053 – Noise Management

Hello kiddos! Settle down somewhere nice and quiet! It's time for another question! UnicornSandwich35 asks: Do you have anything you do when you're in an environment that is too loud? As someone who lives with 8 of my 9 siblings, I find it hard to get any quiet time. Nine siblings... as an only child, I can't even imagine. But last summer our new neighbors re-did their floors, while there was construction work in the building so I do have some experience with noise. Not having any quiet time can be incredibly stressful. Your brain never gets to shut off and relax. And a lot of stuff that helps against noise can also be mentally taxing in the long run. I don't know your situation, but I'm assuming this isn't something that can be solved easily. If you haven't talked to your family yet, maybe start there? Do the others also want some quieter times, to study, nap or just relax? Or are there times when the house is less full? I understand that it's a difficult situation to manage. You can't exactly expect people to be quiet when they're just going about their day, especially if they're kids. Maybe you have to search for a solution outside the home. I know third spaces are hard to come by here in late stage capitalism-land. But if you have a local library, that's a good place to start. I don't know what it's like where you are, but here most libraries have quiet reading sections or study rooms. And either way, it's bound to be a little calmer than your house. But if that's not an option, we can only mitigate the damage. Good noise cancelling headphones are a godsend. They can be expensive, but even thick over-ear headphones muffle some noise and you can play music to cut out the rest. In a pinch, cheap construction ear protectors also work, or ear plugs. For me, the vibrations from the noise is almost as bad as the noise itself. Eliminating vibrations can help cut the stress, even if it doesn't take away the sound. It's a tough situation, and I don't know if I can really help you all that much. If you sibling-haver got any suggestions, drop them off in the comments! That's it for today! Thanks for reading, kiddos! I love you!
