Ohhh yeah. I've had those, some similiar to the one in your case. On
occasion some construction noises have blended with ambient music I'm
listening to with quite a pleasant outcome. Sometimes those sounds
itself are the music. Without any accompanying sounds, just distant
noises can make for an intriguing pulse which can even evoke musical
inspiration. Perhaps every ambient composer should have their own studio
equipped with square miles worth of natural landscape with accompanying
construction sites for sound generation, manipulation and recording.

Btw, I hate to bring the issue just out of the blue but I think it needs
to be commented on. Some of the messages sent to the list are flooded
with garbage like HTML code or binary data. This is likely because by
default the e-mail application sends messages formatted in HTML. The
feature can usually be switched off. I'm starting to think the main
problem is with the mailing list software which presumably just converts
HTML code to text resulting in posts filled with garbage. Am I on to
something here or is my e-mail client just misconfigured?

Or, as I've heard it said from the old Hibernian sod:
"Gargling Money"
by S. Woon

But soon and sadly, like all the rest I fear,
He'll sag and start selling stuff...?or maybe not! We'll see.
One day too may choke he
at the bank with crowds
while hosing a dose.
and the ambient music becomes more so,
in the dust, never heard.
How sad!?

And awfully too,
the stores all suddenly closed.
So everyone went home and?cried, "What'll we do?"
Then Gramma said,
"Why there's some perfectly good ambient music being wasted right now!
It's playin outside the winder all the livelong day,
but nobody's fer listenin', catscratchit!"
So they did.
And although they were a little bit scared,
and then a little bored,
they all slept well.
Even wee little ____, the busiest one.
So ye now, cuddle doon, little bairnies
