Everyday I wake up to this annoying sound of alarm ( sound 1 ) and look forward for a productive day , which mostly doesn't happen. At 5:00am  the temple nearby starts with its daily activities by reciting this hymn ( sound 2 ) . Then I go out to get milk and prepare my morning tea ( sound 3 ) , I can say that this is the fuel that keeps me up. At 9:00am online class starts ( sound 4 ) and continues till 3:00 pm. Meanwhile my mother gets busy in the kitchen ( sound 5 ), she listens to Malayalam melodies (sound 6 ) while she is in the kitchen  and I sometimes help her with the work ( sound 7 ), this is me chopping some onions. The Ta-dum of Netflix (sound 8 ) has become an integral part of our house since the pandemic started. Our neighbour's dog is restless and keeps barking ( sound 9 ) which has led me to a point of disliking dogs . My day ends with me bolting the door (sound 10) and going back to my bed looking forward to hear the annoying alarm again.

Sounds that define my home!
Family conversations- I asked my family to speak candidly so I could record them. But my sister's 'okay' sounded so rehearsed I ended up laughing out of nowhere. Anyways, that is my family.
Bell- This is the sound of the bell my mom rings every morning while chanting her prayers. It is an everyday sound as my mom never skips her prayers.
Dosa batter- So, as is in a typical South Indian household, we eat dosa atleast 4 times  a week. Either with chutney or with sambar, dosa is delicious.
House bell- So, the house bell being rung twice is a family secret in a way. It is to let the other members know it is one of us 4. W e do have a peep hole, but we still do this for some reason.
Mixer- This sound is actually the storm before the calm. It really annoys me, but the yummy chutney or milkshake makes it worth it.
Closing door- I make sure everyone who enters my room closes the door as they leave. Well, I make sure I atleast ask them. Either ways, since my family members enter and leave a lot of times  , this sound is often hear.
Mandram Vandha(music)- Music is a very important part of our house. At any point during the day, you can hear someone singing or humming a tune. Though this audio is recorded, usually we are all just yelling and vibing.
Fan sound-  If you listen closely, you can hear the slightly annoying sound of the blades. but at this point, i find that sound comforting.
Sister's sneeze- My sister sneezes a lot. Whenever we clean, we send her away to the other room so she doesn't blow the dust all over. I tries to get her to sneeze, unfortunately I could not.
Balcony noises- The view from the balcony is very entertaining. We can hear the kids screaming even from, the farthest room from the balcony. It is fun to just hear the intricacies of their arguments.
This assignment was really interesting to do and was filled with a lot of laughs!!!

Mornings are busy in a lot of households. Some are busy making food, some are busy getting ready to go places and some aren't really doing anything. My home is not an exception. There is a lot of noise in the morning. Some of those even simultaneously. The noises sometimes wake me up from my sleep but over the years I have learnt to sleep through it.

Speaking of sleep, my father doesn't like the idea of waking up early. He says that early mornings are the only time he gets any kind of sleep. I think it is true. I know this because he snores most mornings. And believe me when I tell you his snoring is enough to quiet down a horde of screeching cats. That's what my first sound is.

My mom is the exact opposite. She never snores and more importantly she's an early riser. A very early riser. Even though her day actually starts late she is still up way before than everybody else and sits in the hall. Once I thought her silhouette was a ghost and almost screamed my lungs out. She spends most of this time petting out dog TinTin and uses weird words to talk to him. I think it's very cute. That's what the second sound is.

Then the third, fourth, and the fifth sounds are my front door opening, my dog panting and the front gate opening. My brother is also like my mother and is up early. So he uses this time to take Tintin out on a walk. I do it in the evening. You could hear TinTin's excitement in his panting. He absolutely loves his walkies and we absolutely love taking him.

Then there is the sound that all four of us get annoyed with. By this time my dad is usually up too. Yes I am the last one to wake. This sound is the BBMP waste collectors. They have this truck that produces a sound that rattles your brain and a whistle that pierces your ears. Okay, I admit, they are not so bad. It's just that no one likes taking out the trash in our home.

Then the woman who maintains the building, Sarita Aunty, starts sweeping and cleaning the front porch. She finishes her task everyday with a beautiful rangoli. I think she is very skilled at it but she never agrees.

