"My neighbor likes to yell, so I yell louder so I don't have to hear what they're saying. One day, there was a fire in my house, they were yelling for me to get out, but... I just yelled back and almost died."

Answer is not to fight noise with noise, or to hide from reality because it's not Disney Land. There is no easy answer, but propaganda is the wrong answer.

You are assuming when yelling the neighbor is in good will.

No, I'm saying that you listen, but filter out the volume and noise in a way that doesn't attempt to make the situation more noisy, add volume, or hide the reality of it.
