| Comment | A lot of those noises are unfortunately normal living noises though. Especially if you live in a tenement flat. People are allowed to use their homes normally within reason even if it is late. Dogs and people with shoes on walking around being heard is more to do with the quality of the insulation and soundproofing which unfortunately in many older Scottish buildings can be basically non-existent. It is unfortunate but it just comes with the territory. Living in a flat means that sometimes you are going to hear neighbours or traffic, the good news is that you will get used to it after a while. I used to live in New York where there would be constant traffic and blaring horns literally every minute of the day and night and when I first moved in I thought I would never be able to sleep. Turns out after a couple of nights you stop noticing altogether. Now I find it weird how quiet it is when I visit my parents house in a tiny village and it is dead quiet all the time. |
