A place may seem quiet at first, but sounds soon come through. During a quiet night at home. Nature s noise usually bother us less than people s noises. Even in a natural quiet spot one hears birds or animal noises or perhaps the wind. Weather is sometimes very noisy.
Noise is everywhere.
Noise can travel a long distance. The noise of power lines can be heard for up to two miles. The buzz of a chain saw is heard for up to five miles. If you live near a freeway, you know that road noise can travel from eight to ten miles. Insulation in homes protects no only against heat and cold, but against outside noise as well.
