It is quiet during the day, until school finishes, and then the mayhem begins.

Noisy from my annoying neighbors banging on the walls for me to turn my music down. One can hardly concentrate.

Barking dogs. CNN in the background. CBC radio. Sometimes I like the sound effects of cooking shows. My versions of white noise
The sounds of a happy place.

| Different playlists | Dec 11, 2017 |
In my so-called workspace, the ambient sound changes throughout the day: background documentary on TV, not too loud, iTunes playing some classical, jazz or soundtrack music, neighbor below banging his hammer or pushing his drill into something (but they're nice overall).
Now, the sound inside my headspace is something else altogether…
