[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. I'm with you OP. Literally moving because of the noise.

We are moving from FCC to Vienna. I can no longer handle all of the noise. There is constant noise from cars zooming by and blaring music (our street is a commuter cut through right by the metro), and it is especially bad right in front of our house where there is a stop sign that they roll into in a rolling stop and then they gun it when they see there aren't other cars. Our houses are on top of each other and I am at the point where I desperately hate the neighbors on one side because of the constant noise. People are constantly walking up and down our street to and from the metro and part of the great noise pollution of these times is people walking down the street talking on the phone -- actually holding it right in front of their face, on speaker, and $#@*&ing screaming at it.

The new place in Vienna is at the end of a cul de sac, with old people in the adjacent houses, backing onto Wolf Trap woods. It is no where near as nice of a house. But I don't care. I need some peace. [/quote]

This describes my situation perfectly. Trying to move also but everything is so expensive. It wasn't always this way at my house; the noisy cars and loud people seem to have multiplied ten-fold in the past few years. Some days, when people walk by blabbing loudly, I'm tempted to turn on my Ring doorbell and play a loud beeping or siren sound.[/quote]

PP. Yeah, we closed on our FCC house in late 2012 and had been renting a house three blocks away for several years. We loved the area, and the noise never got to me. Until the last several years. I don't know what it is, or why it is I should say, but your impression that loud people have multiplied ten-fold in the past few years seems accurate to me.

And yeah, trying to move because stuff is so expensive has been very hard. I met with a cleaning guy at the new house today so they can do a deep clean before we move in and it really struck me how, if you put houses on a scale of 1-10, one being a shack and 10 being a mansion, I'm probably moving from a 7 to a 5. And it is costing me money. But the NoVA housing market is nuts. I'm actually looking into a serious side hustle to bring in more money. [/quote]

Based on your description of where you live in FCC, I bet it's the construction. There has been so much construction in the past 5 years and that noise carries really far.[/quote]
