I live across from level1 trauma center with an active helipad, and across from a busy freight rail line where trains are required to sound their whistle as they traverse the level crossing underneath the skytrain (like a subway but elevated like the Ell) station, as tractor trucks pulling off the highway need to cross under and over to get to the industrial recycling plant.
At any one time we could hear road traffic, subways whooshing to a stop, a helicopter, ambulances, police escorts, fire trucks, and a 100db train whistle about 200 feet away. The guy driving the 3am train is a continual dick as he stands on the bleeding for like 10 seconds.
Sounds rough. But we got triple-pane windows and now all but the whistle is gone. And the highway is Canadian so it’s no big deal.
I can win this.

So forget the last paragraph. Do I win? ;-)
Buried the lede for a humble brag.
I live in a HOUSE in Canada.
Whoa Mr. Money Bags.
