| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? @czarivey Sounds like a dream. Imagine quietness and contemplation instead of leaveblowers, OSHA beepers, and piped muzak? | |

In the US, people have a perception that they have the right TO make noise and disturb others. In other words, in the US, the ethos is that I can make ... | |
