The 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.
