My microwave beeps at 2450 MHz. Reheating cold coffee.

The washing machine thumps and sloshes, spinning my socks.

Fluorescent bulbs in the office flicker and buzz.

My stomach gurgles, digesting lunch.

Power lines hum outside my window.

My joints crack as I stand up from the couch.

The refrigerator compressor kicks on with a low hum.

Traffic outside creates a constant, distant roar.

The ceiling fan whirs, pushing air in lazy circles.

My computer’s hard drive whines as it spins up.

The heating system clanks and whistles as it warms the house.

Raindrops tap a random rhythm on the windowpane.

The neighbor’s lawnmower drones on a Saturday morning.

The dishwasher swishes and sprays, cleaning last night’s plates.

My smartphone vibrates, alerting me to a new message.

It’s all music. It’s all us.

Listen closely. The symphony never stops.
