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!
