A brief explanation of why I often can't sleep or can't work in my room:
Ah yes, the bottle dumping. This happens at LEAST three to four times a night on the weekend, usually just past 2am. This, of course, is not quite as loud though as the garbage truck that comes around 5:30am to dump the whole lot again and then CRUSH everything, beeping as it both arrives and pulls away.
The drunks/dogs barking always add some color to the night life too (you can hear this guy hollering off and on at a dog barking in the distance). Unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to capture the club music we get to listen to as well.
And if the night weren't enough... how about some soundtracks for the day time?? THANK YOU church bells, really, thank you. Every time there's a wedding or if it's time for mass (at any one of the three churches located in a 5minute vicinity), we know it. It is not uncommon that this will go on for up to/over an hour.
ALSO: fire alarm. They must test it every Wednesday. EVERY Wednesday. If there is ever a fire on a Wednesday, everyone in the building will die, because no matter how well the alarm works, we've all been trained to ignore it.
We still have a nice and quiet room in Bedminster available for rent :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love that you were creeping around with your camera in hand to catch the noise haha. Gosh, I miss you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that bit about being trained to ignore fire alarms is soo true. We don't even test them here that often, but I still always asume that it is ONLY a test and decide what to do about it based on my mood.
