Arrooooo a good boy?
Most air purifiers double as white noise machines. Helps cut down on outside noise a hell of a lot.
More noise? No, thanks. I prefer to isolate the windows
There are also free phone apps that generate lots of different ambient sounds. Finding those let me ditch fans for good, and I have my sweet, soothing sleep sounds anywhere I go.
My dog is old and deaf now so itâs less of a problem anymore, but she used to occasionally go outside and bark at opossums on the back fence in the middle of the night. I was always mortified that she might wake up the neighbors and weâd try to get her back inside as fast as possible, which let me tell you is a struggle when there is an opossum, mom, no I donât want to come in, I want that thing to come down so I can sniff the shit out of it.
I always wear earplugs to bed, no matter what. I cut a bit less than half of the ends off at an angle so I can sleep with them in my ear comfortably. Cutting them at an angle creates a sort of handle so they donât get stuck in your ear.
Study your cityâs ordinances and be persistent. Itâs an uphill battle but worth it.
I donât understand people that let their dog bark uncontrolled. My dog wants to bark at cats, the one neighbor he doesnât like and at ambulances and churchbells. We would never let him out after 10 pm or before 7 am for that reason alone and during the day we try to silence him (he knows the silence command, and when he ignores it he loses his outdoor privilege for the hour). We have a dog down the road that is chained up in the yard all day and night and barks at passersby all the time. This week the house nextdoor was sold and I feel so bad for the new homeowners.
