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

This is a sound picture. Lovely. Life happening all around you, and you can choose to engage or choose not to.

Beautiful! A much richer variety of sounds than I hear at my joint!
