I really don’t like other people’s noise inflicting itself into my life. At worst it can trigger anxiety in me. But mostly it just feels like a constant push against my peace of mind.
For example when people blare the radios and I can hear it. I don’t want to hear your music, commercials and talk radio. We live in an era where it is utterly unnecessary for me to have to.
Put on a pair of ear pods. Your experience of the music is better and I don’t have to share it with you.
My neighbor is currently listening to Christmas music while he works on his car. I’m not thrilled.
Same neighbor who gets picked up at 4:30 am for work. His ride HONKS THE DAMN HORN to signal his arrival. So everyone in the neighborhood is woken up. We live in an age of cell phones. There is NO GODDAMN REASON to honk. Text / Call. The rest of us don’t need to wake up because you have to go to work at that ungodly hour!
It's a Thought 
Have you suggested the text instead of a honk to him? Sounds very reasonable to me but then again I would have been sensitive to that at the beginning.

I have not. I’m not comfortable comfortable knocking and just bringing it up. And at 430 in the morning I’m not in the best of moods. sigh.

Oh, this. I have neighborhood girls over the back fence that having screaming contests, plus Mr. Midlife Crisis revving his old Corvette in the driveway, plus parents picking up kids at the nearby school blaring their car radios.
Seriously, why?!

The level of obliviousness people have to their surroundings is amazing.

Someone needs to start throwing rocks at that guy beeping his horn at 4am! I can’t think of a worse way to be awaken. I’d be grumpy too!
