One of the most challenging aspects of continuous expansive population is noise. Noise eveywhere from neighbors pounding and drilling, sawing and chatting early in the morning, to cars and endless traffic making silence a thing of the past. Motorcycles racing by. Lawn mowers mowing all summer long. Snow plows in the winter. Children screaming 🙀. Dogs barking. Jets and planes ✈️ flying by. Guns going off. Making meditation challenging to find peace.
That happens in urban areas, but less so in rural areas. And, speaking of meditation, I've used earplugs or cuffs when in noisy environments.
