The noise of singing.

He awoke in the fuzzy half-dark of his room to muffled little noises. From the kitchen only a passage width away came the clink and the scraping of a pot in the sink, the discreet slushing rise in pitch of the tap water filling the pot, the tempered shuffle and heel click on the linoleum of his mother’s moving about. Up already, he thought. He listened hard for a moment. Her voice, still as young and fresh as a spring, gurgled in an endless flow of Yiddish past his closed door and into his room, punctuated every now and then by an indignant "Ah!" She was talking to herself. He couldn't hear what she was saying, but there was something wrong. He could tell.
