Meanwhile, as a born-and-raised ruralite now living in a city, I'm much more bothered by upstairs neighbors and loud car noises at night than I ever was by livestock noises - only possible exception being the time I tried raising pygmy goats for 4H, but that was more a "what the fuck y'all want now?" kind of annoyance than them actually keeping me awake.
I guess if you're used to one sort of noise, any other sort of noise will feel more alien.
- cafard 5y agoMy wife used to have meetings in New York, and for reasons that seemed adequate then we would stay at a hotel in the 50s, where the floor never seemed high enough to set away from dumpsters squealing on the street and compressors running on roofs. Once we moved to a higher floor, then thought we'd left something in the old room. The security guy who let me to look around said that as a born New Yorker he had had trouble sleeping in the quiet of an army base in the southwest.
