Walking home and hearing only sound

Turning off your eyes and really listening to your surroundings for a walk from point A to point B is not something we are used to doing. We are extremely visual creatures.

But staring off into nothing while just focusing on what you hear is an interesting experience. Separating human cause and nature sounds, you find that in places like town sidewalks most of the noise is coming from people. But if you filter that out you can always hear something from nature. The wind in your ears, birds of all type singing, rocks and small pebbles scraping against the sidewalk as you walk across it.

Around 40 different sounds of unique design were heard on about a 15 min timeframe.
