I used to live right next to a big ol' belltower. It'd chime every hour and on special days, it'd be chiming throughout the day. A friend came to stay and was baffled at how I could sleep and work through it all

I grew up half a block from elevated railroad tracks and it's the same. People visiting kept noticing the trains going by regularly, but I'd been tuning it out all my life and had to work to consciously hear it.

Later in life I visited my childhood home as an adult, and spent the night. It had been long enough since I'd left that I began noticing the damn trains, and I had trouble getting to sleep.
