It’s not simply that noise accelerates the grumpification process. It is a pollutant, with well-established effects on multiple aspects of physical and mental health, from cardiovascular disease to depression.

Humans evolved our acute hearing millions of years ago, when we were prey animals and had to pinpoint predators, so it is no wonder we find noise stressful. It is hardwired.
...
People tend to be more irritated by noises that come from unpredictable human sources (loud music, loft conversions and tanked-up England fans) than predictable impersonal ones (roads).

Unsurprisingly, all of the loudest areas are in cities; it is well established that the more densely populated an area is, the more complaints there will be.

My hearing is quite acute, and I suffer with migraines. Sometimes even the sound of lawn mowers going off in the distance can trigger headaches. It is STILL a fuckton better than when I lived in crowded city conditions on a busy intersection. That shit was bad.

If you can get your roommates to go in with you on it may be worth seeing if you can get free delivery from the grocery store. I looked into it but the free didn't kick in at my spending level. With the three of you it may work and would be worth looking into. Migraines really stink!Quote

I get migraines so bad that it can cause an ambulance ride to interrupt my trip to the grocery store.
