It was very still yesterday morning at 5AM. Far away, about ¾-mile, I heard a Barred Owl calling. ("Who, who, who cooks for you", it called).

I also heard what sounded like a Waring blender -- right across the lake from me. It only "buzzed" for a few seconds, but repeated every 15 minutes or so. Once I had a bearing on it, I believe I heard an automatic bailer in an inboard -- ½-mile away!

(I've lost most my high-frequency hearing. My family can hear the sound that those electronic mosquito-repellents make -- I can't).

Contrast that with Labor Day on the lake when I had to hold a radio up to my ear in order to to hear it. Now that's a NOISE.(Apologies to Crocodile Dundee).

Boaters won't believe how their noise travels across water.
