How does one cope with constant car door bangings?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm so fed up, I've been forced to a place surrounded by cars parking, and in just a few months I heard more car door bashings than probably the rest of my life combined... at some point being homeless must be quieter, right? I'm going insane, this goddamn world, I've never owned a car and yet cancer is forced upon me by their pollution, atrocious revving, and doors seemingly used as weapons...

That sounds awful . I heard a (broken) gate banging continuously a few months ago, it made me crazy but I only heard it when in one room, so I wore headphones when in there.

Could you try headphones/earplugs? Other ideas I've heard of (but don't know if work) are: Noise blocking curtains (or just thick curtains), see if there are any gaps at the bottom of windows/doors and tape them with insulating tape. A draught excluder might do the same as the above with the noise? I'm not sure, but I hope it gets better for you.

I admit, I'm a culprit because I bang close my car doors. It's an old car so a lot of the time the doors don't shut properly.

I park my car in an echoing carport so when I slam my doors it must piss off the neighbour, a man in his 50s. He doesn't own a car but has visitors who park next to my car. I don't mind this.

If you don't slam your car door, it won't close all the way.
