Would You Rather Have the Sounds of Waves Crashing or Horns Beeping?

Asked by Aster (20023points) June 14th, 2010

If you had to choose one, would you live in downtown NYC in a million dollar apt with the horns beeping 24/7 OR on the ocean in a cozy beach house with the waves crashing all day and all night miles from shopping?

Waves please.Far more relaxing, would actually soothe rather than irritate in anyway.Besides i’ve had enough of the horns at the world cup, cultural but what a din.

Waves crashing, hands down.

Waves, absolutely, preferably on a sun-warmed white-sand tropical Pacific island.

With a tropical adult beverage in my hand.

The sound of the sea, waves crashing please. Always.
Buy a huge freezer then you can go shopping once a month or so, and listen to the waves every day.

Waves, absolutely. Part of the reason I moved to where I did is because it’s away from the din of Manhattan and I can walk down to the water in a few minutes.

Waves crashing. But something about the sounds of the city I just like.

I wonder how many New York City’s you are going to get, i mean, it’s like asking Would you rather i’d give you a kiss or a punch in the face?
The beach house and the waves (and in due time that is exactly what i am going to live in).

Can I choose the sound of the wind blowing through some pine trees, and the call of a loon on a nearby lake?

Waves, by far. I can always visit the city, but I love being in quiet, peaceful places. Especially if there aren’t loads of people around.

I don’t like shopping.
So beach.

I’m not ready for a life of quiet relaxation yet. And it’s a million dollar apartment in the city? That’s awesome!

That’s too easy. Beach.

I’d choose the beach house, but miles from shopping is not fun. My vacation home in Carmel Valley is miles from shopping and it’s a hassle to go anywhere. It’s fine to visit for a week or so, but living there would be a pain in the ass.
