Barking curiousity
little snowy footsteps
Trucks Roar
machines vibrate
woof woof
rumbling engine
whistle
come on this way
tires snowy slush
talking jabber
running
throaty breath
jet planes
dripping melting snow
digging
whistle calls
collars tink tink
panting
wood beams bump
shaking dogs
pile driver in the distance
ripping tires through puddles
NO!

High frequency whistling
rumbles through building from below
creaking wood
muffled voices through walls
Noisy VAC
Juicy throat swallowing
Heartbeat thumping
