I'm currently living in a town with church bells every hour and horses that clank by on cobblestone streets at every hour of the day or night. It's unbelievably noisy. But just like modern noise, at some point you stop consciously perceiving it.

- stevekemp 3y agoThe house I grew up in was immediately adjacent to a convent. They would have bells ringing around the clock. After a while you just don't notice, though I did often wake up during the night when we moved away from there - I imagine I was expecting to hear the bells and getting confused when they didn't ring. I imagine its the same as living next to train-tracks, or similar. Regularly repeating noises start to get tuned out.
