When I bought my retirement home years ago, I considered many things, but one of the things that I didn't pay too much attention to was the level of noise in the area. To my delight I later discovered that my neighborhood is very quiet. I didn't realize how much background noise had been present in my former abodes until it wasn't there. I live on an island where there is only one main road and I live near the end of it; therefore, there is almost no traffic noise. When I leave the island, I notice the constant drone of traffic noise that I was totally oblivious to before.
