It's loud out here in the woods too! I hear night birds like owls answering each other,or that whipporwill that seems to be right outside my window (they're LOUD) about a gozillion crickets, and don't get me started on the frogs...they're out of control! they seem to be trying to see who can be the loudest! and then, as if thats not enough, theres the wind...up here on this ridge it's pretty windy! and if you DO ever get to sleep then theres that rooster who thinks that HE'S responsible for the sunrise and just has to crow about it...It's just noise,noise,noise...but it's my world, and my choices are the same no matter where i am, (love it or hate it) and while it may be considerably easier to love the noises of the country, I've had to deal with living in a semi truck before amd that was'nt! so, just keep on lovin where you're at, (I've been in philly so I know what you mean)
