I go feral with the lawnmowers start up in thw neighborhood. Im also near a small airport, the planes are bad but when The black hawks and shinooks are out doing drills is the worst cuz they just circle and circle until I feel insane.

sometimes, you get inccenant plane take offs, lawnmowers, highway traffic, and dogs barking all at the same time. I like being outside but holy fuck

    Depending on how overt you want to be, ear defenders or "concert earplugs" might be helpful to you.

    The concert plugs are designed to just take everything down a few notches but leave vocal range alone where possible, same as ear defenders in all honesty.

    Means you can still hear people, birds and animals, but takes the amplitude out of everything else, making the soundscape far more tolerable.
