...there are loud thuds, but not frequently, so they tend to scare the bejeezus out of me... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear" aria-label="Emoji: Face screaming in fear">

...also, and because the front of our 2nd floor walk-up apartment is directly above covered parking, echos and car sounds add “ambiance” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏎" title="Racing car" aria-label="Emoji: Racing car">

...did i mention the eardrum-exploding, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Collision symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Collision symbol">building-wide fire alarm https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire"> has gone off TWICE in the last 24 hours? yeah. fun times... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎" title="Thumbs down" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down"> it really adds the charm to the place https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face"> although, my ears have been ringing all day...

...one would surmise that having ceiling fans in every room, and the way the windows are purposely designed for air-flow https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌬" title="Wind blowing face" aria-label="Emoji: Wind blowing face"> adds a nice white-noise overtone...

...but the pipes https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚽" title="Toilet" aria-label="Emoji: Toilet"> we share with neighbors are REALLY. LOUD. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face">

(note: i like to pretend i’m from NYC, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗽" title="Statue of liberty" aria-label="Emoji: Statue of liberty">so i’ve lived with waaay obnoxious building pipes in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and this... is worse...)

anyhoo! up next: the general ‘neighborhood drama’ we’ve noticed thus far ( #moved-in https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔑" title="Key" aria-label="Emoji: Key"> 2 weeks ago,) perhaps in another tweet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face">
