In the late afternoon, the electronic noises start. The beeping of a garbage truck when it is backing up, the sounds of an engine shifting into high gear, the beeping of a microwave oven. The sound is very loud.

"Can you make those noises any softer please?"

No, I can't. That is the volume that the machine creates. It can't be turned down.
