Title says it all. What really irks you that you don’t get to complain about much without catching some glances? Seriously, get as passionate as you’d like. I assume you’re an expert.

    Motors. They are everywhere. Big motors, small motors, motors in every vehicle, motors in many home appliances, fans in many of your electronics, on the ceiling, in the walls, standing on the floors, inside, outside, you can hear them in the sky, or running down the tracks. Noisy, noisy motors and somehow it’s all background noise to everyone else but me.

    Is it summer time? Want to open a window and listen to the birds sing? Nah, fuck you it’s the neighbour’s air conditioning unit.

    Am I crazy or is the rest of world crazy? Who knows. Here’s a motor. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

      I get glances from people when I mention the electricity in my walls are too loud. Every damn thing hums too loudly in the cities and is extremely noticeable when the power goes out.

      These people pretend they can’t hear all the motors but then complain that the city is loud!

      No it isn’t; cars are loud! Move yours out of my city! I’m trying to live in peace, here!

      Honestly. You need only try to listen to music or a podcast with open headphones near to a road to see how quickly it gets drowned out by even just having a car pass by.

      Its annoying having to crank my music up to a relatively uncomfortable level just so I can hear it without having ANC.

      Though ironically enough I do find the low, relatively quiet humming of a spinning fan comforting.
