Noises

I'm not sure what or why my mind and body work the way they do- but such is life, no? And for some reason it has been designed within my body that random and unexplained noises to drive me freaking loony. I have no thoughts on why this happens. But without fail: whenever someone somewhere is playing their music excessively loud, whenever there is a carpet cleaning truck cleaning carpets somewhere in my apartment complex, and whenever a garbage truck enters our neighborhood--not only am I keenly aware of the noises that these events make, but I am seriously annoyed at this presence of sound.

This is why I was very perturbed to discover something about my small aquatic pet frogs. I've had these frogs for years. There are three. They are small, cute, easy to take care of, and they only require that you change their water every other week and feed them daily in order to be happy. They are fairly tiny animals- being about the size from the top of my thumb to just below my knuckle. In fact- I have procured a picture from google that illustrates about what they look like:These frogs provide me with a basic source of entertainment. They swim around their little fish bowl (yes, they live in a fish bowl-what a wonderful life) and will sometimes float at the top of the bowl (which I find very entertaining). However, I have recently discovered that these cute little darlings also CAN, if they so desire, make a soft, high pitched, noise. Boo.

Sitting in the living room more recently, my ears picked up a rather annoying noise. It wasn't a loud noise, and nevertheless and notwithstanding it being a small noise- it did pierce me to the center and cause my senses to burn. I wanted to know the source of the noise and for the noise to go AWAY. Upon a bit of research- the conclusion was drawn that it was the FROGS making this noise. The noise can be discouraged by blowing on the water, picking up the bowl, or in some other way disturbing them-- but personally I find it rather strange and weird that they make any noise at all. I know Bullfrogs make noises, but these are tiny African, aquatic frogs! What the jones is up with that?
