The Neighborhood Soundtrack

September 25, 20251 min read

Every neighborhood has a soundtrack — and no, it’s not curated on Spotify. It’s live, unfiltered, and occasionally questionable.

For years, my cul-de-sac was blissfully free of traffic. Kids could ride bikes in circles, neighbors could chat in the middle of the street, and the loudest sound was someone’s trash can rolling downhill. Then this past summer, the city opened up a once-blocked street nearby, and overnight my peaceful little bubble turned into NASCAR. Engines revving, tires squealing — I half expect a pit crew to set up outside my driveway.

The rest of the neighborhood chorus doesn’t disappoint either. Saturday mornings bring lawnmowers roaring like they’ve got something to prove. Dogs join in with their usual percussion, barking in unison every time the mail carrier appears. And don’t forget the Amazon driver, who slams the van door like he’s settling a score.

Summer’s headliners are the cicadas — nature’s very own maracas. The first time I heard them, I thought aliens had landed in Bowie. Nope. Just bugs. Very loud, very judgy bugs.

And of course, there’s always a wildcard: the neighbor with a karaoke machine and zero shame, or the kid practicing drums who sounds less like a future musician and more like pots and pans tumbling down the stairs.

It’s chaotic, it’s funny, it’s sometimes off-key — but it’s ours. These days, I’ve even learned to fold in the engine hums, tire squeals, and random bass lines blasting from passing cars. Because if there’s one thing about neighborhoods, it’s that they never stay the same — and that’s part of the music too.
