

Summer time is coming, birds are going crazy, saws and grass cutters are buzzing, hummers are knocking, leaves are rustle... what else is on the way of your listening? ... my best season of listening is Christmas time and fallowing couple of months. Looks like Arctic Circle geographically the best place for critical listening:)... lucky Alaskans and North Canadians :)

Thank you. It isn’t electrical... I have a direct line. It is the very slight background noice. My listening area is dead silent... well, except when the fan is running in the air conditioning. But I can always turn it off for a while.

I am lucky our house has a daylight basement where my audio system is located. . My listening room is essentially underground and in a sprawling space so the acoustics are fantastic. My lawn guy can be right outside on the daylight side and it is barely disurnable.

However, the as quiet the heat pump is, in an adjacent room,  it still clogs the soundstage when on... summer for the heat. I have a separate headphone system to listen in the evenings when the air conditioning is on. Mornings, it typically is not.