Every three days my dad buys flowers as offerings during Pooja. He sits in the little Pooja room and chants hymns. It goes on for around 15 minutes during which the entire house is supposed to be silent. Only mom sometimes takes part in the Pooja. Us kids never do. Dad is fine with it as long as we don't make noise. I recorded the sound of the woman from whom my dad buys the flowers since the Pooja time is eerily silent in our house except the hymns which understandably, I wasn't allowed to record.

Then finally, the sound of the neighbour's really loud car starting. We always make fun of the car for it's loud sound. The owner always insists there is nothing wrong with it.

These sounds maybe common in a household. But to me these sounds are what I grew up hearing. Any day without any one of these songs renders it incomplete. Sometimes these sounds do get to me but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
☆ 1st sound is the morning suprabhatam which will be played every morning by mom while getting prepared to do pooja to God. And this is the first thing I listen in the early morning.
☆ 2nd  sound is my alarm which remains me always that time's up wakeup and start your morning routine/daily chores.
☆ 3rd sound is the sound recorded in the window of my house in the early morning this sound makes me relaxed the birds chirping at the morning sometimes sounds like a song.
☆ 4th sound is the sound of my television wede after 7:30pm at night my parents and me will be watching the news updates.
☆ 5th sound is the sound of the water which is released by the water tap. This sound sometimes feel more relaxed by looking at water. Seeing or hearing the soothing sounds of moving water trigger a response in our brains.
☆ 6th sound is the sound of our housebell were only my dad uses while coming into our house or even sometimes guests also come. This bell sound remains me to someone is waiting out and please open the door.
☆ 7th sound is the sound of our wall clock were sometimes totally the house will be pin drop silent but then to the clock ticks this makes sometimes interesting because totally the house will be silent but only the clock ticks 24/7 without any rest.
☆ 8th sound is the sound of locking door this are sometimes most important things while going out or locking the doors at night for the safety.
☆ 9th sound is the sound which I hate the most at afternoon times sometimes I will be tired and sleeping at afternoon  but my brother never leaves me to sleep at afternoon by playing his game in a high volume were I couldn't sleep and be disturbed.

" Where words fails, Music Speaks "
I'm Gowtham Vinay Raj N from BA HEP. I'm glad to present my daily sounds of my routine.

< The morning sounds are always been my favorite. Every day I used to go for a walk in the morning to get newspaper. While I walk, I love to hear the songs of birds, sounds of cool breeze, pleasant silence around. Such a peaceful moment.

< After I get my newspaper, I return to my home. While returning, I come across my parish, where the Church bells would ring for the morning service. The sound of the bells gives a energetic feel for the day.

< Morning times are always been a busy moment, everyone in the home starts getting ready for their day. In the kitchen, my mom would be preparing breakfast for us. The heat and sounds , even the aroma of the food would create a busyness mind .

< My morning always starts with my best buddies, yeah! that's my kittens. They  just meow and cuddle around me. It makes my day happy.

< After some pleasant sounds, here some " Breaking news " . My father watches news everyday for current update. Though its good to watch news, it sounds like " Aiyoo again "

< In the noon, it's time for some race , vendors race on themselves who is great seller by shouting aloud . So it's a messy sounds around in the noon .

< Now, it's time for some laundry. Mom always does the laundry thing on the afternoon. The washing machine sounds like a train , where that " Chuk , Chuk " feel comes when it's spin .

< Now it's evening, where it's a playtime for kids , chatting time for adults, gossiping time for neighbors . Vehicle's sounds are heard a lot now. The horn sound of vehicle will be a quiet irritating but it's city so we should get adjusted.

< Oh my Goodness, for God's sake ! The most hated time ever is this Television time. My mom starts watching teleserial from 6 to 9 . So horrible moments is when my mom just starts getting angry on the villain in the series. " Arre ! Who damn this person is ? " . Even I get attracted sometimes to this series.

< I spend my most of my day in online classes. From morning 8 to till 4 , it's a messy time . Some are slow , some are fast , a lot of assignments, less of interaction. Some are too long , some are so soon. But it's my educative time where I get involved a bond between my teacher, friends and more.

