Train whistle at the end of the Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds" is
playing as I type.. Other than that, nothing but the sound
of my keyboard clicking and my computer fan humming..

The cat purring in my lap, the computer fan, the hall clock
ticking.

My co-worker snuffling (he has allergies big time), computer keyes clicking,
fan running, me munching Frosted Flakes, and some weird crinkly noise,
which I just figured out is his computer booting up.

Copier fan, jet overhead, coffee maker down the hall, a little piano/vocal
from even further down the hall.

Computer fan, little clicking noises from the keyboard, and occasional disk
grinding and chair scraping.

Overly noisy bread machine kneading away in the kitchen.. Traffic
from the street in front of the house.

Dan! Another great item! :)
Seven or eight different printers, running at the same time at different
speeds, with different pitches.
A moderately quiet sea of keyboards clicking (I am in the middle of a 200
terminal computer lab).
A low chatter of voices, of different volumes, pitches, and languages.
The barely discernable squeak of the main doors to the lab, and the crash when
they slam shut.
Intermittent bursts of yelling or laughter.
The prompt <DING!> of the other power Macs around me.
Three people have coughed since I started this entry (that I've heard).
A lab assistant's keys jingling as she walked by.
Wow! I never realized how noisy this lab was!

I am in the basement with no windows or doors, and the only things to be heard
being my typing, and my computer. Otherwise, dead silence.
