Noise noise everywhere

This is why I live in the middle of nowhere - can't stand noise! Even a short trip to town "does my head in" - especially the shops with their crap "musical" background.

We used to joke that the loudest noise round here is the cows farting!

If this makes me a grumpy old lady, then I am happy to be so.

I’ve just bought a Fridge magnet that says ‘The need of quiet, the need of air’ Octavia Hill

I am noise sensitive too Vintage. I try to avoid sitting anywhere near a super duper Italian coffee machine. Between the hissing and the banging out of each lot of coffee grounds it is impossible to have a conversation.

Another grumpy here. Can’t stand all the noise everywhere but love listening to the birds. Grateful to live in the countryside and to have very quiet neighbours.

Yes Vintage I’m afraid we are grumpy old ladies!

Everytime I get on a bus the person beside me or behind me is yak yakking into a phone.

Every shop is playing loud thumpy thump music.

Every teenager seems to shout not talk.

Every cafe is full of shrieking kids, loud hissing coffee machines and aforesaid awful music.

Even libraries aren't the peaceful sanctuaries they used to be.

Is nowhere quiet anymore or am I just a grumpy old lady?
