    Not to mention that the brain is really good at tuning out frequent noises. I lived next to a busy highway for years, and it only took about a week before I didn’t hear the semis flying past.

      I wish this worked on foxes at night, but it doesn’t seem to. Foxes at night make noises like a baby being stabbed repeatedly, and it’s pretty disturbing. When I first moved to my current house and heard this, I had no fucking idea what it was and it freaked the shit out of me. It still grabs my attention whenever they’re around, which fortunately isn’t every night.
