Yea, me too. I have learnt to hate noise. Unfortunately I live in an area that is quite noisy, and no-one would have guessed it by just looking at the area - parks, lots of greenery, a slightly semi-rural feel.
Unfortunately I live just off a road that is a main tourist road, and also contains 3 major nurseries, council quarry, council depot, council animal impound. The amount of traffic is just overwhelming for a small residential road. Of course it is hilly so cars and trucks accelerate up the hills, and noise echos through the little valley, and trucks use their compression brakes all the way down the 1.5 km hill which is about 90 seconds worth of noise for each vehicle.
Of course there are also all the idiot neighbours with their backyard accessory, also known as dogs, that are undisciplined and barking day and night.
Oh, lets not forget the flight paths over the house.
Yea, I have learnt to hate noise. I wear ear plugs to bed most nights and on many days when at home I wear ear muffs. If only I could afford to move.