< Once the sun sets , I hear a lot of " Ding Dong " yeah! It's Sandhya Vandana ( Evening Puja ) where people carrying a Aarthi in one hand and a Puja bell on the other ringing it. These sounds feels a time to relax .

< At last, it's time for a peaceful moment everyone loves to , it's sleep ! But Even night are also made horrible my some buddies. Yeah! It's none other than Dogs , when you go into a state of deep sleep, suddenly a " bow, bow, " howling sounds that not only disturb sleep but also gives a chill , scary feel moment. Just go hide under my blanket. Here it ends my day hoping for a better tomorrow.

>>During the mating season, peacocks are quite loud, especially when they call with repeated piercing cries. They not only scream, but the male makes a distinct sound immediately before mating with a female. Why do male peacocks behave in this manner? The sound reveals their position and may alert predators.

>>.When their calves were nearby, their cries registered at a lower frequency, indicating that higher-pitched calls are intended to inform calves that they are being overlooked. When the calves sought milk but couldn't find their moms, they let out an unique moo.
>>What is the significance of the Suprabatham song being played in Vishnu temples and devotees' homes in the morning?
In the Aagama tradition god is treated as a human.
He is woken up by singing hymns, bathed, cleaned, decorated with golden ornaments and flowers, offered food and is sung lullabies.
The Suprabhatham is one of the hymns sung while waking up the Lord. The first shloka of it was first sung by Vishnwamitra maharshi while waking up Rama from his sleep and the other shlokas were added by the later writers.
In these verses they praise the Lord as Krishna and Rama and mention His pastimes. They ask Him to wakeup from the Yoga-nidra.

Vishnu is ever awake as a poise of Consciousness.The wake up call is to the soul of ours bound in space and time to the puny intellect and snare of the senses.
Think of it as the call sent to our Jeeva to rise from its slumber and get performing acts of Dharma.

.>> My mother has never been a big admirer of cooking. In many ways, that was the impetus for me to learn to cook. On weekends when my mom was out running errands, I'd bake muffins, cookies, or coffee cake, experimenting with different recipes and procedures to see what worked and what didn't. When I did it, I used to believe I was on a food programme. I'd meticulously measure out all of my components into small dishes and chat to myself while preparing the meal (thank goodness no one else was home!). When there were additional baked goodies about the house, the rest of the family didn't appear to mind.
My mother has always done her share over the holidays by bringing something to the large family supper. I believe she appears to know less about cooking than she actually does in order to avoid having to do it, although she would probably disagree.
>>."I LIKE YOUR SMILE, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL" " WHY ARE YOU SO SILENT " " I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU" " CAN WE TALK?" from

A CAFFEINE LOVE STORY

For us Chikamangloreans, a day isn't complete without coffee. We simply need a small incentive to drink coffee so that when you chat to a Chikamanglorean, he or she will smile. since they had their morning coffee Donno just keeps our minds relaxed all day... and when it rains in our neighbourhood, oh boy oh! The weather outdoors is really beautiful...
>> When we're drinking coffee, how can we forget the tunes that my father and mother used to listen to... like we in this generation don't comprehend the actual words of the retro sounds is simply mind blowing that to 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's,20's tho just wonderful to hear Where I am now, I am hearing it in a loop. and savour my coffee
why retro songs
Retro style is a style that is imitative or purposefully derivative of previous lifestyles, trends, or art forms, such as music, modes, clothing, or attitudes. In popular culture, the "nostalgia cycle" refers to the two decades preceding the present one by 20–30 years.
>>so the awareness at the end BBMP
Many cities that are participating in Swachh Survekshan, such as Indore and Mysuru, have their own anthems. They are released each year based on the theme of the survekshan
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner BH Anil Kumar posted Bengaluru's 'anthem,' Jotheyagi, which means 'together,' online on Friday.
The campaign is part of the city's efforts to achieve a high ranking in the national Swachh Survekshan, which is performed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

Rashmi Nayak wrote the three-minute multilingual song in Kannada and English, which was composed by Saachin Raj Chelory. While Lucky Ali leads the male vocals, who are accompanied by the music director, the female vocalist is also the lyricist.
A bird's-eye perspective of the city's prominent buildings, flyovers, and places is juxtaposed with video of pourakarmikas, young social workers, BBMP officials, and residents working to keep the city clean.

