I used to live a few miles from I5 and that was loud and constant, but was a pretty soft kinda rushing sound not really that different from hearing the wind rustling trees; the sound going on in this video sounds like an idling diesel truck parked across the street.
I live close to a highway and it's just white noise. I can tune it out outside and inside you can't hear anything. Except for the motorbikes with custom exhausts. You can hear those assholes even inside. And it's not because of the highway, you can hear the motorbikes all on adjacent streets as well. It's really crazy to me that some idiots are allowed to add huge amounts of noise to our environment just for fun. Fuck bikers.
It really does sounds like a large idling diesel truck.
I live 1.5km away from a busy intl airport and there are jets all day idling their engines, it's not loud, but it is quite constant. Now, I chose to live near the airport because it's a great location and very convenient, but I do smell burning rubber whenever the wind is blowing my way and a plane lands. But at least the flights quiet down to a trickle at night time. Data enters never quiet down. I'd rather an airport 1.5km from me than a data centre. At least the airport benefits me in some way.
I still wouldn't want to hear that diesel truck sound all day everyday.
Obviously. I think the guy in the video is being too generous comparing it to the freeway sounds. The data center is way louder and more annoying. That would absolutely drive me insane.
Yea, it might be hard to hear that full sound in a video. Being near them, it is loud as fuck.
