Hi Hazel! It's great but there is background noise. It sounds like night noises [an own hoots?] . Have you got a door or window open? Another way would be to use a noise cleaning tool in your DAW.

Could you please apply the above to the background noise and upload the link again?

I used the Noise Reduction tool in Audacity.
You have very good hearing. I know we have owls in the neighborhood but I can't find it in the recording. Maybe what you heard was the dishwasher. The noise at the beginning was when I was moving the microphone a bit.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my test. I appreciate it. I'm open to suggestions/advice you may want to share.

That is much better: that has reduced the background noise. Now you have passed and can find a project to record! Happy to help. Have fun!
