I come from the city. The noise is endless and completely uncontrollable. You simply get used to it. Although I always knew that the 'peace and quiet of the countryside' was more spiritual than actual, and had more to do with movement and multisensual-overload than sound levels, I was still surprised at the sheer volume of noise here. I lived in a small cabin type apartment in honoka'a that appeared to have roosters living beneath the post and piller structure. They were literally 6 inches away from my head at night. Believe it or not, like the chaos of London, you do get used to it. Not only are there cockerels crowing, there will be dogs barking, sometimes incessantly, and something I never would have expected - weather !! The same cabin in honoka'a had a tin roof! The rain was so loud that you could not think, let alone sleep, watch tv, or converse In any way. It all just starts to become part of 'normal' after a while.
