4. I noticed a decline in noise

at the beginning of the COVID shutdown, especially in traffic noise...
I live by a major connecting highway between 2 counties .. so less traffic, but that just makes the sirens from the ambulances stand out 😔

sadly after awhile every redneck with a loud motor, and bulletbikes and such decided to take advantage of the free lanes and daily around dusk roar up and down the highway at breakneck speeds ... for about an hour ... then it’s over ...
and it gets quiet again ... it’s quiet now ... 🙏
