How much noise is there in your neighborhood? It could be that it is usually quiet, but neighbors moved in that make a lot of noise into the late night hours. Or maybe you like to sleep late in the morning but are unable to do so because of traffic outside. It could even be that you have moved into a new home, and pipes and appliances are noisier than you are used to.
Is there anything to do? Well, for noisy appliances, you can try to clean out fans and filters, and tighten loose screws and bolts, but in the end, you might need to replace old appliances with new, quiet ones.
Pipes that make noise, maybe rattling when water runs through them, could be improved when attached more securely, or even when covered by insulation.
Better insulation is also the solution for noise that comes from the outside. Unfortunately, this is not a quick, cheap fix, but it is your best remedy if you just feel like you can’t take the noise from the world around you.
