This will be hard to put into words. I figure it’s a result of climate change/global warming.

There was an eartheir note in the smell when I was a kid. Now I smell more clay and piss, I think the piss smell is from the insects changing. I smell less oak and a lot more privet. Less walnut and pecan sharp smells. Lots of a green smell that I only used to know in high spring. Fungus and wood rot way more often. Something like cut grass even in February.

There was a constant whine and buzz. It was a background noise and is mostly gone. There was always knocking in the trees and it happens way less. The ground had a buzz and shuffle that is way less, even though big beetles move through.

There are new whinings, there’s a deeper buzz.

It’s all subjective, it’s different, things have changed.

I’m trying to put words to this, but it’s like trying to talk about the way water feels.
