my windows closed (my house is 120+ yo). however, the ones who complain
about noise are the ones who want to keep their windows open all night
either because they are too cheap to run the AC or they dont like AC.
what may prove useful is some Eau de'skunk sprayed periodically to
encourage them to close their windows at night. Ingrid

We all have noise to put up with.

That's a right tolerant attitude. A/C is bad for health (most people's - I
admit asthma sufferers have a need), bad for our environment, and it's a
more annoying noise than wildlife.

I don't use AC because my health is _worse_ with it. I just spent two
glorious weeks in Portugal where I never saw an A/C unit. For the first
time in years, my sinuses opened up.
