"What I Hear"

I live in a dormitory on East 25th street and 1st avenue. While the area is relatively “quiet” when compared to other parts of Manhattan, it is still quite noisy, even at night. The most notable noise is the highway. You can hear cars rushing by all day and all night. It almost sounds like a strong gust of wind that never ends. I have grown so used to hearing the traffic that it has become background static. Sometimes, if you go close enough to the East River, you can hear the sound of water splashing against the docks. It is not very loud, since the waters are mostly still. In the evening, the area is nearly devoid of people, but the footsteps of a late night jogger can occasionally be heard. There is a hospital near my dorm. I often hear the drone of ambulances driving by. On one side of the hospital, there is a garage for the ambulances. Sometimes, I can hear a loud clanking noise coming from the garage that echoes through the night.
