 Mercifully both houses are in quiet areas. Our main residence used to be in downtown Montreal and it was very noisy. It got so bad the city wound up putting up signs to remind the party animals that they were in a residential zone and to refrain from screaming in the streets... The house in Ogden is surrounded by woods and the nearest neighbours are nearly a mile away. Coyotes are the only thing we hear howling at night! | ||

Pretty quiet 
We too can hear the occasional train, even though they're pretty far from us too.
Plenty of nighttime bug/frog sounds In the warm weather. Whatever season foxes mate in, we sometimes hear them doing their scream that they do. That can be startling in the middle of the night! But I like critters, so I kind of like hearing them. One time, woke up in the middle of the night to an owl hooting. That was cool, but I haven't heard it since. Barry | ||

 I live next to a municipal pool, so like WayUpNorth it's like two different places. Noisy for 3 months in the summer (pool PA system, kids screeching, car stereos) and peaceful the rest of the year.
I have never minded the summer noise, I get used to it and seeing all the hot dads at the pool is a nice bonus.
Before all the new security lights and cams went up people used to climb the fence at night and skinny dip! | ||

Almost Silent! On Friday nights you can hear the high school football games and interstate 40 in the distance, but overall very quiet. | ||

Like wearing ear muffs I had insulation blown into all the exterior walls of my house to save energy. It's amazing how much noise it blocks out. | ||

Thank You for the Opportunity to Repost My Facebook Comment:
Two next-door neighbors moved out this month. These are the people who liked to have loud parties late into the night. So, for now anyway, no more loud, thumping, blasting music lasting until 3:00. No more drunken arguments outside my bedroom window. (Even when they had "conversations", their voices were to the level of yelling.) No more car doors slamming. When I walk the dog in the backyard in the morning, I don't have any bottles to throw back over the fence.
It is so peaceful now. I can leave the windows open at night, and get regular sleep. I can hear the lonesome wail of the train horns, a half-mile away. Too late in the year to hear crickets, although I have heard a few. Sure, there are still a few cars with radios, and excessively loud motorcycles, but they fade into the distance when the red light changes green. Only thing preventing absolute peace and quiet is tinnitus. Some people spend fortunes to retire to a cabin in the woods. I only have to wait until neighbors move out. | ||

 A busy FM runs along front of my property. Traffic slacks at night (until early-hrs work travel begins) but there's still the occasional vehicle passing at all hrs, including a few trucks. It has become part of the normal background noise after 13+ years. A bark-fest may happen among the dogs in the area but I don't much hear that inside. I always run a fan of some type, we had window units in my childhood home so the white/pink noise is required. | ||

Sorry Glenn, but what's an FM? What is the difference between pink and white noise? I have a background noise generator that was a survival tool in my former office where the normal tone of conversation at one end was suitable for a stadium or road crew and it had different colors of noise. Thanks. | ||

We live on a fairly quiet street. A majority of the noise comes from my neighbors. One family is stupid loud. Another has very annoying kids that are grown but like singing and screaming. I desire to live in the middle of nowhere once I retire. | ||

Me too! If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a mortgage and don't want another one we'd already be moved out into the country. David Crockett said that if you can hear your neighbor's dog bark then you are too close. I don't like being around people...which is why I work nights and do my shopping online and my walmarting in the middle of the night. | ||

Yes Gregg, same here. It would cost us more to live anywhere else. Savings is priority now for retirement. A little noise is acceptable, and a noise machine or a fan helps. This summer, out in the country, a woman was killed by a stray bullet from a neighbor practicing shooting. She was sitting in her living room chair. | ||

My neighborhood was quiet until it went through turnover. Now you can hear the young couples making little tax hikes. | ||

I grew up in a greater Los Angeles urban area. Being we were a long block from a major street and a mile or so from the local freeway, there was distant traffic noise (pink noise?) at most hours, except the early-early morning. With the exception of the nearby oil refinery "blowing up" 3 times during my childhood (once breaking 2 windows in our house) our neighborhood was not excessively noisy.
The neighborhood I live in now is also generally pretty quiet most of the time, but again traffic noise a few blocks away is often there (loud car or motorcycle, etc). Also, living on a hill, I find I can here things at distances that you wouldn't hear if on flat land. We also have the occasional "ghetto-bird" flying over or circling near by. When you cross the "border" into the next city, the neighborhood unfortunately, degrades more quickly then I'd like. 4th of July is interesting, in that it lasts (fireworks & other noise makers) from the beginning of June to at least mid August. Oh yeah, New Years Eve is pretty darn noisy as well. Fortunately such noises don't bother my dog at all, unless it's super loud as if across the street. Some friends have dogs that COMPLETELY spazz out due to such noises and are literally given a doggy version of valium for the evening.
About 10 years ago I discovered I can't sleep with the windows open (on warm summer nights, etc) not because of extraneous neighborhood noise that you'd think, but because of the crickets! The noise they make is just enough to prevent me from going into REM sleep (or what ever it's called) and I'm really tired the next day and it took a number of months before I realized that was the problem. Now if I do sleep with the windows open, I use earplugs! | ||
