The Shakes
We live one block from a MetroTransit Bus Garage. We also live on a street that has one of the most frequent bus lines in the city.
Most of the buses that leave the garage at the start of their routes drive by our house to get to them. Most buses also drive by our house at the end of their shifts to get back to the garage. At the beginning and end of each rush hour, and the beginning and end of each day, buses drive by every few minutes.
Every time a bus (or large truck) drives by, with any sort of speed, the house shakes. I wonder if I will ever get used to that.

You will. Pretty soon you won't pay any attention to it. In the house I grew up in, we were right on the Huron river and along the river ran a train track. Trains would come through several times a day which included heavy freight trains, they were deafening, the ground shook, windows rattled and the warning bells echoed. But it never phased us. They never woke us up at night, nothing. Maybe this is why I sleep straight through thunder storms! I imagine it's the same for people who live in the vicinity of airports.
