As the crow flies, I live 1/2 mile from a very busy interstate highway. We have lots of trees, so the noise gets attenuated, except for the ass hats who use exhaust brakes going down hill.
I've rigged up a CB radio in my man cave, and occasionally listen to truck traffic. When an out of town trucker asks for directions, I always give him a route that does not go through my hearing space.
The airport and train noises are more offensive, however.
After a few years, you get older, lose your hearing, and everything is nothing but a little background noise.
I will not tolerate a barking dog!
By your own admission you can barely hear, the fuel and schedule to meet is not yours so you're just effin with a working man. What a treasure.
