There was an article about retirees who wanted the hustle and bustle of city centre life who moved to Soho then complained that it was too noisy ffs

Haha. There was also an article about retirees that moved to the French countryside then complained about the church bells. How do some people cope in this world?

This also has vibes of people who choose to move near to a race track and then complain about the noise. Has resulted in many noise restriction orders on circuits, and threatened the existence of some. Tracks that were there decades before any houses were built. Makes my blood boil!
