I posted this and later realized that I have literally years of experience living at least this close to a dozen diesel motors grinding 24/7, pipes clanging and people yelling. So I don't know why I even brought it up. I guess I'm just a whiny old dude anymore.
Screw it. I'm walking down to the bar in a minute so that when I come back I won't hear it anymore. Cuz that's basically the way we handled it in the oil field when I was in my 20s and 30s.
