Yes, isnt it terrible!
The only way I have come to some rest with all the noise, is trying
to make the noise sound as real as possible. Today I don't get crazy
about traffic noise, for example, as long as it sounds like traffic
noise and not like wind or a stream.
If the noise is there and you can't help it, make it a piece of the
picture and record it anyway!
Or use a parabol and focus on individual sounds.
