Let me tell you about unbearable

My wife grew up in Coney Island Brooklyn at a junction of 4 subway lines. All night long you would hear screeching from subway cars every few minutes as they applied their brakes.

No A/C in the building so during the summer had to leave windows open.

Wife and her parents claimed they got used to it. Now that was unbearable to me.

Yet somehow they were able to bear it.

Being near power lines: one can measure the EMF at all levels through out the property and outside with a meter from Amazon. Maybe worth it since unlike noise you can’t tell by just being there. Some people are susceptible to these waves and may develop cancer etc. with noise there is a decibel app for your phone you can use to measure the level.

TV sales agents, nor any other decent agent, assumes items are negative to a buyer. They should ASSUME nothing. Agents aren't selfishly ONLY interested in commissions. Sadly, we are a species of generalities. Not everyone is the same in thought, word,or deed.

If not only interested in commissions, how about mostly?
