Perhaps not all neighbours would agree that the sound of a fixed generator is beautiful, but for Fatima in Baghdad, where the energy supply is sporadic at best, it merits an audio clip on her blog.
"It cost about $400 [£216] for a new piece, and another $400 for one month's supply of diesel to run the generator," she writes on Thoughts from Baghdad. "Very pricey for the diesel, which normally should have cost one-sixth of that price, but we're happy all the same. Here's a clip of the sound of our generator [from] outside my aunt-in-law's backyard (where it sits). Just so that you get an idea of the beautiful noise that our neighbours wake up to in the morning and sleep to at night. [It] adds noise pollution to the whole mess here but, at the moment, it's music to our ears."
