Noise issues
...I'm lucky I don't have any (well one, as I'll get to) as I can't abide noise; I think I'm acutely sensitive to it.I live above a convenience store which is handy when I need milk or some other item I forgot in Tesco. I'm so used to their opening early that I can sleep past it without its disturbing me.
Lately, though, they have a malfunctioning freezer which emits a loud humming noise at night - all night. It's been driving me crazy. The shop owner has reassured me that it's either going to be fixed or he'll get a new one. My bedroom is right above the shop and even with earplugs in I can still hear (more like feel) the hum.
Apart from that I'm fortunate in where I live - it's at a crossroads and near a couple of schools but just the one shop and not noisy enough to bother me normally.
Is it quiet enough for you where you live?

Re: Noise issues
Yes, despite living in a semi-detached bungalow, at night it is wonderfully silent. I do like silence, that is why I never have the radio on during the day. I listen in bed from 11-1 am and in the morning from 7-8.15 every day, but that is all. I hear the neighbour's TV in the evenings, but that is off by 10.30.Silence is golden.

It's quiet here, a mile or so away from the sea on the Lincs coast. Walk a hundred yards and that changes, but here is quiet. Apart from our local owl(s). Oh, and the foxes. And the magpies. Seagulls too. Next door's dogs. Fighting cats.
Maybe it's not really that quiet.
FWIW my son's like me Dreamy in the he too cannot abide the ticking of clocks; he made us take the battery out of the clock on the spare room because he could hear it in his bedroom.
