Have you ever heard an American Toad trilling? It goes for maybe 5

them outside your window it could drive you crazy.

Naaa, by that time you've got white noise, easy to sleep to. What wakes
you up is when they all stop at once, dead silence.

"It's quiet out there. Too quiet..." :-)

However, Jan's neighbors are apparently already crazy :-)

????? I hope you're mean crazy in that they did not talk to or write me a
note, and not crazy because they live near me? ~ jan

No, just crazy that they want to object to the sounds of nature. I say, if
you can't stand nature, move to the city.
