I have even googled bird calls - never did this before! Realized the 'unusual' birds I've noticed are quite usual for Tucson. Weird, all this paying attention due to this world crisis affecting so many...

​

As much as I appreciate the 8:00pm salutes to the frontline staff facing Covid, I've noticed it's throwing me off a bit when I'm trying to eat dinner or relax in the back garden. I absolutely have noticed birds more and I've done a little research even.

​

The noise of people around and everyday living is comforting to me. It reminds me that I'm not alone and that the world/life goes on. 

​

I feel more irritated by roommates’ noises than usual. Like there is no escape.

​

Definitely more peaceful.  Feel much better rested without traffic noise - sleep better.

​

I like it quieter. I can tune out, now I don’t have to.

​

I have always been very cognizant of sound and how it affects me, so the no change means I still pay attention and love quiet and sounds of nature. 

​

Appreciate the quiet - makes our daily walks much more enjoyable.  Relaxing nature of the quietness is calming.

Always loved the sound of birds, but appreciate them even more.  I wake as soon as I hear the birds singing in the morning!

​

I have been noticing nature in my garden for decades. It surprises me how the changes are so obvious. I wonder if they are, or if I t’s less human noise just allows the nature to be more obvious?

​

It would nice if we could just enjoy what's around us.

 

The more nature I hear the calmer and happier I am.
