There’s also great clarity in the app’s design, not least in the excellent Upcoming view. You’ll revel in the tiny pie charts in the main screen that denote how complete each project is, the integrated Quick Find feature that helps you rapidly access tasks, and how intention-based tasks roll over when incomplete – rather than the app stressing you out by adding them to an overdue list. Further organization comes from tags that link arbitrary tasks, projects that collate and structure larger goals, and ‘areas’ to separate different elements of your life.įrom a visual and usability standpoint, Things is superb, with a friendly, almost playful interface. You start by stashing ideas in an inbox, and each can optionally have a hard deadline or a more abstract ‘intention’ regarding completion – be that today, tomorrow, or ‘someday’. It was extremely stressful, I became very noise-phobic whilst living there.Things manages to simultaneously be about small details and the bigger picture. Our neighbours on the other side didn’t run theirs anywhere near as often, but when they did, it would often get stuck by the pool steps, so was constantly “hammering” in the one spot, causing the reverberating tapping to increase in volume. We could also hear it in EVERY room of the house, so there was no escape from it. It’s all very well for people to say “learn to live with it” or “just ignore it”, but when you experience a repetitive noise like that 24/7, it’s awful - in our case, we knew what was causing it, which was even more frustrating in a way because our neighbours refused to do anything about it. They said they couldn’t hear it inside their house and only very faintly when they stood at the age of the pool (lucky them) - they didn’t give a rat’s about the impact the noise had on us. It’s certainly quite possible that your new neighbours have now bought a pool cleaner - we weren’t able to see into our neighbour’s yard either, as there was a 6ft fence on top of a 3 ft retaining wall between our properties, but could hear the thudding of the pool cleaner if we stood next to the fence when it was operating. It’s such a frustrating situation, isn’t it? It did take almost 3 years before we actually achieved anything through Council.
I really appreciate those who left genuine helpful responses, as a friendless nobody it was actually a little heartwarming to have a bunch of relative strangers trying to help me out, even if i sounded a little frustrated at some of the joke comments :P
TICKTICK WHITE NOISE UPDATE
Update #2: Thanks everyone for your responses, i have tried many of the suggestions over the past few days and had still not been able to locate the sound, but then i woke up this morning and it appears to have stopped! (at least for now). To the other almost relevant comments, i am not actually insane, so yes my partner can also hear it, and my hearing is excellent, had a hearing test in the past month.
Update: In response to all the whirlpool level, completely useless "funny" comments, a big, sarcastic thumbs up. I am all out of ideas so if anyone has advice i would gladly welcome it! I even used a stethoscope on the wall where i thought the sound might be coming from but it's completely quiet Removed every device in my room that could possible be running on battery power and making any sort of noise (laptop, UPS, etc) - made no difference Disconnected my NBN HFC cable from the main board outside - made no difference Shut down both mains water and mains electricity at the same time and ran water at a tap till nothing came out - made no difference Shut power off at the mains switch board - made no difference Shut water off at the main control - made no difference I have read lots about water pipes and such making noises, but no one ever describes them as consistent non stop sounds that last over a week. I have been unable to locate the source of the sound, though my best guess is it must be in the wall that the office and bedroom share as they are the two places it is audible. It is driving me nuts, as while it is a quiet sound, it does not stop, and is just invasive enough to be audible even while watching a youtube video or listening to a podcast at a reasonably low level and is audible when i try to sleep at night. It is a rapid sound that does not seem to vary in rhythm or sound level and is at a rate of about 5 "taps" per second. Best way i can describe is it sounds like a distant tapping sound, almost like someone tapping a wooden table rapidly with one finger, but much quieter. It is a quiet noise, but it has not stopped for over a week. Hi all, for the last week a noise has begun that is audible inside my office and the adjoining bedroom.
