Gotcha.I don't think you're following me. That's probably my fault. I don't have a problem with ambient noise. I have a problem with unnecessarily induced noise. I have worked and slept in some very noisy environments without a bother. If it's 110db in a boiler room I don my earmuffs and carry on. On the other hand if I'm working in a 90db boiler room and some jerkoff wannabe stationary eng. sets up with a ghetto blaster, almost immediately I'm upset. It's not the noise, it's the reason of the noise.
In the future try to be concise. I do read for entertainment but I don't like spending 5 mins deciphering the point.
Thanks
