NOISE? What’s bearable from one individual can be highly subjective to another. It’s important to accept that a certain level of consistent, background sound in just about any home is inevitable. This is especially true of a family home fizzing with electronics in a built-up residential area. Even rural homes will endure overnight silage cutting and dramatic cattle calls as part of the seasonal round.
Still, if the sounds regularly penetrating your domestic space (no matter how inane to others) are causing stress, and disturbing your sleep (potentially reducing the power of your immune system) it is considered noise pollution. The consistent presence of this nuisance sound could actually make you and your family ill.
