torkellYou never realise just how loud your desktop is, until you sit and use the laptop instead. Without the sound of all the fans and whine of failing hard disk bearings, you can hear other sounds...
The wind in the trees outside, the rain lashing against the window.
The low buzz/rumble of the kitchen extractor fan resonating slightly, varying up and down in pitch.
The gentle airy whirr of the laptop hard disk, with the odd click as it talks to itself.
The reliable tick...tick...tick...tick... of a small clock.
The 'tock' of a relay and the hum of a pump as the boiler preheats the heat exchanger.
What do you hear right now?

Central heating clunking a bit.
A door opening, then closing, keys clinking, and then footsteps going away.
I can just about hear the bass of some music, I think it's a from few rooms across on the floor above.
And in about 3 minutes I'll hear the bell - the clock chimes every 15 mins.
