I was just listening to the sound of a TV from another room.
My daughter plays her living room TV pretty much 24/7. We do not have satellite in our room and do not want it. We quit cable about six months ago and are happy without it.
Oh, I know. Occasionally I want to watch a weirdo rearrange furniture on HGTV, or watch a movie on Turner Classic Movies but in general I am happy.
She loves her TV and watches it all the time. It is going in both the living room and the bedroom.
So, since we are staying with them until we get an apartment, and if the door to our bedroom is cracked, we can hear it.
We have become people of relative silence in the past few years. Maybe the radio will be playing, but it will generally be soft and kind of background. We will watch a movie at night, but that is about it for the TV. I usually do a lot on the internet, but she doesn’t have internet right now, so I tend to do a lot of writing and reading.
The noise from the other room can get irritating at times. It is like being at the beach or park and someone is playing a radio a ways off. Or talking on their cell phone in the mall rather loudly. Or letting a big truck idle for a few hours. Or hitting me on the head with a small, annoying stick every few seconds.
After a while, you get to where you tune it out and don’t hear it as such. But it is there, always under the surface.
It is kind of like listening to an old guy gripe. Okay, I’ll shut up.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
