    Sound like you may have grown up somewhere loud. Out here, 35db and below is normal. It’s that quiet outside at night, in most houses, in classrooms etc.

    Obviously the occasional fart and talking student isn’t part of external noise pollution

      Swing and a miss. No biggie.

      Grew up off the beaten path with redwoods and a creek in the backyard.

        You never went to school or grocery shopping? I mean more than just the house you lived in

          Preschool was on a hill next to a cemetery. (Really creepy now that I think about it) Elementary was next to orchards, middle school by a post office and community center, high school had more traffic nearby but still never a distraction.

          I don’t live there anymore, more big city vibes, but it’s all background sound.

          Of sounds that stand out right now, we have airplanes and sirens as the distractions. Car noise is insignificant.
