    Default What does your neighborhood sound like

    My neighborhood is pretty noisy, I don't mind it, I actually kinda like it.

    When I step outside I hear the dings of the new lightrail , I hear the train passing a few times a day which is about half a mile away. There are usually cars passing with deep bass. At night the hip hop subsides and makes way for some mariachi along with the soft hum of overpassing helicopters. I am about 5 miles from the runway at Sky Harbor airport so there is the constant sound of planes passing overhead as well.

    What does your neighborhood sound like?
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Exactly where I live is a nice area, pretty quiet, except for the fucking pigeons in the morning and some industrial strength air conditioners which I notice at night. And the sirens and overflying planes, which don't rally bother me. But a block away it's traffic and more traffic, but I don't hear that from my apartment.

    Absolutely nothing!

    I live in a subdivision that if you don't know where you are, you WILL get lost. People say it's very similar to the neighborhood in Edward Scissorhands but without the weird colored houses. The only time there is noise is when kids walk home from school and cars driving to get home.

    It took a while to get used to because I used to live in a bad neighborhood where people get mugged and beat up for no apparent reason. But the quiet life is something someone can get used to, at least in my case...

    Pretty much like birds chirping unless the asshole a few doors down gets drunk and decides to crank shitty 70's rock

    Pretty quiet where I am, the sound of cars driving past occaisionally but that's it mostly.

    Torquay is a quiet dreary little place really.

    Torquay....know it well as my mum and Sister moved down there about 10 years ago!
    When i lived bang in London it was crazy but i've moved just outside North London and look out my lounge window everyday to see horses running around etc.
    I work bang in the City of London so it's f*cking madness and so busy that it's a cool chilled out balance coming home to my flash new pad and horny as f*ck missus..
    Very happy in my life and where i'm living and i can be in London within 20 mins on a train!

    I hate it whwn people say that. Daxx I'm sure it's a nice area, but with all due respect that is just a little bit ... how shall I say... ok you pick a word. At best it's asking for trouble. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone on the news say "We just never thought it would happen here". Shit of the worst kind can, and will, happen anywhere.

    Not saying like when they go away or something....Just unlike in the city you lock your door the second you step in the nhouse...it becomes a habit...why because it is the enviorement you are in....I grew up in NYC for 20+ years.....Here people leave their doors open in the day...Run to the store and know a neighboor is out there and if anyone not from the area comes by they will say something if they tried to enter the house...

    Everyone here has dogs...most of them card carrying members of the NRA ( that part is kind of freaky).......Really is a nice place...you are going over board with my statement thinking it is like everyone here thinks it is Mayberry RFD

    Sounds great. I'd love to live in the country, but right now it's not an option, unless I want to spend 2-3 hours a day commuting, which I would not be able to tolerate.

    It's true, I lived in Kentucky for years and we never locked the door like Daxx said no one even thinks about it it's just something we never did.

    I rarely if ever lock my doors,just forget to do it,spent most of my life dealing with at least two deadbolts,so its a nice change of pace
