@apogeesys asked:

Do you have a favorite mundane sound? Like the hum of a transformer box or the sound of a certain engine or flowing water, those sorts of things.

There's quite a number, including flowing water, the swishing of wind in pines, the crunch and crumple of wodd fire, anything outdoorsy and natural, and sometimes the resonance of fans, that hum makes such a fine droning sound at often pleasant frequencies

But one that borders on not being mundane is very specific. Anywhere where high-rise power lines on those big standing Towers hang a bit low, you will hear this elusive hum and crackling noise from the sheer amount of power travelling through them. To me, it is transcendent, and I can think of few other noises on this earth that can compare to the way it stands my hairs on end and activates deep and forgotten parts of the mind and soul.
