sounds of my house

EEerrrrrreeereeereereeereeesseerreereerrrrrrrrr.
That's the sound of Baba's hearing aid.  Constantly.  He occasionally "cleans the pipes", adjusts the sound.  He mumbles reasons why, and motions with his hand like he'll take care of it, or some other open-for-interpretation gesture.  I don't know really.  There's a lot of things I don't know.

Shhhssht.  Shhhsht.  Shhhsht.  Shhtsht.  That's the sound of Gokhan dragging his slippered feet through the house.  I downstairs neighbor occasionally complains.

Ppppfffft!  pffffffftT  pfffft!  That's the sound of Anne cleaning her nose in the bathroom sink.  It's a cultural thing.
