This happened to me after making a rash decision about a new apt in NYC. When I visited to view the apt it must've been at a time when street noise / people noise was at all time lows. About a month into living there my work productivity tanked, I started noticing patterns of depression coming back and I legitimately started to hate my life. My sleep wasn't atrocious, but I'd be jarred awake in the morning by vehicles, had to wear earplugs at night etc. This drove me to a point of literally leaving New York entirely and I don't think I'll ever go back due to my current apt (in a different state) being completely quiet, having a dedicated dark silent room to sleep in and another room for working (as I'm full remote now).
