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 :)

Read somewhere that people get obsessed with finding quiet so they move and move but still end up getting wound up by the slightest noise.

Having said that anechoic chambers are strangely creepy and unsettling places- you need some background noise.

Anyone watched the Ken Russel film Altered States with the isolation/ sensory deprivation tank (admittedly drugs also involved)

The birds are pretty noisy in the morning here but lorries and loud bike pipes on the nearby bypass are the bane of my life

Had a semi 30's cottage- you could tell what channel the guy was watching next door when he wasn't coughing and almost rattling the windows- rent it out now as it used to really get me down (selfish git used to park in the middle of the loop access road and keep his tree surgery stuff everywhere; remember 1st day moving in and he said that's your spot! Tried to be nice but in the end mental health was more important.
