Noise is EXACTLY the reason why my partner and I are moving to a quieter neighborhood in the city. Ideally, we would have a cottage with a garden and woods in the country, but that's not possible now. It's better that we'll be away from the noise of downtown (where we'll be until the last weekend in March) and one floor above a bar/nightclub. Yikes!
