sirens

[low_delta]

I thought I wouldn't have too put up with the loud sirens, once I moved out of town. They're not as common or as close, but they're still there. One reason is that we're only a couple of houses from the corner of a main thoroughfare that leads to the hospital. Beyond that, I couldn't tell you why we hear so many.

Just now a fire truck was heading south and turned the corner to go by our house. But that leads *into* town. A minute later, I heard another siren, and another fire truck went south, but continued south past our intersection. I have no idea what's going on.

When we lived in Wauwatosa we were right there on the main route to County Hospital. Sirens all the time. After awhile I found I could sleep right through them, but it took awhile.

I'm sure you could.

Trains never bothered me, but these sirens are still infrequent enough, that I always notice them.

i'm guessing that your new place is in an area with less background noise than your old place?......hence, you hear more individual sounds....

There is background noise, but there seems to be less variety of sounds. There is the nearby freeway and the road in front of our house. Other than that, it's all just nature. And occasionally the neighbor's dog. No gas station, no factory, no mechanic, no accountant's or realtor's customers, no kids, no TV's, no parties...

And since the sirens used to be thirty feet away from our front door, they're much quieter now. I was just saying that I was surprised they go by as often as they do.
