It's incredibly frustrating how many people can't go a few minutes without obnoxiously loud sound. It's even worse if you're in an apartment or other close quarters because people assume playing something loud enough to hear on the opposite side of the building is their God-given right.

Are you American? I ask because I’ve been told in a lot of other places it’s abnormal to have paper thin walls without sound insulation, where you can hear every fart a neighbor makes. I’ve only ever rented in paper-walled shitholes in the US, so I couldn’t say. Either way, it pisses me off even more that this is a solvable problem that landlords have simply chosen to not solve, because it’s cheaper and they don’t have to live with the literal health consequences of constant noise pollution.
