your topic caught my attention coz we have been hearing a strange sound at night but we can't figure out what it is and where it's coming from. It sounds like an old,squeaky electric fan but it's too loud and it's not coming from inside our house. I really can't say what it is. It's bothering me.

The primary noise I hear is of the street dogs! Man!!! What do they bark at? The road’s all empty that late except maybe a truck or something but they keep on barking. And you know how they are…one dog starts and soon the entire pack is howling down the alleys! They disturb me a lot. And winter’s coming, so I am bracing myself for my hubby’s snoring…he CAN snore alright!!!LOL

Your question seems so funny to me. when i got sleep i cant hear anything coz i am sleeping and i am hearing all such noises that means i am not sleeping. I dont mean to make fun of you but when anyone gets sleepy he cant hear anything. My surroundings are so peaceful i dont have such pre sleeping problems.

Now its good much specific. I dont have such problems with me on regular basis. I have a peaceful surroundings but on special days or events peoples do some fun in their own houses and it doesnt disturb much others.

here in my places is a mixtures of different cultures and so far the noise or rather the sounds which I hear everyday is the chanting of prayers in a loud speaker for the Islamic faithful. All the rituals is done 5 times per day and if your house have no sound proof. You could hear all the loud full volume singing rituals..so it would really disturb you good sleep as even in 4 am in the morning it all begin, then every 6 am, 12 am, 4pm then 6 pm again everyday.. So if you are not get used in hearing it you would really feel annoy. as their church is built near the community..it is heard everyday in full volume..

Sometimes I can hear crickets' sound. As for frogs croaking, yes I heard especially, during rainy days, but rarely. My neighbours are understanding, no karaoke singing, no loud tv on. One or twice my neighbour have parties that extend beyond midnight, but he apologized the next morning. Pleasant dreams.

I usually hear crickets chirping. It's cold where I am, and I think a cricket has gotten into the house. I sometimes hear my cats playing. They like to jump from the window and bed in the guest room, then fly up and down the stairs. Sometimes I'll hear trains as well. My neighborhood is pretty quiet. I'm probably the noisiest one living there. LOL!

I have peaceful neighbours, so no noise from then usually, just the odd party sometimes. I dont hear many noises when I am in bed. Sometimes the air conditioner can get a bit noisy or the door can swing a bit or the birds can make some noise very early in the morning, other than that everythings is fine. you must be having a very tough time trying to sleep.

hi acie,
yes i can also hear those frogs during night specially if it rain the whole day.. the karaoke also is present and very very noisy, and seems they don't know that they don't have those good voices but they always keep on singing.. i can also hear the barks of the dogs, the different barks that seems they saw a monster, hahaha.. or a lady walking wearing a white whole dress... so ridiculous but i can really hear them all, and because of that i can have a sleep less nights..

Nice discussion. Hi acie. Coming back to mylot since I was out for some days.
I sleep during the day, because I work at night. So, what I listen to when I sleep is the busy day of everyone else. I hear people moving their cars to go to work, kids getting ready for school, an argument here and there from a neighbor, my mom downstairs, but what I love to hear is when I hear my son playing with her grandma. It makes me feel at ease. And yes, I DO SLEEP! hehehehe... Im so tired from work that I just feel drained once I come home.
The seldom times I sleep at night, I only hear the noise from my fan and nothing more. So I play some music to help me go to sleep. The neighborhood is very quiet. No parties no nothing. I play anything from loud metal to soft baby music and it works.

Hi,
Its because maybe your living around bars.. for me what annoying is the neighbors who's parking their truck and their workers keep on shouting and laugh around until am.
Its not like this before since our street is one of the most quite place in the subdivision but since we had this insensitive neighbor who'se unfortunately one of the councilor in barangay... they really get the street from quite place to the noisy one.

I guess in a way I am lucky. I am deaf in one ear and I sleep on the good one. I only hear certain frequencies in the bad ear, the sounds in those frequencies include certain birds chirping, whispering and water dripping.
The whispering is weird, people whisper and I hear it, they talk normal and I don't.

My deafness is a result of surgery a had. An unfortunate side effect. I was one of the unlucky 1% who suffers this.

Are u sure that's night time and not morning?? lol =D All those mentioned are supposed to take place in the day and not night, except for the frogs.. lol =D I think it's time for u to change your sleep routine, to suit them instead.. hehe ^_^
As for myself, most of the time, i can only be hearing the sound of my aircon, if not cars whizzing by, or stray dogs barking, which is the worst of all.. haha =D

No I don't. i didn't even know what it meant until I was in college and had heard it for the first time. And I always wondered why stinky feet have to do with dogs barking.

These few days I heard the beautiful songs from frogs too, and a lot of people play fireworks as is the day of Deepavali, and my neighbors sing karaokes too(Indian songs). My baby can not sleep until 1 am, I need to close my windows and doors to not hear the noisy sounds so loud. Happy mylotting.

Great discussion, acie_21! :) At night I usually hear crickets (unless it is winter), dogs barking, cats fighting, a neighbor's cow, and highway noises. Sometimes my neighbors keep the whole block awake reving their car, truck, and motorcycle engines. Every once in a while, someone will have a party or fight, and I can hear that too.
I always keep the ceiling fan on in my room, so I hear its hum along with my cat purring and my dogs snoring. Overall I live in a pretty quiet area, good for sleeping.
