Constant noise becomes background sound and soon goes un-noticed. It's intermittent noise that I find more disturbing.

I lived in California over thirty years ago and the highway noise near our house was very loud. I didn’t realize it when I bought it but at night and in colder weather it sounded like a jet taking off. The house is worth today more than I could ever have imagined, $2.3 million! I guess most people don’t care. One note though, there are reputable studies showing a link between highway noise and hypertension so it may not just be innocuous background noise.
