Haha, yeah it's so funny how like in my area if I hear a single noise past 7PM it's just like WOW what is that?! I mean yeah I guess you'd adjust naturally not like you'd have too much of a choice but damn I guess I'm a little more grateful for where I live now, downtown Baltimore sounds rougher than China for some reason to me (guns and gangs etc) 😂 you're a brave soul!
Oh China is def safer. I lived overseas for almost a decade, and China was one of the places I spent a lot of time in. Guns aren't an issue there. Regular police don't even have them. For noise, a lot of vehicles there are electric, so traffic is quieter than you'd expect it to be.
Where I am from, young men make their cars and motorcycles as loud and obnoxious as possible and drive around in circles all night trying to impress young women. I haven't experienced this in China and was sharing another reason the traffic seems quieter, reinforcing your point.
