Goodbye the impression of countryside in the city. Since Monday, France has started its gradual deconfinement. Return to work for adults, to school for children, and reopening of businesses are on the program. And for a few days now, an element of the "world before" has also returned: noise.

The construction sites have restarted, and with them the jackhammers and the large trucks and construction equipment. And if the time has not yet come for traffic jams on the main roads of the country, road traffic has already intensified. Cars and two-wheelers backfiring on the roads now cover the sweet song of the birds that delighted all city dwellers immersed in the unprecedented calm of confinement.

Is this your case? Do you live in a big city? Does the noise bother you as much as before, or are you even more sensitive to it today, after two months of calm confinement? What is the type of noise nuisance that bothers you the most (related to the deconfinement eh, we are not talking about the snoring of your other half)? Do you have or do you intend to take measures to remedy this (earplugs, double glazing, or even moving)? Tell us.
