To audio enthusiasts, this term refers to a technique for enriching the fidelity and depth of sound reproduction through the use of multiple audio channels from speakers that surround the listener.
I am not into sounds. A hearing impaired senior shuts out audio from her daily repertoire. But sounds have forced their way into my ears—everyday, except Sunday, since repairs/renovations of our 48-year-old house started in June. This is my version of surround sound.
Imagine a cacophony of different grating sounds from power tools such as drills, saws, routers, nail guns, air compressors, planers, sanders, grinders, and scrapers!
The mess does not affect me as much as the sounds do. I could always ignore, skip, jump, walk on and around heaps of mishmash.
But the surround sounds? Well, I guess that’s why they are called such. They besiege, encircle, assail, and hem your ears in.
The good news is, there will be an end to it all. The contractor promised “Before Christmas,” when grace was birthed for man and therefore celebrated. What’s two more months of surround sound?
