No, in warm seasons when my windows are open just crickets, leaves rusting in the trees, and birds. I live in a very quiet rural area (minimal road noise). I love camping near running water, but silence is nice too. You can't shut off a natural brook. This time of of year does not matter anyway, my windows are all shut due to cluster fly season. Bug screens do not do squat for keeping them out and they are really bad this year. Winter time my house is shut up too. I can hear jet skis and motor boats on Lake Champlain in the summer time though, which is about 0.3 miles from my house. The motor boats themselves are probably a couple of miles away, but sound really carries across open water.
