It's 75 dB+ inside my home if I open the windows. Roadside it can breach 100 dB. I won't pick your comment apart as you did mine since in my opinion it comes off as rude. But it's weird imagining 'gardens' are pleasant only from the point of view of some weird caricature of Arrakis fremen when paradeiso was a Persian word. I.e., from nomadic peoples traveling the highlands and mountain valleys of central Asia. I hope you can escape from the nature sounds you find so unpleasant. I won't dispute the fact that soundscape preferences are subjective. We obviously disagree on that.

So, it is not a matter of choosing "a hit in the head or a poke in the eye", it is that sounds can be annoying, you have to be proportionally thick skinned to bear them, whatever they are, it does not matter if artificial or natural, it matters if the pattern rhythm insistence frequencies and loudness are more disturbing than not. > It's 75 dB+ inside my home if I open the windows. Roadside it can breach 100 dB You are strongly suggesting that your diet overly rich in salt makes you crave for sugar... But it remains like in Bertrand Blier's Buffet Froid: "It's the cement everywhere, the city, the alienation, that is making me insane! I want to hear the birds...". Next scene: all laying in the countryside. "It's humid!..."
