Funny! We lived in DC for 15 yrs before retiring this April to TV. Would visit my parents on the North Fork of Long Island and not be able to sleep- darn cicadas at nite and birds chirping at 4am. Love the sound of pickleball & woman leading the aerobic swim class at the rec center across the street - both after 7:30 am. And I do love the sound of the train going up 301 as it crosses 42 (live across the street from Mulberry Grove rec center).
