Sounds And The Art of Listening

Published: Oct. 5, 2022, 7 p.m.

b"This week, GamerDude decided to try something a little different. He's slowed things down a little, and taken some time to talk about the lost art of listening. He remembers the sounds of the neighborhoods he's lived in, and grown up in, from the lawn mowers in the distance to the barking dog two blocks over. He remembers the sounds of the garbage trucks, and the train whistle miles away, and he talks about how sitting and listening to those sounds was like listening to the heartbeat of your neighborhood.\\xa0\\n\\nGamerDude also talks about the heartbeat of nature, and the sound of the bugs, and the birds, and the breezes. He also talks about sounds that are distinctly night-time sounds, and how you can always tell it's night-time just by the sounds you hear.\\n\\nGamerDude also shares some of the sounds that were an ordinary part of his life that are slowly fading from the world.\\xa0 He talks about, and shares sounds from, rotary phones, manual typewriters, and doorbells.\\xa0 And what episode about long lost sounds would be complete without the sound of the old dial-up internet connection?"
