I hear ye. I honestly think the soundscape of cities is bad for overall mental health.

When I'm down the bellarine there's a bit of road noise / more garden / powertools but come 9pm it is DEAD quiet. Can hear the individual waves crash from 2kms away. It is BLISS. Makes such a difference mentally.
