I hope so, I have no experience with infants or small children ๐ I just hope the parents can get enough sleep, being sleep deprived is
How do you sleep with the bar across the road?!
I have overnight construction works going on near me and the drilling and high pitched noise doesn't help me sleep that's for sure.
I'm used to it now to be honest - been in this apartment for 5 years this month, and prior spent 1 year in a CBD apartment ๐ The trains and the horns, the tram dings, overnight construction, hooligans in the alley, occasional methheads in the alley, ambulances in the alley, music from Sydney Road - it's all white noise to me now. The soundproofing in my apartment is actually really good considering its age, the outside world is barely audible and I've never heard my neighbours in their apartments, only when they are in the hallway.
It's funny, I find it difficult to sleep in quiet environments now, like camping or staying over in suburbia. Im much more hypervigilant when I can hear a pin drop ๐
