Noise problems

[ChiefKiasu]

Well, the place I stay around has some roosters. I don’t know if anyone is rearing them, but, well, they start crowing at 5am and pretty much through the day (no, roosters don’t just crow to wake you up). Gotten used to them already. I think they are probably kept by some people because sometimes their crowing seems muffled like they are being kept in a house. I’m used to it already.

Urban life gets more complicated esp in compact Singapore. That’s one of many reasons why ppl choose to emigrate to bigger land & live far fr the maddening crowd for some peace & sanity.


Remind me of my days in downunder where I woke up to absolute silence in my dormitory when most hv gone for summer holidays. It was so beautiful to snuggle in. So, even in a big country, you’ll loath with some noise u’re just not comfortable with esp when ppl do strange things in the night to disrupt yr sleep. I just got myself earplugs.

Some ppl get used to noise & accept them easily hence noise becomes bkgrd noise. Some struggle daily as noise is major annoyance to their lives that it impacts them to the point of daily/regular insomnia.

Like Chief, we hv chicken crows here that spare us fr setting our hp alarms. The rubbish truck regular rounds signals the time of morning for us to get going with our marketing. The passing of vehicles when neighbors sets out to work, etc.

S’times it’s refreshing to go on holidays in countrysides. Just to regain some sanity & get a grip back to our lives.

Hello parents, may I know if you have any noise issues at your home?
Like construction noise, MRT noise, Traffic noise? Do you have playground near your house? Or even bird or rooster that your neighbor kept as a pet? if you have, do you think is affecting the sleep of you and your family?
Can share if you have? And what was your solution?

If u really cannot tahan the noise from your neighbour or from people downstairs your unit inspite of having talked to them before

And the noise is affecting you mentally, emotionally, Sorry, no choice, look for another place to shift out. But next time before u buy or rent another unit, check properly carefully this time esp. at different times of the day including eg. Past midnight whether got people come chit chatting in groups or gathered together for some social activities or play mahjong, downstairs your house.

If your house faces a 24 non stop Expressway of car traffic, then don't rent this place, since is non stop noisy

I’ve lived in quite a few noisy places, overseas mainly, but also in Singapore - opposite bus station, above bus stops, beside main roads, over playground, construction, chickens, mahjong games, crying children… If it’s due to inconsiderate behaviour of others, you could try to speak to them about limiting the noise, but some things are not within anyone’s control.


We just ignored them as best as we could, and got used to it. It did bother us occasionally, but it was not usually loud enough to drown out our conversation (which is our low bar). Try fans or other ways to create "white noise"? Use ear plugs or aircon when you really need quiet?

Recently we have works around our area too…once I noticed that it was really noisy when I couldn’t hear the other party properly during a phone conversation. I m not sure how long the works will take but seem quite some time already.


Daytime, we usually close the doors , windows…and it will be quiet. We are lucky as our bedroom windows are facing away from the noise.

Also, sometimes try get used to it may help a little

Oh yuh. I forgot to mention that being awaken by chickens is definitely NOT as bad as being awaken by alarm clocks! For a while, someone in other units had an alarm go off at 6am and DOESN'T turn it off for hours. If murder is not a crime, the world would be a much quieter place

I’m so lucky to have survived until now as my alarm is set at 0500 a.m. every working day.

depends on how you define the word, \"noisy\".

Example

If is like past 11 pm onwards, inconsiderate people bring their foldable chairs downstairs your block to chit chat loudly or \" wash \" mahjong betting chips on a mahjong table loudly, or get drunk by beer lady and use microphone to sing songs late at night,

until past midnight or say, to 3 am in the morning, is very hard to tolerate, to continue living in this type of condition. One example is this article, hereby attached :-

Early mornings I get roosters crowing and Koels calling.


Evenings I get kids and maids screaming at the playground.

I’ve gotten used to these over the years. If it gets too noise in the evening, I will just close my patio doors.

What irritates me these days is a couple of new residents in our estate who do not believe in headphones or earpiece. I see them walking around the estate or at the exercise corner for their morning/evening exercise with their music blasting from their mobiles. Or they will be having a game of tennis and again they blast their music while playing.

What to do, just close my doors when they are out and about.
