When they re-route the rapid transit bus 1 block so it ends up going down my street during street repairs, my kid and my wife and myself get regularly woken up starting at 4:45am. Then the bus keeps going till midnight. Yippee what fun!

If you can notice people at a bus stop outside your house then you need better sound insulation. If you want to keep your windows open at night and have that be quite then move the the middle of nowhere.

I say this as someone that lived near an airport, even guests did not notice unless the windows where open.

Definitely. If it really bothers you, you can invest in double-paned windows and a good ventilation system. I used to live right under the San Diego flight path [1] and slept beautifully every night.

The state-of-the-art arrived at triple-paned by now.

If a bus is your noise threshold you should be living on a farm, not one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country.
