This is big. If I had a fancy apartment in a good quality building, I wouldn't mind.
But the place I currently reside in, is really frustrating to spend your whole day. I can easily hear my neighbours talking, their pets, screeching children or construction work many floors above. The ceilings are also quite low, which amplifies the cabin fever.
If I could escape, from time to time, to an office where my friends work, it'd be increase my life quality a lot.
And I'm saying this as a person who's not a fan of offices and forced asses-in-seats.
- Apfel 6y agoObviously this isn't a permanent solution, but noise cancelling headphones have gotten really good recently. Sony xm1000 models and Bose could potentially go some way towards helping you deal with this.
- odiroot 6y agoI have good noise-cancelling headphones. They do very little for human voice and children shrieks. My in-ear stage Shures with passive isolation work much better but spending whole day in headphones is neither pleasant nor healthy.
