We wake up in the middle of the night. Simultaneously. Just like that. Kids are still sleeping peacefully. All is calm. Very calm. There is silence in the room and the whole house. Real silence.
Due to an electricity cut all fans and airfilters have stopped working and immediately we have silence. But surely after a while the heat in the room hits us.
We have adapted to the constant sounds of the fans and air purifiers so much, that it becomes unnormal for us, when this soundscape disappears. An airpurifier causes 50 db and I guess a normal ceiling fan a little more.
It makes me wonder if I had been asked before without knowing what I would prefer: either having to spend a night with heat or noise? Today I go for 50 dB instead of 35*C. And at least we do not have to bear both: heat and noise.
