Hah, your timing is great. My lease is up for renewal, I've already toured some other alternatives, and I'm trying to decide right now (like maybe today) whether I want to put in an application.

The expense and hassle are both significant, but being away from that noise would be pretty nice. It's interesting to hear the perspective of someone with firsthand knowledge of the situation.

One thing I realized in this process is that you can find quiet and you can find walkability, but if you want both, that's way more difficult.

Also, in my experience, the loudest vehicles are all that way due to aftermarket modifications. And they're probably breaking noise laws that already exist but just aren't enforced.
