things have gotten sub-tropical in the chicago area. hot. sticky. murky. wet. pretty cool, but kind of gross. ah...summer.
finally, i've heard locusts in the area, sometimes faint, undulating, droning and simply lovely in detail. twilight is the best time to take in the drone. they are building a house across the street where i live, so it's hard to hear anything besides for the sawing in the morning; but at night, FANTASTIC!
so, how does your world sound? lots of traffic? birds? children? airplanes? that really strange squeel that a squirrel lets out? i'd like to know.

Good articles there too.
Also Earthear has a lot of field/environment/cityscape sound recordings that are more artistic and less simpleminded like new-agey recordings covered in cheap synth sounds.

I think people could learn so much if they listened to the sounds around them.
