Ha Ha,

Things like this can be so annoying. I have experienced things like this that you cannot just figure out. Such as like where a light is coming from and the sort. Its a relief when you do find something like this.

That so reminds me of the mockingbird in Failure To Launch.

I don’t know if this could be it, but when I lived in an apartment complex in Seattle, I heard cheep cheep and fluttering around—and finally located the noise to leetle birdies who had flown into the building through the louvered vents on the dryer exhaust. B/c they were in there, the sound was carrying through the ventilation ducts. It took forever to figure this out, b/c the dryer vent didn’t dump out in an obvious location (obvious to where the dryer was, inside the apartment)—but the louvered flap on the outside of the building had one or two flaps missing, and I guess in springtime, the leetle birdies found they could get inside. The sound was really annoying even though the cause was probably cute. The maintenance guys eventually fixed the dryer vent flap stuff and the leetle birdies were evicted. Sound carried massively from where they were to where I was – and I actually heard it in the bathroom best of all—which seemed to be a direct connection from where the bathroom vents were, to where the dryer vent was, or whatever. Hard to explain, sorry. But it makes me wonder…

There’s this thing you can buy at ThinkGeek that emits a randomly-spaced, randomly-pitched beep. Extremely small. Designed to drive a person bonkers. That’s what this reminded me of.

*cheep, cheep* Haha

It’s actually not all that weird that you would pick up random sounds from your speakers. My husband can pick up AM radio bands with his guitar amps, and then there was the time a voice came out of my clock radio even though it was off. Scared the crap out of me. Electronics do weird things sometimes!

Ugh. HATE mockingbirds*. Don’t promote their recreation efforts. Damned bastids…

Wonder why it sounded like it was coming from different speakers, though. That is odd, and it would make me feel like I was going crazy too!

*This hate is not limited to just mockingbirds, but most birds in general. Mockingbirds just drove me the most crazy when I was living in NoCal in 1998, so they have the distinction of being at the very tippy-top of my “Birds I Hate” list, is all.