While the Kannada lyrics suggest that residents should take effort to keep the city clean, the song also emphasises that the ultimate objective is to make the city 'heavenly' to live in.
"The goal of this programme is to inform, educate, raise awareness, and influence public opinion in order to assist the BBMP in keeping Bengaluru clean and green," Kumar explained.

It was early morning and the first sound that we can hear is the birds chirping, a refreshing moment indeed. Another sound that you can hear is my mother knocking on the door trying to wake me up so that I am not late for my morning classes. The cooker's pressure sound and the tune of synchronous cutting of vegetables can be heard as my mother was preparing breakfast. My neighbour is a musician and he is not shy to showcase this early morning, he is a talented drummer and quite loud, which most of the time annoys the elderly and hearing them scold him early morning has becomes a routine.

Once I am done with my morning duties, I hop on to my online classes and listen to different teachers explaining different concepts in different subject.

At midday, you can hear the vegetable vendor scream with all his might, about the different vegetables that he offers, you can see him over the window pushing his cart and people calling him out towards their respective houses. My house is located in a silent area and not much traffic can be heard, occasionally you would hear an impatient taxi driver honking his way through the empty roads.

During the evening the stray dogs and cats in the neighborhood, come out to play and they often get very noisy, but to my luck, my brother plays the piano which subdues the sound of the noisy animals. Fur Elise by Beethoven is one of the many pieces of music that my brother plays. Different days he practices new music which is very entertaining.

During the night  my house is so quiet that you can hear the sound of the wall clock ticking and water flowing in my indoor mini fountain and occasionally you can hear the sound of the helicopter and other aircrafts because my house is near HAL airport.

Sometimes in the midnight when everyone is asleep I secretly reheat the food. Due to the sound of the microwave I get caught and my parents scold which is hilarious.

Woken by the chirping of the birds right on the window pane beside my bed. Yes right then the alarm clock rings at 6.00 am. Mesmerised by the light breeze on a spring morning , I could hear the honking horns of the buses on the Main road. By now most of the daily wholesalers have already started with their day. Suddenly the door bell rings and the milkman is there at the door. When I looked passed the window and found the road very busy. Creaking, rattling, clinking: Our home is an acoustic adventure playground with a lot to discover. However, familiarisation has the effect that we often only unconsciously perceive the noises in our own four walls. Especially in times when we spend a lot of time at home, it is worthwhile to listen carefully. In this way, we can find the lost appreciation for the sound qualities of our home and add new elements.In our homes, we are constantly surrounded by noises, whether it is the buzzing of grandma's old lamp, the hum of the fridge, or the music from the children’s room. Silence rarely occurs. If we live in the city, jackhammers on construction sites, cars, trucks, and motorcycles contribute to the background noise. In the countryside, in turn, sounds of nature enter our house: , bees humming, maybe a cow is mooing or a sheep bleating on the neighbouring farm.
The noises in our apartment, our house, form a highly detailed tapestry of sound, the elements of which reveal a great deal about the world in which we live. Usually, the composition is complemented by the sounds of the outside world. As soon as we leave our home, we hear new tones; our workplace also has a specific sound quality. All of these sounds together form the soundtrack of our lives. In exceptional cases, however, it happens that we do not want to or even cannot leave our living space for quite some time: when we are sick, the weather is particularly uncomfortable or, as currently, in an isolation period during a pandemic. One of the biggest obstacles to satisfaction is the inability of appreciation.
We often assume that everything that is truly valuable is beyond our reach. Occasionally, however, we stumble across something that may have been right in front of us all the time, but which we have overlooked for years. And suddenly we see a whole new quality and beauty in it. How can we learn to appreciate what appears to be self-evident. There are several options, three of which are particularly suitable for looking at the sound of our home from a fresh angle.

Sound of Home.
I share a love-hate relationship with onions. I love the flavor they add to dishes but I hate how they taste individually. So when my mother decided to make Dosa with onion sabji, I had to record the event. This sound is how my mother chops onions. Slow and deliberate. The knife hits the cutting boards irrhythmically as the onion gets sliced into purple translucent discs.

