leaf blowers, chain saws, fart bikes, diesel engines. There is nowhere left on planet earth that is free of man-made noise. Believe me, people are trying to find it. Also, there is a disease/syndrome/somedamnthing that causes sufferers to become enraged with persistent human noise. My sympathies.
I've often thought of moving here even thought it's only electronic noise.
