Comment on The Effects of Noise on Health (2022)parent

Many US cities and town permit construction to happen at relatively early hours - like 6 or 7 AM. That’s usually not a problem if you’re a 9-5er. It is a massive problem if you work late shifts. My wife works in the restaurant business and 6 or 7 AM she’s still deep asleep. We had construction near our condo for nearly three years where spring, summer, and fall the jackhammers started at around a little before 7 every weekday. It was brutal for her. That, plus various other issues, lead us to decide our next home is going to be a quiet single family home in a suburb. Yes - a suburb!