When my family and I went to Bhutan, we were introduced to the magic of the Tibetan singing bowl. The audio next in line, is how the bowl resonates when struck with a wooden pestle. Before every morning’s pooja, my mother strikes the bowl thrice. And the sound travels through our entire house and calms our mind.

My mother makes it a point to time her pooja with that of the nearby temple. After her Tibetan singing bowl session, she sits and meditates as the temple behind my house begins its early morning ritual. The third audio is the daily morning keertan procession that happens at the temple.

After everyone goes to sleep at night after a long day, my sister wakes up at 3am. Every single day. And she will sit-up straight and sleep walk to the kitchen and fill herself a glass of water. She will drink it half and then keep the glass on the dinning table and go back to sleep. She then wakes up in the morning and wonders who kept the half-filled glass of water on the dinning table.
The next sound is of my sister’s nighttime quest; the sound of water.

On the eve new year, my sister decided to bake a cake. I found this to be a perfect opportunity to record more sounds for my project. And of all the sounds I recorded, this one made the cut. It is the sound of my sister dropping an entire shelf of cake trays. She was so tired by trying to bake a cake that she didn’t even try and stop the utensils from falling.

After the cake tray mishap, we realized that baking a cake at home is not easy. So we ordered a cake instead. Irish coffee cake from JustBake. This sound is of the doorbell ringing. On the other side of the door was the delivery guy with the cake. We were so excited for the cake that I couldn’t help but capture this sound that made our dopamine levels spike!

This next sound is of the landline ringing at 12 am on January 1, 2022. It was my dad. He called all the way from Tangdhar to wish us on the new year. We talked until it was 3 am. And I had ended up recording the whole call but decided to use only the ringing as that telephone ring was something I was waiting to hear since the day before’s morning.

While we waiting for the clock to strike 12 and for new year to begin, I decided to work on my project and I recorded the sounds of the grandfather clock that sits in our living room. The tick-tock of this clock has been consistent since 1940. It was given to my grandmother as a wedding gift and then to my mother on her wedding as well.

We began our new year with cleaning. And we decided to whip out the good old vacuum cleaner that was packed and kept inside a trunk. This sound is of the vacuum cleaner being used on January 1, 2022. The new year cleaning chronicles began with this sound.

And the last sound is my favorite. This is the sizzle on the tawa as my mother  pours Dosa batter. It is the tastiest sound ever. It makes my mouth water and even without a single clue, I can guess that this is my mother’s best cooked dish, DOSA!

And the list that starts with sabji ends with dosa, and the circle is completed. These 10 sounds define my everyday life.

SOUND OF HOME

Our ability to hear is crucial for providing information about the world around us. Sound is produced when an object vibrates the air around it and this vibration can be represented as a wave that travels through space. For example, if a branch falls off a tree and hits the ground the air pressure around the branch changes when it hits the earth and as a result the vibration of the air produces a sound originating from the collision.

In the same way the wave of the sound around us makes us to feel that something is related to us. And we feel comfortable with it. In this sound of home assignment I have recorded ten sounds from my home which makes me to feel this is my home when I hear these waves of sound.

So here I have recorded a parrot’s sound, my every day community prayer, our Christmas celebration singing, our house calling bell, mixie sound, tap water sound, washing clothes sound, our house frizz sound, TV sounds and calling bell sound.

I started to record the sounds which I felt and which I made me to feel that it is really my house. I am a sister I stay in a convent. Each day I observed the surroundings and I recorded each sound every day. And this is the process I used to record the sound.

We have a parrot at home, it is so lovely and it will exactly imitate us and it will laugh with us. So I love this parrot and even I go and spend time with this parrot every day.

We have a community prayer every day in our chapel. Hearing of prayers and songs make me to feel the prayerful surroundings of my home.

In our convent we had a very good celebration of Christmas this year. We sang Christmas carol on Christmas Eve. And this sound recording made me feel that my house full of happiness and joy that we share with each other.

In each of our house calling bell sound will be different. As soon as we hear it we get a feeling, this is my house calling bell. So as I it hear everyday my house calling bell it reminds me that someone has come to my house. This feeling of main made me to record this sound.

