You know how it is when you've had a phone number for a while, you can tell the sound of those numbers being dialed even without looking. Here are some of my own familiar sounds:
5. The jingle of my husband's keys coming down the hall.
4. The hush of boiling water just before the teapot whistles.
3. The whirr of a Portland streetcar arriving, before it comes into view.
2. The clicking noise hot appliances make when they've been left on.
...and...
1. I can distinguish exactly which clackety-clack from the computer is my husband writing code, which is him writing email, and which is just his username and password being typed.
