You might be forgetting about how loud birds can be. At least twice a week I'll wake up to birds chirping until at least 7am.
They are extremely loud, second only to no muffler cars and sport bikes blasting through deserted back roads.
If you live in the woods with trees, they'll sound as loud as the ocean. If you live near the ocean, well that's always loud.
The biggest offenders are:
1. cars/trucks
2. birds
3. airplanes
4. ac units
5. ocean
6. wind with trees
You'd never know trees sound like the ocean if you aren't around trees. Trains are loud but intermittent. And trains don't run very often anymore where I am.
There is a couple of conected rail spur lines near less than 500yard from my bedroom window which BNSF have decided to uses as make shift switching yard rather than the actual switching yard on the other side of town. Occasionally it is building shakingly load.
Unrelated. To the noise but just as obnoxious,
They also seem to get a pervasive joy in cutting town in half by parking their trains in the main line running through the middle of the town lengthwise. I understand the rail line was here first and the town grew up along the length of the track, but why they cant park their train on the miles of empty straight track outside of town. It boggles my mind.
GP is very right. To this day, I know that if I don't go to sleep until ~03:30, I might just as well stay up - when the birds wake and start making noise, I won't be able to sleep at all. Cars, trams, trains, I can tune out. There's something about bird chirps that makes them impossible for my brain to ignore. It's worse than loud snoring.
Interesting - I love the sound of birds and can go right back to sleep when they are chirping outside and I have the window open. Road noise on the other hand...