My house chicken mixie jar, frizz and tap water sounds are a remainder for me that some delicious meal I am going to get every day. And also it makes me to feel that my kitchen girl is preparing something for all of us in the community.

TV sound. Our sister watches every day news or movie. And this TV sound in my house I hear it every day. When I won’t hear it I have a feeling that something is missing in the house. So this familiar sound too makes me feel that this is my home.

At home we have got a laundry. Most of my sister washes their cloths with their hands. Sometimes it will be very noisy and we enjoy together by washing our cloths.

As I was doing all these recordings and writings it was really nice. And I was more interested to do even all these things. Recording sounds and listening to it and writing about the sounds gave me awareness that these are the kind of surroundings I am living in everyday. I really enjoyed by doing it.

In our day-to-day life, we often forget what’s going on around us because everyone is so busy with their schoolwork, college work, and jobs, or we simply tend to neglect the simple things that are going on in the environment we live in. The 10 sounds of home I’ve chosen are-                                                                 1. The sound of key – I chose this sound because the second thing I do after I wake up is open the door and get the newspaper and milk in. 2. Bell – this is the most common sound I hear in my house because my dad always rings the bell as soon as he comes back home after his work at night, I mostly know that’s my dad coz he comes back home around 10 pm.                          3. Lighting the matches – my mom usually prays every morning and on Friday evenings and she lights up the diyas using the matches.                    4. Lighting the stove – This is an everyday sound as we cook regularly, so my mom lights the stove using the lighter.  5. Mixer – this is a sound that I most probably hear almost every day while my mom is cooking in the kitchen.                                                  6. Cooker – this is pretty much a common sound I hear every day too. Because my mom never cooks anything without using the cooker. 7. Oven – I don’t get to hear this sound every day, but I use the oven to heat up the food or bake cakes, I sometimes lose patience when I’m waiting for the food to heat up soon and will take it out even before it beeps.  8. Washing machine – I don’t get to hear this sound quite often but when the washing is done, there’s this tune that plays at the end of every wash it’s quite addictive to hear.                                                         9. Switch – I use switches every day and I often hear the click sound of on and off and hence I chose this sound. 10. Running water – the first thing I do after I wake up is go to the washroom to brush my teeth, so I open the tap first and this sound reminds me of my mornings. As mentioned above we often tend to forget what happens around us and we are not that aware of sounds. But while doing this project I got to record each sound with extreme concentration, and it reminded me of the little things I do every day. I could have involved my family more; in the sense, I could have included the daily conversations, but I didn’t. I just chose the sounds of home by the objects. But otherwise, it was a fun assignment to work on, my family also helped me while recording some sounds.

In our day-to-day life, we often forget what’s going on around us because everyone is so busy with their schoolwork, college work, and jobs, or we simply tend to neglect the simple things that are going on in the environment we live in. The 10 sounds of home I’ve chosen are-                                                                 1. The sound of key – I chose this sound because the second thing I do after I wake up is open the door and get the newspaper and milk in. 2. Bell – this is the most common sound I hear in my house because my dad always rings the bell as soon as he comes back home after his work at night, I mostly know that’s my dad coz he comes back home around 10 pm.                          3. Lighting the matches – my mom usually prays every morning and on Friday evenings and she lights up the diyas using the matches.                    4. Lighting the stove – This is an everyday sound as we cook regularly, so my mom lights the stove using the lighter.  5. Mixer – this is a sound that I most probably hear almost every day while my mom is cooking in the kitchen.                                                  6. Cooker – this is pretty much a common sound I hear every day too. Because my mom never cooks anything without using the cooker. 7. Oven – I don’t get to hear this sound every day, but I use the oven to heat up the food or bake cakes, I sometimes lose patience when I’m waiting for the food to heat up soon and will take it out even before it beeps.  8. Washing machine – I don’t get to hear this sound quite often but when the washing is done, there’s this tune that plays at the end of every wash it’s quite addictive to hear.                                                         9. Switch – I use switches every day and I often hear the click sound of on and off and hence I chose this sound. 10. Running water – the first thing I do after I wake up is go to the washroom to brush my teeth, so I open the tap first and this sound reminds me of my mornings.
