Dudes with megaphones, cars or planes circling the neighbourhood with loud speakers, three stereos playing different loud and clashing jingles all in the one store. Musical garbage collection. Sirens. Yapping dogs and screaming children. Roaring freeways and slow revving motorcycles. Drunkards shouting in thick Kansai-ben, business men roaring on their cellphones, gaggles of schoolgirls bothering dogs with their high pitched yammering. Honking subway trains, automated announcements, alarms that appear to tell you that there's nothing to be alarmed about. Even nature is noisy with cicadas and frogs!
But don't talk at all on the commuter trains or you'll annoy someone.
Sheish.
If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, it wouldn't make any difference because no one could hear the sound of a tree falling for the rest of the din.
