Thunderstorms wake me up because I like them so much.

Moved to a very noisy apartment about a year and half ago. Near a major hospital so ambulances 24/7. Near a rather busy intersection so cars, trucks, motorcycles accelerating 24/7. Live under the approach for a large international airport, so large planes decelerating often throughout the day.

Kept a fan on for almost a year. Fan didn’t like it so now it wobbles.

Finally bought an old white noise machine with an actual fan inside. LOVE IT. It doesn’t filter out everything but it sure helps.

Also helps keep temps down. Basically creates a microclimate.
