Having said that, however, sometimes, on very uncommon occasions, you DO get an answer from them that takes you seriously. I got a couple of roads in my area repaved from that.
It’s not bad here, it’s only sometimes but I’d rather not hear it at all. It’s interesting how differently sound carries depending on weather etc. We have a train about 2-3 miles away and some nights you hear it really really clearly (it’s a pleasant train horn kind of sound) and other nights you can’t hear it.
This may go without saying, but I'll assume that you're not comparing nights with open windows vs. them closed.

Youre in a different phase of your life than I am lol. When I was 20 years old I didn’t care either. I’m 43 now, and I care. So bring this on, I actually emailed the county department in charge of this and suggested locations.

I live in a retirement HOA and the old timers expect to sleep with their windows open and everyone to be quiet.
We've actually had a neighbor complain because another neighbor comes home late on the weekend from the bars and wakes them up. Lol

I don't open windows lol. I'm an AC guy.
If you're laying in bed and everything is quiet, then sometimes. Its really a bigger issue out on the deck. In the places they are talking about in that article though its a much, much bigger issue than where I am.

I sleep with a fan on so that probably buffers a lot of noise out for me

It's funny, when my sister lived in NYC and I visited her I actually liked all of the street noise at night for some reason and I actually slept really well. I did get woken up by the ocassional loud exhaust from motorcycles though but not enough to disturb me too much.

LOL no doubt, mainly because all is peaceful in the burbs until some a-hole with a fart can exhaust screams by. If I'm being honest I don't like any loud fart can exhaust when I am walking or driving. Annoys the crap out of me but a V8 exhaust doesn't bother me, it's usually just the 4 cylinders.
