The Gentle Hum of Traffic....

Murmer...sing...ring...ting!
The smell of freshly baked bread.
Moan...groan...hummm...trickle
Mum humming...child's giggle
Tear...whiz...whip..steak sizzling!
Brush...drip.drip..clang...rattle.
Creeaak..tappp..BANG!
A bottle popping..fizzing.. opening..
Thump..cough...waves crashing..
Water boiling...steam rising...
Bird singing....cricket chirping.
Traffic whirring...chopping..hammering.
Soft conversation. Band playing...
Kettle whistling...
Cars humming in the background...
Chirping, croaking , crowing..
Occaasional distant tapping..
Knife chopping gently on board.
Clinking of teaspoons and bone china.
Twang! Interlacing sounds woven.
Pitter-patter...rain drops,
Car approaching,dog whistle and bark!
Scratching..ascending...descending.
Strong smell of coffee wafting
Cool breeze gently blowing..
Train tooting!
