Sounds from jungle

Mind, of the four neighbours I’ve had so far in this place the current one is the least noisy, so I’d rather he didn’t hurry to move out. And being gay cured me, by and large, of racism decades ago. But since said neighbour moved in I can better understand the racism of former colonisers. The sounds he makes when speaking, even in English, and in particular when laughing, do sound to my ears (which otherwise rarely hear any other than European languages) as something from a David Attenborough programme.
