It sounds like it's more the neighbourhood than the city. I don't have much of that where I am. A few sirens, maybe, but I've learned to filter them out. I sleep less than 100 feet from Eglinton Avenue East, a major four-lane street in Toronto. A bus goes by every few minutes. None of this disturbs my sleep. I think it's because my building's windows and walls are fairly soundproof.
