Do you hate loud typing? Loud eating? Slurping?

88. I've found the opposite to be the case.

For example, some weeks ago the apartments next to this one were re-doing their paving. In their infinite wisdom, they also felt that they needed to jackhammer out the old (and perfectly nice even compared to our new concrete one) exit ramp instead of just paving on top of it, like they've always done. So, jackhammer noise all day long for several days.

There's a noise site I use often just for relaxation. I hadn't ever used it for sound masking. And yet, when I used the demolition sounds to mask out the industrial noise next door, it worked quite well! It didn't eliminate that noise entirely, but it merged with the site's noise enough that I could tune it out easier. And when they stopped, I often didn't know right away.

And when the neighbors' kid below me starts shrieking, music usually masks it just fine
(Although earlier this evening I was using the Flying Fortress page to mask the screaming...)
