I live in a VERY rural part of the US. When I was in college, a friend from NYC came to stay with us for a week in the summer.
He brought a noise machine because he figured it would be too quiet.
He ended up buying ear plugs because the bugs and birds were so loud at night. And he grew to hate whippoorwills.
I enjoyed that quite thoroughly.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoI live in a rural area. In summer I typically sleep with the windows open for fresh air at night... then wake up at dawn to close them because the birds are loud as hell.
- Loughla 3y agoMy parents have a wren that nests outside their bedroom. He has decided that the best way to sing is hanging off the window screen and pointed into the bedroom. It's amazingly loud as the sun comes up. I feed him because it's also hilarious.
- SamPatt 3y agoOwls can be surprisingly loud, and annoyingly persistent.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 3y agoI get barred owls around my place and they give me the creeps. Something in my subconscious knows they would eat me if they could
- mentalpiracy 3y agoWe have a m-f pair of great horned owls that live in the trees behind the house. Wild how loud they get at night as they’re patrolling the neighborhood together.
- smallerfish 3y agoTry living in a forest that has howler monkeys. You really can't sleep through it.

- markdown 3y ago> He brought a noise machine Is that slang for a radio?
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoNo, a white noise generator. May also generate other sounds, e.g. babbling brooks, rain on a roof, or other similar things.
- markdown 3y agoOh I see. There are thousands of youtube videos for that.

- jraines 3y agoI grew up in the country & enjoy the sounds mostly. Except the time I was camping and there was a whippoorwill nearby; I was just about crazy by the time the sun came up
