Considering how little concern people put into it (eg: how difficult it is to handle disruptive neighbors at night, how little concern is put about noise near residential areas, etc), we sure as hell need more of those studies.
Because as of right now, nobody cares.
- overcast 10y agoHandling disruptive neighbors at night is easy, I just call the police. Has worked every time.
- prophesi 10y agoIn my area, you're allowed to have the police called on you three times in a night before anything is done about it. And my brother in some suburb in Miami, he can call the police as much as he wants and nothing will be done about it unless the disruptive neighbor goes over the decibel limit or shows aggressive behavior. He ended up having to move out of that neighborhood since he had a belligerent neighbor that would drink beer, rev his bike, and blast metal every other night while still technically abiding by the laws.
- overcast 10y agoThat's unfortunate. I'm in the burbs of upstate New York. They arrive in about fifteen minutes.
- saryant 10y agoI have chronic anxiety. Last year I moved to a new apartment and—more importantly—to a quiet side street. My old apartment was right on the busiest road in town. After a few days of adjusting to the new noises, my quality of sleep dramatically improved and my anxiety attacks became less frequent and less severe. Not eliminated but much more manageable. The importance of quality sleep is vastly underestimated. (Data is not the plural of anecdote blah blah blah).
- rhinoceraptor 10y agoI sleep with an eye mask and ear plugs every night. Once you're used to that, it's pretty hard to fall asleep without them.
- sundvor 10y agoYeah, something similar - started sleeping next to an air purifier (white noise) and pulling a 2nd pillow on top of my head for additional random noise suppression. I struggle to sleep without this, unless I'm wrecked with exhaustion from exercise. Wish I had thought of the 2nd pillow in my younger years..
