Working from home; they've had one confirmed case of COVID in my town, and the presumptive case they had on Monday appears to have been ruled out, at least according to the town web site.

For those of you looking for a little auditory chill while you work from home or shelter in place or otherwise do things that involve not interacting with other folks in meatspace, may I suggest a visit to mynoise.net? All kinds of online sound generators to run in the background and help keep things on an even keel, including simulated coffeeshop and chatter noises, space sounds, and nature background noises. From the Swiss audiologist who gave us Purrli, the internet cat purr generator.

Ooh! Are there crickets/other nightsingers circa northern summer? Because I'd be tempted by that.

I believe Summer Night, Meadow Land and Mountain Pasture all involve crickets. There's also one that's nothing but frogs, if you're into that, and a few different ones from various kinds of forest. Each of the sound generators has ten distinct sliders for adjusting pitch, prevailing sounds, etc.- a few of them like Aotearoa have a single slider that lets you adjust how prevalent you want the insect sounds to be, while the other sliders control things like the wind noise or specific bird calls, etc. He has a couple that're different kinds of rainforest or jungle sounds, too.
