SITE LOCALIZER | Minimum little noise required | Oct 15, 2025 |

My workspace overlooks the rear of my building, which is mainly occupied by a hotel terrace. This means that noise levels are low during the day, but at night it's a different story when the hotel organises dinners on the terrace...

Still bearable (doesn't happen too often). One thing that's really taxing on your ears is everyone knocking off slag, all the time, after every pass. A translator working from home has probably never been exposed to that level of hammering noise. And I have no regrets: I wanted a more dynamic life and got it ▲ Collapse
